Do you have a lot of friends and are they close with you. Or are they just someone that you know.
A true friend is someone that you enjoy being with and someone that you can talk to.
A true friend will know things about you that no one else knows and you knew things about them.
It is harder when you get older to have a good friend.
Everyone needs at least one good friend in their life. Someone to do things with or just to come over to your house and talk with you.

Nah
Yvonne is my best friend, my closest friend
A true friend
I have other friends, but not close friends
As I have got older I have realised I need only one close friend,

I get less friends the older I get. I am not sure how that works. I am not young and foolish anymore, do not play me for a fool.

All of our friends moved away during the pandemic looking for work. I was working during the pandemic at Walmart so had no reason to move.
I still "talk" with them through texts but that's it.
The people around us now are acquaintances we've met in the last few years and aren't friends.
I feel like I have a lot of friends on myLot, though, even if I haven't met them in real life.

I have one friend that I have had for many years. We have daughters the same age, and her son is the same age as my sons. We have shared so much over the years...births, deaths, happiness and sadness, hard times, good times. I trust her with anything, she is one in a million. She loves my kids just like she does her own, and I am the same about hers. I have one other lady I've been friends with a long time, we are close as well, and keep in touch all the time. She isn't well at all, has a multitude of health problems, and I am afraid we will lose her. She's one of the best, too. I do have other friends of various length of friendship and closeness. Friends are important, I agree.

I have two friends I've known since junior high and high school. One is in Minnesota; and the other is in London, England. Most of my closest friends are here on MyLot. I also have some on Facebook.

You're absolutely right having even one true friend makes a big difference. As we get older, it does get harder to build deep connections, but those close friendships become even more meaningful. It’s not about how many friends you have, but the quality of the bond. Just having someone you can truly talk to and be yourself around is a gift.
