Friendships

[kika.fleur]

Do you friends all know each other and are in the same social group(s)? Or do you have friends in different groups and even friends are independent (you don't have friends, acquaintances or colleagues in common.)

Do you have friends with whom you can pick up the friendship and conversation easily even if you've not seen them for a few months or years?

Do you get to know people easily? Do you make friends easily?

 I don't have "friends" in person...lol.  I have online friends.  I have friendly relationships with most of my co-workers.  My best friend is my husband, then my daughter. 

I talk to strangers for a living, but do not form "friendships" with them.

I don't have many *friends*,
More like acquaintances .. I consider my neighbors on the street friends but not really, LOL
Meaning in an emergency .. they would be right there to help.
I don't make friends easily ::blush::

 I don't really have many friends, a few girlfriends.  I've known my best friend 20+ years.  I really don't make friends all that well.  The handful of friends I do have, while they've met each other, they're just aquaintences to each other.

I don't have any friends IRL, except for my best friend, whom I've known for 30 years now. She lives several hours away in another state, but we stay in touch almost daily through Facebook. The last time we spent together was in the summer of 2010.

Most of my friends are online, though some of them are people I know IRL. They are mostly former co-workers or pen pals. I call them friends, even though I don't spend time with them in person.

I don't really have any friends IRL. I have aquaintances..which i am trying to form friendships with. I don't make friends easily because I can be kinda shy. 

I have reformed friendships with ppl I haven't seen in years..thanks to fb, but I don't get to travel much so seeing them in person has yet to happen.

And you have a lot of online friends, too! It's wonderful that your closest friends are your husband and your daughter. That's very precious.

I don't think you need to blush because you don't make friends easily. I think what's important is that we do have the ability to form friendships. Being discerning about who we call friends is a boon in my book.

I have learned the hard way that some people may *appear* to be your friend but then they are really not,
So therefore there is that *trust* issue :)
