Seven. My wife and six friends from college I regularly talk to. I don’t talk to anyone from high school anymore or anyone from past jobs. Everyone else is family, co-workers, or just acquaintances I’m friendly with.
I don’t have friends man
None nor any female, had my daughter not a single one asked about her but wanted me to collect drugs for them back when I was a bit of a Hellion
Cut them the right the fuck out
2 proper bros and 1 love interest
Three or four but lots of transient friends who come and go due to work. The only people I know who have lots of close friends are people who still live in their home town and have friends they have known since high school.
Like 1. Barely.
Just the one, my wife.

We keep fighting a lot lately, it’s breaking my heart but I’m part of the reason we fight so much.

🙁
None
Genuine friends: around 15
Close friends: 8
I’m amongst the lucky people who were able to retain most of my schooldays-friendships and improve most of them during my (still running) 20s.
My gf is my only friend. I have zero ideas how to make other friends. People tell me that I need to join a club or something but everytime I join something I am invisible. Even at work I am invisible. To find any other community is really hard, I’m running out of interests to meet people at this point. I feel like most people managed to have friends in a mysterious way I will never know about

Maybe around ten really close ones and then about as many outside that circle.
Friends, 5
But I difference heavily between friends and acquaintances
So acquaintances would be a lot more
I’ve honestly started to wonder if I even know what friendship is lately.
-1. I hate myself most days too.
Close friends, 4
0
None, I have friendly co-workers but, I keep work life and personal life separate.
I tend to keep my circle small, but those I do have are the best people I’ve encountered over the years.
I’m not sure what you mean by true, genuine friends. But I have 2 or 3 that I feel like I could trust with just about anything. And 2 main friend groups I can mostly trust as well. But for a long time i used to have no close friends and just a superficial friend group that didn’t really care about me
During my relationship, 1. 2 at most, but without any real contact, let alone seeing eachother irl. But I am looking into getting to know people now.
In real life? 0 but online I have a few
Not counting my wife, 5.

7-10 that are actually close and genuine. Most of them don’t live close to me anymore but we’re solid even though we only see each other a few times a year.
I’m 33.
Close close friends? About 6 I’ve known since high school (4 are two pairs of brothers). These dudes know everything about me.
Acquaintances? I’ve got more like 10-12, mostly are from work or like rec sports leagues. We hang out and shoot the shit but it’s not anything too deep.
I have many good friends, I have three close friends that i consider more family than friends honestly.
One best friend outside of work, haven’t seen him for a while because of lockdown. And the rest are my co-workers.
None. I cut a lot of people out of my life. Anyone else is merely an acquaintance.
Girlfriend. That’s it. Don’t need more.
1 and that’s sometimes too manny and sometimes too few, but when I’m really honest with myself 1 is really enough
4
Super close, 0
Tight circle of good friends to play games with and hang, about 10
Friends that I can count for anything, I think I have 5 maybe, then I have 3 or 4 that are really close, and then something between 20 and 30 friends that are not that close but are still friends and people I care about
Just one. I can’t imagine the kind of hell I would have been in if that friend wasn’t there for me.
Outside of work and my wife, none. Work friends but who knows if we’ll talk when we quit.
I also have three kids.
Enough to feel safe
Non-family? My definition of friendship is drop everything and come running if they need something, do anything for them. With that criteria, five.
Zero. Tons of work acquaintances but nothing deeper than that. Just not worth the time anymore.
I have many to talk with but none to listen

I’m lucky enough to have 4 brothers for life. And I mean it. Obviously people can always surprise you but these guys have been here for years and will probably be for a long time
I have one genuine friend.
Anyone I’m close to is maybe 3 and they are very old friends, and the woman in my life.
It’s tough to level how a “friend” is, dont focus too much on the aspect of having them
One friend I’ve known for 20 years and would trust with anything any day. 3 friends that I know quite well and I’d describe as average friends. Then about 5 that may or may not actually show up for anything.
Not counting the girlfriend, I’d say 1.
I’m more surprised at how little of a shit I care tbh
