Four friends, two of them online, one of those I've met in person once, the other two live 45 mins to an hour away, and a few acquaintances. I have only hung out with my friends on 3 occasions in the last 8 months so I spend most of my time alone and just talk to them online/whatsapp or occasionally on the phone.

1 right now. Unfortunately we don't have very much in common, but she lives on my block.

None. I don't go looking to meet new people and I don't keep in touch. I have loved ones and acquaintances. I don't have friends.

I would say I have two really good friends. One of them lives nearby and the other is someone in a different country I met through the internet. I have a couple of acquaintances too, but I'm not really close with them in the way that I am with my two friends.

One.

He shares my name, DOB, ethnicity, nationality, height, weight, eye colour, hair colour + style, shoe size, blood type, interests, qualifications.....

What a coincidence, huh? :mrgreen:

IRL, just 2.

But much of the time it feels like none.

I dont really get included in things very much and they rarely talk to me. What makes it worse is that there's no shared interests at all between me and them. There isnt anything to talk about.

And thus, I get ever more reclusive and negative as this goes on.

Irritating.

Family I actually care about - 3

People I know - 10 or so

People I like not related - 4

People that annoy me but keep bugging me - 2 or 3

True Friends - 0

I don't talk to many people and I don't really consider anyone I know a friend, most don't care if I live or die.

I have 2 who are not family.

I haven't seen 1 of them for about 6 months though, he has a child and stuff, boring.

I put 3-5 because I don't know very well where to draw the line. I suppose I have many acquaintances (because of my job), but the ones I actually bother to hang out with are about 10. Very few know very personal stuff about me, though, so I guess there's only 3 or 4 I would actually call friends.

I have four or five real life people who aren't related to me that are close friends and I could call on in almost any crisis. I have 399 FB friends but I friend acquaintances and people from my past as well. I also friend people who are friends of friends and live in town. I don't talk to all of them.
