What does it really feel like to have a big friend group—is it fun?

what is considered a big friend group to you? 10+ people?

in my immediate friend group, there is about, i think, 11 of us (that would be including myself). 2 of those live out of state but we frequently hang out online when we can.

it is pretty fun. when we hang out, if some friends can't make it, it's a pretty decent amount of people to hang out with still. but sometimes we split into groups because having a conversation with more than 4 people can be hard. unless we are playing a game. i think rarely we are all hanging out together. it depends on who is available.

so, all in all, you can choose who you want to talk to and still feel included in a big friend group. it can get overwhelming because you have to split your time if you really want to catch up with ALL of them.

It can be exhausting having to knock back invites to every little thing they do. I have been invited to three different events this Saturday night alone, but I have to work on Sunday.

From high school until I was about 40 and there was 10 to 12 maybe 14 people in our group and we would all hang out we would do things on the weekends at night after work just I mean all the time and yes it was a blast it was a lot of fun

And then one by one everybody starts their own life can find some new friend or a boyfriend or a girlfriend and it whittles down

Everybody is still in contact here and there not all together as we were but we have gotten together before but for somebody's funeral LOL which was no good but it happens

When you find the right person that you're supposed to be with are that makes your boat float and treat you right makes you laugh can take care of you and you just enjoy life together it's basically the same thing

the "biggest" group of close friends I have... that would be four of us, which doesn't really feel that big.. is it fun? sure... lol

but even two people can have a lot of fun, so not sure what you mean by that...

as for larger groups of friends that are not so close... could be the sports friends... who can go up to 12 to 20 sometimes, and that's a lot of fun, of course...

but, there are a whole lot of factors involved... and, I think the most important that thing is that the friendships are genuine and not forced...

I don’t like it and I have my reasons for it. It’s fake and everybody turns on you after a while and the women get their ass kissed just to have them in the group and they Take advantage of the men In this group, I really don’t know them. Well they’re mostly Spanish. It’s not like we have a lot in common but I remember when the wine girl broke up with her husband. She started coming after me hard and she looked good, but she wants me to make all the moves. Forget that and I have to stay in the group just for that

I haven't had a big friend group ever, but I'd assume it is.

I used to have a large friend group, but it is challenging to g=have enough time for each of them. It was fun for a while, but I got tired of it and eventually ended up spending very little time with anyone. Now I only hang out with a few people, but it is only occasionally. Most of the time I'd rather not be around anyone.

Friends know you when you're the top bitch. If you're unlucky and you need help of a friend, it's very likely you won't find a friend in this time.

Its sucks because eventually you will be dealing with people not liking eachother within the group and that can totally kill the vibe as a group.

I dont see how big groups can stay together without being devided

Whew man, seems exhausting.. I mean I had a sort of big "friend" group at work, and it was fun but that was in little bits, but most of them aren't your real friends, just people to hang out with..

ShellyB · Answer

It is fun and also can be a lot of drama, there is always something going on, there can be rivalries or jealousy also tho. JMO!

I used to have a lot more friends than I do now, It really was fun and it seemed like I was always doing something with somebody.

Staximus · Answer

It’s quite exhausting at times. Thankfully most of my friends are married with children now and don’t want to party all the time

A few good friends are enough. No need more friends.

AngryCarl3 · Answer

Yes it's awesome. Don't take friends for granted, you will miss them when they're gone.

I think it would be fun, but I prefer a small group of close friends.
