At the moment I don't believe I have any friends. I have a lot of what I would call acquaintances. People I interact with because they are in my daily life. Someone to talk to while I'm in this place, you know. I have people I interact with for personal gain (quite a few).
I like to talk to people online. People bore me and it's easy online to switch from one tab to the next. Because I don't hate communication with others. I just get tired of it easier in real life.
That being said I have had "friends" in the past and people outside my family that have cared about me. (in my adulthood, I never had any friends what so ever in my childhood/teenage years). I am not interested in friendships in real life at the moment.
So do you have any friends? How many?
Yes i have friends. they are people who i have been knowing for an year before i even start to really talk with them. until they feel more familiar i only exchange as few words as possible. i do not trust other people to be genuine or that their personality wont frustrate me, so i need time to understand them first. but i do this naturally, i do not examine them intentionally or anything, it just happens.
my friends have a tendency to be careless are very loose, but loyal to a closed group of people. i dare say they are also quite bright.
if i didnt my find friends when i did, i would go down hill.
how many, well i guess 7. i know for a solid 3 they are in the 'inner circle' of my friendship definition. the others have potential so to speak. one of them i have not seen in over an year thought. should go visit him, but i get lazy each time
overall friends can be something of great value, if picked correctly.
