I have 1. 🥲
Does my husband count? If so, one :(
It’s kinda crazy. I’m 41 now and 10 or 15 years ago i often read that people said that they have no friend. And i thought that’s more of a joke, like people knline joke about how they wanna kill themselves or whatever, because i had multiple friend groups, and would see a lot of them almost daily.
Suddenly, people moved away, were in relationships, had kids, died or you just realized that you are not friends anymore.
I talked to my girlfriend about our wedding and she asked me who i would invite. I had to think for a bit and said, i dunno, my sister… And that’s pretty much it, since i marry my best and kind of only friend. Then she thought about it and said: my parents, and… Fuck, i don’t have any friends either, except you.
We were the same. It would have been 20 people at the most, that’s with their families. We said “fuck it” and went to the courthouse. We were going to use wedding money for a honeymoon instead, but then the 2008 crash happened and we had to use it to get by almost a year of unemployment. It’s crazy how easily one becomes isolated.
That’s not sad if you like him
Close friends that I talk to almost daily? Like 4
Friends that I talk to about once a week or more? Like 10-15
Friends that I rarely talk to, but would hang out with time permitting? Like 30. Most are co workers that I’ll go drinking with after work.
Most Popular Person on Lemmy here to flex on the rest of us, damn
(I kid, I’m just jealous of your social circle)
30?? How do you keep track of so many people ^^
0
Damn, I’m sure someone is willing to befriend you
I can confidently say 2. i can delusionally say 6.
Depending on your definition.
Probably dozens.
People I talk to daily shooting the shit? Probably 10 or so.
Many comments mention “people i talk to every day”. Is that really a common thing? Literally daily? I have a couple good friends, but definitely none I talk to daily 😅
For me it is more about being friends for many years and always having a good time when we meet. At most I chat 2-3 times a week with some.
I think I have one. I don’t think I’ll be able to get more. 😿
I have 9; 5 are uni classmates I’m on a 2-semester project with, and the other 4 are:
-A retired public-sector official old enough to be my grandmother
-A semi-retired realtor also old enough to be my grandmother
-Another realtor who used to work for the first realtor but now is an exec at another company
-His notary-public and possibly-also-CIA longtime boyfriend
All of the latter 4 are older than my parents.
Not many
Irl? Like one and a half irl friends (the second one and I vibe really well but we’re both pretty independent)
3 One of them lives abroad and the other two I see every few months.
- My friend and my wife. I’m not a disagreeable person. I have a fair few friendly acquaintances, but I’m not willing to put in the energy for more actual friends
Looking to find some more on my new instance ;)
I realize not close ones, but my partner is for sure my #1. Hard to rely on the one for everything, and social anxiety trying to make new friends as I get older is even more daunting. Lesson to the youth - take care to have friends as you age!
Never had any, I’m probably for the best given the many problems of society
