How serious are you with it? How many people (friends) do you interact with most often/daily
 
1-5 for me. I prefer my friends very close.
 
I talk to/hang out with about 8 people almost every day.
 
Like... 10-15 or something I guess

Really really close friends probably like 3-5

And no, I didn't include online lol
 
What a confusing poll... I have a reasonable circle of good friends.
 
I have 4 friends that I see often enough to be considered "close". Hopefully more soon.
 
I have a group of 10 or so friends that I consider to be very close. I see a lot of people on a regular basis, however, sometimes through the close group.

I also interact with over 21 people daily at work. I'm special.

Uh, ok? Reasonable is an objective term on this subject. What's so confusing, how many people you consider your friends do you interact with. IRL.
 
6-10 people that I see every day but I have a ton of friends that I generally see mostly on the weekends
 
1-5. I know maybe 20 people in this town and I semi-regularly hang out with one dude from my class last year cause he lives two houses down the road, but there's a group of people that comes included with him. So 1-5, yeah. Back where I used to live it'd... probably be about the same. I am not what you'd call a social animal.

Group of about ten that I do things with and would consider good friends. 2 really really good friends. Like tell them everything friends.

Oooh look at me I'm Ennui I'm so popular and my dick is bigger than Pitz's, ooooh.

That's what you say.
 
School/Work count?

Our grade sticks together pretty well, I'd have to count like 3/4ths of it...
 
The two is part of the ten. Well one is. Also be nice to my font tags D:
 
21+ friends
~10 close friends
3 inner circle
 
I'd say I have one true friend. Three/four others I would consider friends if I reeeaaally stretched it. Everyone else, wouldn't miss them. I recently cut contact with around a dozen "friends", I plan to do more. Don't bother with a social life these days because of the general disgust most people make me feel, and my current situations are highly unfavourable to a healthy social life.
 
Social life? Psh. I sit in my room and brood.

And interact is a euphemism for...


:awesome:
 
I'm a damn recluse tbh. Hang out with one of my buddies about 1-3 times a week on a regular basis, and then see a long time old friend about once or twice a month when neither of us are busy with shit, once in a blue moon I'll go out with a group to a party or something. But if the party doesn't consist of 50% people I know, you can bet I won't like it.
 
About six or seven close friends I guess. I don't see anyone every day though; I live in the middle of nowhere.
 
I have a ton of aquaintances I speak to irl, but very few close friends.

I tend to keep my friendships exclusive, especially with those whom I haven't known for very long.
 
I've had hundreds of acquaintances and dozens of close friends over the years, and moved to 6 different residences, leaving that all behind.


Just realized I haven't had any friends since I quit smoking pot. Hmmm

Is it because weed is peace, or is it the pot heads unite, or am I just an asshole that hates everyone when I'm not high.

Lol when I'm drunk - I love you guys man ;_;

Depends really. Were you the one who usually supplies the weed? If so, then they were not your friends. They were merely parasites pretending to be your friends.
 
nah, lol, I might have supplied it 5 times out of 10,000. For some reason, everyone always wanted to get me high. That's probably most of the reason I even did it, I could never turn down a free buzz. (EDIT - And why would I want to?)

I kinda did the same with deleting screen names of people I just don't like anymore. Although I don't really feel "disgust" toward anyone unless they (1) make me feel uncomfortable, (2) are just using me for something but everyone else likes them, or (3) really deserve it -- this includes a special group that I call the "self-proclaimed whores."

Example of (2): There's this one girl who contacts me maybe once or twice a semester, and it's always to borrow my old school notes and work since I'm a semester ahead of her in classes. She always uses this annoying tone in her voice that can best be described as needy. Last night she IM'ed me saying she had my stuff to return from borrowing it last semester, and to ask to borrow some other notes. I just told her, "No I think I'll just hold onto my stuff" except with an excuse in there to not make it sound mean. The next day, I realized she never offered to give me back my other stuff after I said I couldn't give her more notes.

Example of (1): There's this guy who's nice, but he does this thing I like to call "away message stalking." Like he usually doesn't IM me under normal non-away conditions, but I put up an away message and he swoops in and comments to it as if I had intended to converse it directly to him, hence the "away message" part. Then I realized that he was also setting himself to invisible so he can see me but I can't see him, hence the "stalking." Then I found out that he only has two people on his buddy list: me and a high school teacher. Put those together, and it's like this dude is just sitting there watching my away messages. He always gives me nice gifts which I'm not rude enough to say "no" to, but they make me uncomfortable.

Anyways, I've narrowed it down to one really good friend I hang out with all the time. Whenever we need to walk to the store at night but don't want to face the crazy hobos on the street alone, we've got each other's backs. There are a couple other people I would hesitantly consider friends. When they're actually around, it's great. But then they had to go and turn flaky on me.
 
It's easy to become friends with other people who smoke weed if you do, not because they want to smoke your weed but just because that's the way the culture works (if you smoke you're chill, people like smoking with other chill people, etc). I know I've made tons of friends through weed, mostly just running into people I don't know while smoking and ending up smoking with them / exchanging numbers.

This is why I never got into the text msging scene.
People tend to get on my f**king nerves more than they do provide laughter and support, so unless I need a text service plan for business reasons, I never really cared about texting or IM.
My cell phone is extremely simple and "unconnected". LOL

Ironically though, HL2.net is the closest I've ever come to online social networking.
I tend to make good friends/aquaintances with whomever I meet irl because of my laid back personality, and unlike here, I usually keep to myself unless someone asks for my opinion on a certain matter. (In which case, I'm usually too blunt for my own good)
Other than that however, I never go out of my way to make new friends. Too mush hassle.
 
I kinda wish I had a relationship as close as the two leads in Superbad. Through grade school, I did a little bit of social group swapping until I found people who shared the most in common with me I guess. And that didn't happen until about sophomore year in high school (due to a few moves during middle school, etc.). So there really hasn't been enough time to really become that close with one or two people. Or maybe it's because I maybe detach myself just enough, so I don't get too hurt if shit goes awry. I dunno.
 
Yeah drugs! This one time I was very quite drunk, and me and my two buddies went to the supermarket. And there was this guy there, who was stoned as, and we talked to him for about an hour, just wandering around the supermarket, buying stuff when we were hungry, and at one point all sitting in the freezers with the frozen chips and shit to see what would happen. And then we left, and I thought we'd never see him again, but it turned out he was the brother of a girl from my Intermediate school. Inorite? Good times.
 
I have a pretty tight central group of friends both from home and at uni, probably 4-5 people in each group total, although they all know each other. I have pretty awesome friends, my best mate and I have been hanging since we were 3 years old (he lives behind me).
 
I've similarly got a best friend who I've known since, like birth. They're the best, man.
