Do you have many friends? Are they more virtual or in person?

Nope. I had friends from three different states.

Two schools and a college. Cut them out of my life. And in a steady way. Two girls I met in high school were very anti social and closed off. One got split up from her only bestie and the other had just moved there. I befriended them in different parts of the day and eventually introduced them. They blossomed and eventually I pulled away more and more as they grew closer to each other.

I made sure everyone was comfortable and confident in themselves and getting along with the others in friend groups I was in before I departed.

I didn’t ghost them or anything of the sort. Also those were all in person. The same was so for online friendships. For me it’s just easier to focus on myself. Especially when I need to focus on stabilizing and being responsible instead of just being irresponsible. Could I balance it? I suppose. But I’m not a big multi tasker and more of a perfectionist. Also felt like I gave more in those friend circles than I received back. Different levels of people. 💯

I have 6 friends that I've met in person. I would like to have more.

As for virtual friends, I have 3. So, no I don't have many friends.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

In my definition, buddies are not friends, and e-buddies can only be buddies as I view them physically unable to do what friends are expected to do lol. But they can be great buddies/comrades obviously.

Friends, meaning people I can count on, 24/7 for any reason, I have 5 of them

[FunkyMonkee]

Only one that comes to help me a few times a month, others that are friends but almost never show up at all. Nearly all the other friends are at the other end of some extremely long wires.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Let's say about 10 friends irl. Like people I do talk to and hang out with occasionally. A handful of friends I talk to everyday. And online also a handful who I can talk to everyday.

Like real hand in the fire kind of friends? A handful.

I wonder which category "friends you knew in person who moved away but you still hang out with often online" fit in? I have 2 friends I see in person on a regular basis, 2 I saw a regular basis and now hang out online with, and about 8 I've only ever met online (though 3 of them I went to school with, just had different friends until after we all moved to different places).

[IslaTheWitch]

most of my friends are in person... those are friendships created years ago

I have a few virtual "friends", some of them become real friends with time... some are just people I know

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I have a friend who we have been texting for 4 years, she is a virtual friend I wish I had more friends, but I don't see it happening.

[Nikki1989]

Too many really, but most live far away so I have a good excuse to skip many social engagements.

[avery58]

No, not many. I can only befriend someone I trust and I can't trust half the world.

[NathanDavis]

for those, that I would consider close and good, great friends...

there are more in them in person... around eight of them... online, a full hand

[molonski2]

There is absolutely no such thing as a virtual friend , you either have a friend or you don't , if you haven't met them , they do not exist until you do.

[exitseven]

I do not. Some have moved away and some have died. I have a picture of myself with 3 guys I grew up with. We were at the beach when we graduated from high school. I am thr only one left.

[HawkPerception]

One main friend that I chill with pretty often. I have a couple others I see maybe a couple times a year at most.

[LiamJHayden]

I have a lot of friends who live within a close drive. I have friendly acquaintances online, but to be a friend I need a deeper connection.

[AviatorTom]

Let's just say that I have many more online friends than in-person friends.

[Fireguy17]

quite a few and they are very real, and all have a pulse.

[Eleni06]

In person mostly some long distance they some live in Canada or US and some in Australia and UK. They come here yearly. Also have some all year around that live here.

[Kelly6]

@thegreenyogi Yes I have many friends but mostly in person.

[MrZameer]

I have only friends only in persons,

and I don't have many friends. I have few friends, maybe like 7, 8

[bmn1201]

I only have a few friends but we don't see each other very often.

[Staximus]

I have many from the past that I rarely see anymore, and a few that I still see regularly

[Effie1997]

I have both but tend to knew them before virtual friends.

[Light_beam]

Both.. however i tend to keep distance of all lately

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No and don't desire any neither, not today nor for the rest of my life.

[jahaims]

What do you consider many friends?

[thegreenyogi]

I don't know... perhaps more than 100?

[Nirmroth]

That would be wild, are you speaking about real friends you meet regulary or acquaintances that you follow on insta but otherwise see maybe by chance once in a while but without any effort to meet them yet still call them friends?

[jahaims]

That would make them acquaintances, not friends. It's not possible to maintain 100 friendships.

[Anonymous]

Not really, I don't trust people any more, there are lots of bad people here in the Balkans... evil people.

[Verbano]

I have more friends that I know in person; they are not so many but still a lot

[you_moms_tis]

I have a bunch of friends but most of them are online. I find it hard to make friends in person 😭

[DrPepper12]

Definitely more virtual now since my disability.

[its_amelia_c]

I only have my family :(

[Med_guy1978]

😔😔

[MK1997]

No. I dropped lot of them off. Better off alone

[paledreams]

Hmmm 🤔 I'd say a handful in both

[mandyfire98]

In person for sure

[eagle1951]
