Not counting people I sometimes talk to or game with, 1. She was a coworker of me at a place I used to work. We don't meet as she moved quite far away. But we do chat once and a while on FB.

Reason I put her as a friend is because we can share and talk about stuff that troubles us. There's a few 'online friends' that I can talk to too to ask advice, but nothing too personal. They're also not people who will tell me stuff.

So really only 0.5 lol

Online friends that I talk to on a daily basis: 15
Face to face friends: 3

People I know but aren't really in the friend category nor are they strangers: Tons

*side note: Has anyone ever had outgoing people you kinda know just randomly invite you to go do things? And should you actually go?

4 to 7...but I consider a few as real friends.

Online I have many...but even I wouldn't say if they are real friends because of the whole online thing.

In real life, just my sister.

I have one friend. She is the perfect friend for me because I can go 6 months to a year or two without calling and we can pick up like we never left off. She might be on the spectrum herself because I picked up mirroring from her and she doesn't judge me when I fall off the face of the earth.

As it is now there´s only one person I have just a little to do with. But we don´t see each other that often and he is a 44 year old guy so 18 years older than me.

I'd say that I have 4 or 5 friends who I communicate with regularly, but that may be being a bit generous because I'm not totally sure what defines a friend. I know a lot of people who are friendly to me, but for various reasons I wouldn't really consider them an actual friend.

As for friends who live very close by and who I could see face to face with ease, I'd actually say none at the moment.

I know not a soul in real life except my parents and doctors.

I have 2 "acquaintances" on MSN, but most days, they're not on.
