Around how many friends do you have in your real life ? (not include mylot)....
How many of them are real friends, best friends, hi-bye friends?
What make you having so many /so few friends?
Do you have some friends which you have not contact for long time but you want to see them again ? Who are they ? Why you want to see them again?
'It seems that it is normal for a person to have different friends throughout their life, you may meet new friends at the same time you may have lost contact with others, it is sad.
Somtimes I think that it is really hard to meet new friends, and I only have few best friends. What I have are mostly hi-bye friends....
When i saw them around, i just say hi and bye, and i do not know what to talk with them, and it seems that we will not have any contact later on...

I have one friend on MyLot as my definition of "friend" is not the same .My friend here is my g/f/soul mate.Outside of MyLot,I have maybe 5 friends.These are people I would do anything for.These are the people I know would do the same for me.If I lost contact with one of them for awhile,I know when we meet again it is like no lost time.

Society is not as personal as it was in the old days. The connection we used to be able to make and it last a life time is truly rare now. Our modern world does not allow except through personal dedication for lives to be linked for any length of time. I have made a few friends since our housefire and think that they will be mine til the end of our time on earth. That is because through need we found each other and by helping each other we have formed a bond. Good luck finding a few friends that you can stay connected with.

i have very few genuine friends. It takes me a long time to trust someone enough to call them a friend. Those i have in the real life, I have known from childhood and they will last me a life time
blessed be

Yes ure right .. there are different types of friends in my friend list too ..
I have 2 best friends without whom I cannot survive .. I need to talk to them atleast once in 2 days ..I have 4 or 5 good friends whom I have contact atleast once a month .. and there are others whom I see once in 6 months or so .. some 10 such friends .. and rest all are hi and bye friends .. of whom I really dont know anything except their names ..
Making new friends and keeping in touch with them needs a lot of time and involvement which I cannot afford to give at the moment due to my daughter .. I would love to meet new people and make friends to them but as of now this is my friends list .. :)

I really didn't keep up with my friends from primary school. There is one person, who I would kind of like to see. She was my best friend for many years in primary. But we lost touch a long time ago. I know which city she lives in, and could probably find her, but am a bit nevervous as I don't know what he reaction would be?
I also only kept one friend from high school. She lives thousands of kilometres from me now, but we keep in touch via emails.
From my teaching days, I have some very close friends that I keep in touch with. There are at least 4 of them. We invite each other to our homes, go out for meals and email.
I am quite happy with this amount of friends.

I think I have become a bit of a loner because over the years I have met very few people who could be a true friend.
Just about everybody has their own agenda and when the chips are down, friendship goes right our the window..I have seen this many times in my life and people often disappoint me.
Easy,,,you might well be the only friend I have...lol..
OH boy.....Hey! over 1000 and rocking on....and 500 for you today! Congratulations, I just noticed...

actually i think that is no important that you have many friends,the important thing is you have the best friends and that best friends will help you when you in trouble,they will no tease you when you sad and they are using true heart to make friends with you,i have many friens that lose the contact already.you have the best friends then this should be enough for you.lol

Offline I have about 15 friends, not all close or i meet often but still they are good friends, depending on work and things that changed in my life i see some more than the others, I don't make new friends easily and my newest friend is from at least 7 years ago, all my childhood friends are far now and I lost contact with them all, I still know many more people but they are not real friends.

this whole thing about friendship is quite overrated, dont u feel so? how many really know about true friendship? it is true, people may hav a lot of companions, boys/girls brought together by circumstances, and when its no longer a routine, it may turn into an obligation... true friendship?? not really.... to me, he or she wud hav to be a someone who u dont hav to make an effort to be with, or chat with, someone u r most comfortable with, and who shoudnt be expected to simply kill time with you until you find something or someone more important...who wudnt judge u on ur every passing thought.... and guess what? i m so lucky, i hav such a FRIEND................................:-):-)

I'm a little shy in person, which is why I like online forums. I have an easier time expressing myself in writing. I have a lot of friends, mostly hi-bye friends, yet seldom have I been the one to "break the ice." I've dated five or six different people, and only once do I recall having made the first move.
I've moved several times in my life, and I'm sorry to say that I've lost contact with almost all my friends each time. Now that I have e-mail, however, I have managed to preserve a few of my more precious friendships.
I appreciate your question. It made me think. :)

I do not call everyone I meet my friend, just because I see someone on the street does not make them a friend. A friend is someone you trust and will help you and as you would help them. There are people who are surrounded by lots of people and do not have a single friend.
I have always been lucky to have two or three vary good friends in my life and now on the internet I am blessed to have more. Real friends, not just the hi bye kind you described.

Oh I have quite a few friends around 20 that are my real friends in my life. I have many acquaintances but I do not classify them as my real friend. No I always call my friends on the weekends to see how they are going with their own life and to make sure they are ok. It is very hard to make new friends, but I understand you but maybe they feel the same way as you do about them we do not call them friends we call them in my country acquaintances.

I have quite lot of friend. Most of them is just a regular friend. I have 3-4 bestfriend-like, but not real bestfriend, because I found out that they are not reliable enough to be a bestfriend. I did tell them a secret, but a level one secret, not my top secret.
Most of My friends are my highschool friend. We still keep in touch because our job is related. And they also my friends in a non-profit organization too.
I seldom get new friend from my outer ring.

I have many friends who are more than acquaintances and I have friends who I know I can count on.I have never really counted them.Even if I don't meet them for a long time ,it doesn't change a thing between us.Some of them are my childhood buddies and some became friends in the latter part of my life.Yes,I might like meeting a few friends from my school with whom I have no contacts presently.I guess, it's just the curiosity of what's happening with their life which inspires such a desire.Even if new friends keep coming in my life ,the ones I already have will stay.
