Well close-friends need more attention then an friendly co-worker i guess, to keep up ties.
My friendly coworker actually requires more attention than anyone else I know, but she's clingy. Fortunately, I've been able to almost completely pass her off to others in the office, and I don't have to deal with her anymore.
Anyway, I find that I have less problems with just one friend (who's also my partner) than I did when I had small groups of friends. I find dealing with multiple people to be exceptionally draining, and I just honestly don't have the desire to be friends with anyone else. It's not that I dislike others (most, anyway); I'm just neutral to them. I would rather spend my time and energy with my partner or doing something alone.
