How many close friends you have?

[SunnyRS]

How many do you have in real life or people you consider close friends online with whom you can share anything, talk about anything without reservation?
I don't think I have such good friends, I make colleagues but have never felt comfortable to call someone a close friend with whom I can share my thoughts freely.
Do you have them and do they know everything about you?

[SomeRandomFrenchGirl]

I don't have any close friends

[SunnyRS]

I understand the feeling 😅

[SomeRandomFrenchGirl]

Can sometimes be a bit lonely

[SunnyRS]

Yeah it can be.
You get used to living on your own but sometimes it feels like you need someone to talk to.

[SomeRandomFrenchGirl]

Exactly, same as physical contact, I don't particularly enjoy it but sometimes I just need it and I go squish my dog haha

[SunnyRS]

That's a cute companion you have

[SunnyRS]

I on the other hand can't keep pets

[SomeRandomFrenchGirl]

Unfortunately he's my parents so I don't see him as often as I wished

[SomeRandomFrenchGirl]

Why not?

[SunnyRS]

No pets policy where I live

[SomeRandomFrenchGirl]

Damn

[SunnyRS]

Yeah, no issues.
But what's your dogs name?

[SomeRandomFrenchGirl]

His name is Fripon it means something like rascal

[SunnyRS]

Little rascal that's cute

[butterly248]

None lol

[SunnyRS]

I feel your pain😅😅

[butterly248]

Too much effort 😂

[SunnyRS]

Preaching to the choir🤣.
It's exhausting

[butterly248]

Especially when you have chronic insomnia and depression...

[SunnyRS]

What are you my mirror image?
For the insomnia part.

[butterly248]

Apparently so lol

[SunnyRS]

We will work through it someday.
And get a good night sleep 😴

[butterly248]

Hopefully

[SunnyRS]

Fingers crossed

I have one close friend irl and she knows about 80% of my life. And I have 3 close online friends that know a lot about me, but not as much as my irl friend.

[SunnyRS]

That's great, but no one knows about the other 20 percent.
What are you hiding? 🕵🕵

[petitedollbabee]

My partner knows 100% about me. I’m not hiding anything, but there’s just some things that even friends don’t need to know.

[SunnyRS]

Fair point, and if your partner knows then he or she is your closest friend.
Isn't it?

[petitedollbabee]

To me a friend is platonic, therefore I don’t refer to my partner as a friend.

[SunnyRS]

I guess that's alright

[DizzyDesii]

I stopped labeling people as “friends” after college. But i do still have many acquaintances who have been there for me more than anyone labeled as a friend had ever been. My acquaintanceships can go on for years. I just dont like committing to the label of “friend” because people expect me to do things for them that I simply won't do. I think I’m a good acquaintance but I know I wouldn't make a good friend. As for friendships, the longest is still ongoing for 15 years now. All the others only lasted 10 years or less. Plus a lot of my “friends” did very unfriendly things to hurt me at their lowest so I just dont really trust friendship at the end of the day. Anyone and everyone can know some of everything about me because I have nothing to hide. I’ve been an open book since like 2012.

[SunnyRS]

Knowing and staying in contact for 10+ years is still a big deal.
I cannot handle someone that long. 😅

[DizzyDesii]

There was 8 I could see myself going to bat for for many years. Kourt and I still talk but i truly think its because we eventually found out we were related. Otherwise i wouldve dropped her back in 2010 when she began fraternizing with the enemy and had to pretend i didn't exist for a bit just so she wouldn't get bullied that year too. Tan was just too good for me. She wanred everyone to live the same Christian lifestyle as her and after 9/10 years, that came to a close. I couldnt keep trying to please her. I am a Christian but not everyone abides by the same set of rules (though we probably should). Plus her sister was apart of the clique who bullied me and that sometimes brought tension. Aye was my friend for 11 years but then he got with this girl who didn't want him around other girls. That friendship ended in 2019. It took this year to reconnect and he's married with kids now. It kinda hurt to not be apart of that. Ti also dated a girl who didn't want him around others. That friendship got cut short after 4 years. But this year we rekindled and he wants to be more than friends but I don't know where i stand. Law and I were friends for 4-5 years. he's now married with kids. That friendship drifted apart due to our relationships. Dare and I were friends for like 8 years. But he couldnt accept that. He continued to push for more and I didn't want that. We lost contact due to a number change and living in different states. Pat and I were friends for like 7 years. He also wanted to be more than friends but would say the rudest things if rejected. I finally had enough of him but i hear he has kids now. Other friendships lasted maybe 5 or so years but consisted of the ultimate betrayals like them sleeping with my boyfriend. I just dont care to have friends at the end of the day. Some people i met online have been there just as much and im ok with just being acquainted cause i like not feeling obligated to hangout

[SunnyRS]

See that's why I don't deal with people much, they are bound to hurt you one way or another.
But you are very popular with your friends for staying friends for so long and some of your guy friends wanting more than friendship

[DizzyDesii]

Some of my friend girls had nothing going on in their lives relationship wise and would live through me and my relationship drama but then later on downed me for it. They’d even call me self centered But that was their choice to stick around and ask for more details. I guess since i just seek advice about my own situations rather than show interest in their lifestyles in return, it was best i just stick with acquaintances

[SunnyRS]

Fair enough I guess.
Better than giving anyone false hope

[DizzyDesii]

Yet acquaintances still get mad at me for not being there enough. And i dont even feel bad because i told them how i am from the get go. Im not looking to commit to something (job included) unless im in a relationship with someone

[SunnyRS]

I understand, people when get attached to someone even a little expect something from them.
That's just human nature.
Some people are able to control it most are not.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea you can expect but dont be surprised if i pull away after making my intentions clear. My longest acquaintanceship is going on 7 years with most others 3-5 years in

[SunnyRS]

I get you.
That's why for example you asked in one of my questions that I can share how I feel with you and I said I can't cause I don't know because I knew you were just being nice, it wasn't because you cared much, which is alright in my opinion.

[DizzyDesii]

That is not what that means at all. I dont have time to just be nice. I said you can confide in me because i do care about you. Heck i was once crushing on you (as silly as it sounds). So yes i have a genuine interest in making sure you’re feeling okay in life. I care about my acquaintances bt i can't commit to being there for them the way i am when it comes to men i have interest in or am dating. Sounds horrible but its true. Thats why the female acquaintances are always the first to hate me/be done with me

[SunnyRS]

Aww you had a crush on me.
Now you are making me blush.

[SunnyRS]

Wait had!!
Now that broke my heart😅😅

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao you already knew this. You told me it was best i didn't because you aren't about commitment or something lol

[SunnyRS]

I didn't know actually.
What you said is right that commitment is something I am not completely interested in but you having crush on me is new.
And why had?
Was it because of my sex joke?
Cause I didn't make one.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol i mean my crushes never fully go away. I just distance myself if i know its not gonna go further than i’d like

[SunnyRS]

In all honesty I am not afraid of commitment I just don't feel I have connected enough with someone to commit. (Not saying this to hit on you, I know you are taken).
But what you said made my day.

[DizzyDesii]

I’m glad it made your day. And I dont take it as you hitting on me. I’m just glad it was a positive reaction. I guess i shouldve said something before now haha

[SunnyRS]

Of course you will always get a positive reaction

[jennifer_bloom]

I don't have a lot of close friends. I push people away because I don't feel comfortable putting myself in scenarios where I can be seen and evaluated. I have people I've known nearly 30 years or more that I know can keep secrets and won't threaten my interests or my social family by outsourcing their alliances to people I dislike. The main thing that makes my friendships work is that my friends do not know my other friends and my family do not know my friends. I like to segregate my relationships from one another for damage control reasons which is why a lot of my closest friends are not on my contact list on any social media website. I do not want people to trace my social network using digital technology.

[SunnyRS]

Wow, you can make an excellent spy.
Or are you one? 🕵🕵

[Jerre]

Way more than 10, mostly girls. We know just about everything about each other, their personal lives, their sex experiences, they know everything about me and my body.

[SunnyRS]

That's good man.

[Jerre]

@SunnyRS Thank you for the Like

[Jerre]

@SunnyRS I would love for you to know more about me

[SunnyRS]

Ok, and why is that?

[Jerre]

Just to be friends

[SunnyRS]

Sure, tell me about yourself then

[Jerre]

I’m 52, single, retired, own my house on a saltwater canal in Northern Florida, has enclosed pool. I have lots of parties, good personality, 5’8”, 180 lbs

[SunnyRS]

That's good to know, Florida is a nice place I heard

[Jerre]

Question for you: are you male or female? Seems your profile changed from female to male. If you are a male, I have no interest in you.

[SunnyRS]

My profile didn't change, it was always male.
And thank you for clearing that out as I was getting a lot of mixed signals.
Cause I am not interested in men that way too.

[Jerre]

Ok, we are both on the same wave length. Have a good day!

[SunnyRS]

You too

[LavLavLuv]

Close friends probably 15?

Besties 3

[SunnyRS]

Wow you are super popular.
Rockstar🎸⭐️🎸⭐️🎸⭐️
