Count your friends

Most of my friends have come and gone. Some have come back after a period of "writing me off". Some have grown frustrated with my crazy self and have cooled. No friend will do "anything" for me, but many have certainly put themselves out to help in specific areas, as I have.

As of now, I have two "best" friends; one, who visits weekly and helps with many things, but almost never does anything social with me. The other, who is without a car and lives with his aging mom, goes to many a movie, dinner, or gay gathering up to about 10:00 or 11:00 PM, then must be taken home, where his mom unlocks the door. Both are in their forties.

I long for a more complete friendship with someone, but at 57, broke and struggling to keep healthy, I am not optimistic.

Get an illness and you really see who your friends are. My BFF was the only one that offered any words or actions on my behalf. All others are just people I know.

Dayummm!!!! I'd chose him too

You're all dismissed.

I've had different friends at different times in my life, high school, college, the military, graduate school and at different phases in my career. The bonds that once were strong have been broken by both time and distance. Now, I would say three.

Same tally here. It used to be three, but last summer, the fellow who had been my best friend since I was 20 years old died of brain cancer. When I was seeing him for what I knew was the last time (we lived far apart), I said to him, "I can't imagine my life without you." I still have difficulty imagining it.

After he was dead, I made a list of my remaining friends. There were two who plainly belonged on the list for life, and then quite a few others with whom I considered myself to have an enduring bond, though of a less firm sort. It takes special circumstances and experiences for a friend to make it on to that short list. I don't expect ever to add anyone to the two who remain.

I do not add strangers to my "Friends" list.

You've set the bar awfully high.

Two, I think.

Just try to forget the part where they started hating each other.

Build a thousand bridges and suck a cock. You'll always be known as a cocksucker lol

Sometimes I pretend to be normal. But it gets boring after a while, so I go back to being me.

actually I have quite a few. I was always the one people went to for advice and they have pretty much stuck with me over the years. It is sad that I more friends that I consider real family instead of my REAL family. (and I'm not on bad terms with any of my family)

No friends a few people I say hi too but that is about it, was not allowed to have any growing up and never learned the skill of making true friends so I stay to my self.

Funny I should come across this thread today! I have 6 "friends" who I hang around with a lot. These friends are the ones I turn to, the ones I would do anything for. The ones I travel to their houses for a cup of tea and a chat or for drinks before a night out. The ones who never call to my house. The ones who only contact me when they need a lift or they are fighting with their significant others. The ones who this past week never mentioned that my birthday was last Wednesday, till they seen it on Facebook! The ones who haven't contacted me since last Wednesday when they said they would let me know if they were coming to my house for birthday drinks. The ones who I am now fucked off with big style. A girl I met at a festival last year and who came to my 30th last year, and haven't really been out with since but we text on and off, text me 2 weeks before to ask did I want to go for a drink for my birthday! If a so called acquaintance can make the effort, then why not friends?! So long story short my only true friend is mrs_average!!!

I think the question will always result in a lesser number for guys than girls!

When I'm in a relationship, I tend to exclude everyone else in my pursuit of conjugal bliss - it's a hard habit to break, but I've gotten better.

I've got several people who I'd term friends who would do something, but not "anything" for me.

I've got a couple of acquaintances who'd do literally anything for me - & have proved it when I needed help most [ and God that make me rabidly loyal to them]. I can count on them even if I don't talk to them for years.

I don't know where that sits with any definition.

Friendship means the world to me, and many people have drifted out of my life that I thought were friends, so I created a Relationship Ladder with standards that people have to meet to be considered my friend. It is pretty dorky, I know. So far nobody has met my "Friend" requirements, and they aren't unreasonable.
