How many friends do you have?

Two excellent excellent friends that I see all the time and are like sisters to me. I can talk to them about everything. And one friend I don't speak to that often and is living on the other side of the world, but I know I could ring her about anything if I needed.
I push people away a lot and tend not to invest too much time in acquaintances, so I don't have that many I could just call up out of the blue- maybe 3 or 4 I would occasionally invite to stuff if they're around. There's a few people that would probably LIKE me to call them every so often, but I don't want to. Not because I don't like them or anything- I just find it exhausting managing so many people

Used to have lots while I was in school. Lucky enough to hang around with both the townies and the country lads from my own area. A good few of us all happened to end up in the same college after the LC. Sadly, most of them were only going for the craic and dropped out in first year. One of the lads completed a degree the same year as me, but I havent heard from him since leaving college, which is yonks ago now.
My closest friends were lads from around home, but as is always the case wives and girlfriends and lives get in the way. So a handful of meetings a year is about as much as I see them.
Women are way better at staying in contact and working at friendships I think. Fellas just go with the flow and it leads to dwindling numbers of friends the older you get.0 -

25. I'm really really lucky. That might seem like a ridiculously high number but I've often had people comment to me how amazing my friends are and how lucky I am to have so many true friends. I love each and every one of them so so much and they would be there for me in a heartbeat if I ever needed them. I know them from a mixture of primary and secondary school, college, work, hobbies and the Gaeltacht- and then kind of meeting the rest through those people. I've known one of the girls for 27 years, and another only about 2 years; there are 17 girls and 8 lads and I wouldn't be without any one of them.
I honestly couldn't survive if I didn't have my friends. We have had to go through so much happiness and sadness together between births, deaths, weddings, marriage breakdown of their parents, illness. Obviously there are some I'm closer to than others but for big life events or any news I have, all 25 of them would know what's going on in my life.
I know there are people who would say that you couldn't possibly have that many close friends, but I am definitely lucky beyond the point of anything that I've ever done to deserve these people in my life.
Sorry for being a soppy sap but it's lovely to be able to say all those things.
Sniff!

Not bothered about having friends really I can keep myself entertained and were all going to die alone anyway so what good will your friends be when your dead
That makes me sad. I totally agree that you should be able to entertain yourself and be comfortable just in your own company by yourself, but it makes me sad that people feel they don't need anyone. We all need people. Or at least one other person anyway.0 -

Don't be sad about it I'm not unhappy about it at all I've had a few friends in the past but we drifted apart because I never kept in contact with them
If I really need to talk to someone I can just contact a family member but its rare enough that I would need to do that0 -

This confuddles me slightly. Do we have to admit who we are on boards at these things? 0 -

Not if you don't want to
Nah, in all honesty - noone gives a flying fiddlers who anyone is. There's no crap of "oh I had a fight with you over xxx" or anything even remotely like that. Everyone just gets along and they tend to be a great laugh. If anything it's a good way of taking the whole internet thing a bit less seriously and realising it's only a form of entertainment and everyone else that's on here is pretty much the same as you. Mostly :P0 -
