Well, actually, we all do. Where would we be without our friends? They help us celebrate the good times and they commiserate with us over the bad times. A true friend isn't afraid to tell you when you've overstepped the mark or been a bit of an idiot. Real friends accept us for what we are - flaws included. Families, of course, can do the same but the difference is that we can choose our friends whilst we're stuck with our familes!

There are some so-called 'friends' I don't miss at all

Right now the best friend I have is a friend online . We call each other and talk talk talk. I know if I ever need someone to talk to about anything all I have to do is call her.

I don't think anyone has more than 2-3 really close friends - the rest are more like acquaintances

I do like my close friends, but over the years I have learned so many people are out for themselves and really don't care about others much. I have a lot of acquaintances and old work friends, but only a few true friends I really love and trust.

False friends will reveal their true colours over time whereas true friends stay true

I definitely need my friends. They are the family I choose for myself.
