In your real life... Are you a person of many friends?

April 7, 2017 9:16pm CST
I mean... Real friends? Not just colleagues who most like to commonly call friends (by some sort of convenience perhaps). Well, I have many colleagues (To go to the movies, to go to parties, to go to restaurants, to go to the beach...) but... Real friends (to which I tell my problems and ask for advice) I count on the fingers of my two hands. How about you, folks?

I have very few real friends and even fewer that is would tell my problems to. I learned overtime there are few people you are trust with what you tell them.

@TheInvisibleMan I couldn´t cope with more. Good friends mean energy from both ends.

I don't have colleagues as i dont work. Or school mates as i dont go to school. But i have tons of people on facebook.. but in reality i have maybe 5 people i can really talk to. Without judgement or secrets being told to others.. make it 2 .. lol

I don't think I have many friends. Actually I deleted some because I don't think they are my true friends. I no longer want to be used.

I have lots of friends, even plenty more of acquaintance. But I have only one best friend.

I know many people . . . and I guess I casually call them "friends". But friends whom I consider to be very close are hard to come by . . . there are very few of them.

@much2say You have to know how to separate colleagues from friends.

Some of my real friends are living abroad now. But I considered my family as real friends. When I was still working in my previous jobs, I tend to be a social butterfly.

@TheInvisibleMan I trusted my virtual friends and family. I do mingle with casual friends but it is not that special.

@Lupita234 I think most of us can always cling on to our family.

Thats well said,i feel there are levels of understanding among people,the one who understands the most remains close to heart and the one who don't wish to understand they remain close for the sake of being,so you are apt and i do so but there are few in numbers such people.

I have so many friends who always speak with me. But only two of them are close to my heart and always care about me. I usually spend most of the time with them.

@Lupita234 I would rather have one true friend rather than 10 or a group of friends who will only stick with me in my happiness. :-)

When I was in high school, I used to have a lot of friends and now I have none. I can still count on those people but there's been such a wide gap between our friendship, it just becomes awkward.
