How many true friends would you say you have?

[YourLocalSadGirly]

Personally I feel like I have 1 maybe 2 genuine friends. I know plenty more good people that I keep in touch with but I feel like only 1 or 2 people are actually there for me and will support me through almost anything. There's also a lot of people that I consider my friends that just don't talk to me very often which is one of my criteria for being a 'true' friend. I still appreciate those people but I know I can't count on them any time as they have their own busy lives that I'm not as much a part of (which is totally ok). I'm thankful for the people I have in my life but I do wish I had more than 1 or 2 true friends.

In all my entire 38 year on this earth I never had a single true friend. I had people whom I thought that were my friends, but I was too young and stupid to realize that they were just using me for favors.

None. Even your best friends will turn on you.

I used to have 5 friends, now I have 3 after a failed suicide pact... I like them, though.

I have two friends that I'm 50% sure I can rely on so: one?

None.

2 true friends, 3 acquaintances that I'm on very good terms with. I separate friends from acquaintances by a measure of loyalty, selfless helpfulness and frequency of time spent together. Having compatible social chemistry is the bare minimum, as a matter of fact.

i chose 1. im glad 2-4 has the most votes so far, even if its only for 2 at most i find it hard to believe anyone could have 10+ friends. actual good friends that know you enough and care about you! im just really shy and reserved though lol.

Out of curiosity, but what is your exact criteria for a "True" friend?
Tbh I have always had problems understanding this. I think I never had one, I mean there was a friend that I thought: "If I had a 'Best friend' it would be him". Unlucky, because our friendship fell off lol (my fault).

I'm not sure, my first thought is to say "none", but I don't know if that's completely accurate.
I've had connections before but it usually ends up one-sided either from the other person or from me.
I think there's probably 2 people who I'm completely comfortable with and trusting of, but they're so busy I don't get to talk to them much anymore sadly.
I do like that you specify, "true friend", there are many people I could refer to as a friend if I wanted to, but I don't really like or know them well enough that I actually consider them as such.

I lost my only irl "friend" because he never wanted to speak with me or do anything. I never go out so i'll probably be friendless forever lmao

same here, my only true friends were my beloved pets

My answer should be 10+. I was blessed to know a lot of good people in life. Burned too many bridges. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I suppose if you did have 10+ you wouldn't be here

 

[pelicanportal]

really worried i just lost my only one. i have never found anyone else i could trust. hope i didnt fuck this up.

 

[Lou_Charthethird]

After the point where you just make friends with everyone your age(like past age 10) ive had no real or fake friends. Just nothing.

 

[darksouls]

None. Even your best friends will turn on you.

that is the difference between animals and humans,
animals are loyal and honest

Good morning darksouls

I have several friends irl, people that if I really need help they are there. Of course it goes both ways.

I have a couple online friends.

For quadraped right now I have The Lunatic, Cindy the cat, and the neighbors 4 goats. They have no idea who owns them and I share a property line with them.
