Thread: Do You Have Friends?

Another poll, I am willing to listen to your comments too :C~

I used to bartend...so I know 100's of people.

I guess it's how you define friends.

There are many kinds of friends:

(Rarest) The friend you can call when your moving or when you need to be bailed of jail. They're there for you in bad times and good. (I have 3)

Friends you can call to go out with. These are party friends, who you really can't count on in a crunch.

Weed friends...these friends only show up when they know you have weed, or beer, or whatever it is they're trying to leech off you.

Work friends...people you work in close contact with...but maybe don't want to reveal everything about your life.

I'm sure there are others.

So...SD... are you talking about a total count of all...or just the "inner circle"?

personally, I have kind of strict requirements for a relationship to be considered an actual friendship, and as a result, I am friendly with plenty of people, but have only one true friend.

Yes, I have dozens of friends out of the 300 - 400 people that I know quite well.

i would have given the poll some number ranges instead of yes/no/a few
would have been more informative

I know a lot of people but I don't have too many to talk openly.

I am on friendly terms with quite a lot of people. On my part, I am always willing to go to great lengths as long as people are honest and realistic in their request. Realistic, in that they understand the cost for me.

You pay for it? Hmmm, how much you offering?

Absolutely not

I think there are more strategic alliances than genuine freindships.

I prefer enemies.

I have friends, only a select few, about 8-10. Other than that I have people that are okay with me, people that are afraid of me, and people that hate me.

I have loads of people i say hello to and merry xmas and all that.. but i only have about 2 or maybe 3 really good friends who i know really well. It really annoys me cos everyone else has about a tonne...

You think Baldar would approve? :P

I have four friends that communicate with me all the time, and dozens of friends that I talk to every Sunday.

Hello all, im new to this... i dont have many friends, so im looking for some newones... with the same interests as me- namely science. so, im willing to speak to anyone really, why no pm me? lol. well anyway, ill see u around

Welcome.

heu thanks. So what branch of science oare you all interested in? i prefer chemistry and earth sciences, but i also have an underlying interest in physics.

I think it's more of a question of "do you think you have friends. Indeed, some of us have close relations with certain people, which we can call friendship, but you'll be surprised at how backstabbing our society is becoming

Otherwise I think I'm just feeling a little paranoid today...

I agree with you. Most friends are of the "fair-weather" variety. I have many acquaintances and contacts, but very few real friends. It's strange when you realize that you just don't click with many people on that aspect...or that they do end up backstabbing you at some point. That will take me to a whole other topic in society that I could rant on about for days.

hell yes.

I shall reveal to you my inner circle of friends, and their realtions to me.

John- friend since kidnergarten.
Kevin- friends since middle school
Steven -middle school friend
Gino - middle school friend
Shawn middle school friend
Jacob (Reffered to as Gorbachev)
Alec - friend since freshman year
Wilson - friend since freshman year.
Kelly -potential for dating, has feelings for me I don't reciprocate, friend since middle school
Amanda - potential for dating AND the girl I have feelings for, friends since my freshman year. (She's a senior and I'm a junior.)

There, the surface of my group dynamic!
