Are you close to each friend in your group?

Well ever since school or work or etc. friends usually are formed in groups. For example you are a group of 5 friends. Do you get along with all of them genuinely? or meaning have a close relationship with all of them? I am just curious because I am in a group of friends since college but I can say that I am not close to most of them just a handful 2 or 3 of them I guess it's like I get along with the others as long as the others are also there during that time. I guess I bond easily to people when I am with an individual rather than as a whole group since I get to know most things about that individual rather than when in a group. Anyway do you experience this? or am i the only one?

be it at work or school life, I always have a group friends, but just as you say it's more easy to feel a bonding to an individual than to the group itself, then again depend on how much you spend time with your group you can still feel a strong bond between them, try to do more group activity with your friend, I usually playing a board game or hiking with them, not only I feel happy just to be with them, I also feel like I can depend on them at the hardest time, more than my family. having some strong bonded group takes a lot a time and you may never know it when you have formed one, it "just happen" like that. my friends and I never actually planned we gonna be together this long, we just love to hanging around together, chatting, and do some group activity together, and before we knew it we know that we will never forget each other even we have our own family now. just some more thought, I've never think that we can create friend, we just find them like that, be it fate or accident or even some fight, you can always suddenly befriend someone, we just do it because we feel like it, writing this has made me realize that I've never planned all my friends, and made me grateful for it. note : we still hanging together even now, and we thanked our wife and GF for her patience and understanding.

hi you are right! friends are just like a miracle that comes in through our lives and most of the time it is unplanned! i am glad you found a life long friend even at work. i think it's easier to find friends in school than in work from my experience though :D

Hi, enciel, I think I prefer to spend most time with one or two my close friends. But I think I will get along with all of them genuinely, because trust and honest is the base of friendship.
