That’s a pretty low bar for true friends lol. By that criteria I have about 3, maybe 4
Just curious how many true friends everyone here has
Definition of true friends vary a lot depending on who you ask, but for the purpose of this thread
The following do NOT count as true friends
-Family members, spouses. So that includes parents, cousins, wives, husbands, children etc. I know they can be considered true friends but for this poll i count them as family rather than friends
-Co-workers - Unless you spend time with them a lot and talk to them outside of work settings, i treat them as co-workers
-Acquaintances - Someone you might know, shake hands with, and exchange small talk with if you bump into them is more of an acquaintance than true friend
-Online friends you have never met irl
True friends that are to be included in your poll choice are
-People you have known for a decent period of time, at least a few months, preferably years
-People that like you and you like them back and talk regularly
-People you spend time with frequently, daily, weekly, monthly at least. Or every few months if they live far away
-People you can ring up to talk or hang out without it feeling awkward
How many true friends do you have that tick at least most of the below criteria?
A few is all you needJust a few.

Quality over quantity
Yeah I have a few friends that moved cities which sucks because we rarely see eachotherI have 1 that lives near me, been my friend for over 30 years, I have 1 in California, 1 in New Mexico, 1 in Nepal (he's from Maine) he'll be in Nepal for 2 years.
I have a couple in Maine, but I don't get to see any them very often.
The ine that's close I spend every Saturday with to watch fights and shit.

Grateful I have some that live nearby and have similar interests and hobbies like ufc and lifting weights etc
Yeah I had a people i considered good friends go down that road, some even ended up in prison for it. Its good that you separated yourself from those type of crowdsNone. When i was a kid i had a few "best friends" Then they moved out of state, or they got into drugs. I didn't want to be a fucking drug addict loser so i did my own thing. I like to consider these friends "acquaintances" nothing more.
i am sorry to hear that. Losing close friends by drifting apart is terrible, but death is unimaginably bad. My condolenscesNot many true friends left. A couple of my close friends died and the rest drifted apart.
Yeah i have a few i see like once a year or 6 months, with the last time being their bucks party and wedding coming soon, and we just pick up where we left off.I have about 3-5 people that I can pick up where I left off and talk to them regardless of time passed, or hang out but at this point we all have very separate lives and often go long times without seeing eachother.
3 is ideal imo. Once it gets more than that it gets too hard to keep up with them all3 for me. It would have been 4 but he moved to Toronto and no fall outs but hard to keep in touch and we became distant.
Nice!I'd say 4 for me.
