This does not include work friends.

I will begin, i have: 0

Making friends is quite hard, when you dont socialise in those circles. Im not a big drinker, so that rules out a large proportion of people im missing out on meeting. Making new friends is easy when you are young but now its more challenging. Thats enough about me for this post.

I would never wish this on anyone.
I also think because im not white, it hinders me. Funny how some would never have a black friend or partner. Somehow they always think less of my skin colour or hair.

I don't have any friends, just aqaintences outside of work. I would like a couple of friends I can hang out with a couple times a week and still have some evenings to myself.

Hmm, kinda hard to say exactly. Counting from people that I actually hang out with lately - about 3 or 4. At this point I wouldn't mind hanging out again with some people that I completely ignored while things got really bad.

Well about 3-4 people I could call and they wouldn't mind hanging out with me but they're not at all close enough to talk about anything personal.

I like to try to keep some positive attitude about my situation. Technically, I have about 5 to 10 friends, it's tough to say cuz I struggled to establish good connections when I was around them. I haven't hung out with these people in 5 years, but I still call them friends sometimes. If anyone asked me if I was friends with so and so, I'd say I was and that we hadn't talked forever.

I have quite a few friends who I just hang out with from time to time. I only have 2 best friends who are very very close to me that I can tell pretty much anything to.

At this point, maybe one...I don't know. I've known her since junior high and we do share some problems with each other but we're still not close friends. There are often awkward silences and I only see her during summer or winter break.

Man that reminds me of my ex-roommate last year who was the only girl I ever considered a friend because we shared the same sarcastic humor and could tell each other anything, but then drama happened with my other roommate and she took her side. :[ Well just had to get that out, I still miss her.

I have a few friends and acquaintances. I have lots of friends at work and am quite sociable.

However I don't have really close friends that I hang out with every weekend, although I would very much like to. Mates who are into sports and drinking at the pubs. I am not really a nightclub person.

When I was young and moody, I used to think that I didn't need other people in my life. I have come to the realisation in the last couple of years that I do.

I'm not sure. I have one I met before highschool, which I talk to (over MSN) once every two months or so. There's my boyfriend. And then there's all the people I know exclusively online (this site included).

I have some real good friends on here, or people whom I dearly care for anyway. I don't know if it's mutual for all of them.

According to my Facebook I have over 250 friends. There was a brief window in my life when I made friends relatively easy and am fortunate to know a lot of friendly people. Unfortunately due to the nature of where I live and the kind of work I do, people leave my life pretty quickly.

So while it is great to have an extended network of friends around the globe, now that my anxiety issues have come back en force I'm not making friends to replace those that leave town.
