This is the kind of questions I always wonder in my life.
We make a lots of friends in life, but only very few are carried forward.
I have seen very rarely friends work together. Most often people make friends at work place, and as time goes on our older friends are forgotten.
Is this the way life should be?
Please comment your thoughts.

I have had a lot good friends in my life but unfurtunately I don't have none of them with right now because I move out of country, I did all what I can do for them and I think they were good friends with me too.We still keep in touch,and I still appreciate them but for me my friends right now are my husband,son,mother, and father.

What is a friend? I would say that it is someone who,when you are in trouble will be there to help however they can. Or if you need an ear to vent in they will be there. I have three or four of these type of friends. One is from high school, 50 years ago. Some are from work, from which I retired almost ten years ago and some are people I have met and befriended since I moved to my current location.

I think being a friendly person that I am, I'm able to gain friends everywhere I go. Like here in my workplace. I have many friends, most are about my age. But I still do see my old friends, friends from my student days once in a while.

I make friends at work and make good friends.
I don't have a friend that work with me by the time I started my job.
It is always making friend at work place than tagging a friend in a new job...
It is because my friends has other passion and interest when it comes to work, that is why we do not work or apply at same job.

I have made a friend or two in the workplace. Of course there are a lot more people that I really do get along with. And there are many people who I don't. Still hopefully it is more people that I am going to get along with, then there are going to make some of the harmony in the workplace. It is going to be a more comfortable, a more joyful environment and having someone that you get along with well enough does make the day a lot easier.
So yeah, a lot of the time, there is just too much time for work and not enough time for social, which is how it should be. I mean it is the workplace. Therefore, there are just many times where we have downtime and I have a nice casual chat with people. Sometimes it could lead to friendship but there are just a lot of good acquaintances in the workplace. And that is just the way that it just rolls. Plain and simple, bottom line.

I make friends in the work place. I've a homebody, as is my husband, so we really don't do much other than go to work, then come home. I do still have friends that I keep in touch with from my days at school. However, we live so far apart that I barely get to see them.
