how many friends and aquaintances do you have?

Post Reply New Topic

friends as hanging out and going to the movies, etc.

That's a tough one. I don't think I have any friends, really, all the people I know are my wife's friends, I don't have any of my own. I do have some friends back in the UK, but obviously don't get to see them anymore, only speak to them on the phone every few weeks. Pretty depressing.

Interesting what you ask, though. I wonder sometimes what we mean by 'friends', more often than not it's just acquaintences, really.

id like to say 1.5 cause i only see one person id consider a friend regular. the other i see too infrequently on/offlline to count really.

total: 1

Three, although I rarely see one. I still consider him a friend though, as we've known each other since pre-school.

Lots of acquaintances. I can usually count on seeing someone I know if I go out on a weekend.

Friends, beside my wife: 0
Acquaintances who know my name: Too many to count
Acquaintances who know me only by sight: Irrelevant

Used to have many and then lost them b/c my drinking was putting me in places I didn't want to be.

Have one but have trouble just going anywhere with her espeacially when it involves clubs or anything that has too many people. It's kind of a trigger for me just to go back to my old "social" habit.

I know three people outside of school, and I rarely talk to or see any of them. I may get a phone call from one or two of them possibly once in two months, maybe once a month tops (unless there's some good reason to otherwise contact me.)
In school, I consistantly talk to one person. We're friendly and eat lunch together, but are very mellow. We talk a bit in class sometimes as well, but not too much.
In school, I sometimes get little smiles, hellos, or maybe a literal minute's (no more than three minutes, usually) worth of small talk from one to three people a day. There's no personal connection, just courtesy.

i have a couple close friends. It's always been hard for me to connect to others. Until I found about Aspergers, I had no other reason other than to blame it all on being different. I tried to blend in very hard at different times in my life. Not really any more though. I realize how things won't change socially although I've gotten a little bit better dealing with things, just accepting me for myself.

I have a handful of people I go out with occasionally, but I'm not sure I'd call any of them close friends. There are a few people in other states that I'm closer to, though our conversations are infrequent and we don't get too far into personal issues, other than maybe generally mentioning it - i.e. I've been feeling crappy, but not elaborating too much or acting like it's less serious than it is.

I have too many acquaintances to list, but most of them don't have any kind of real presence in my life.

about five people i see or talk to often. i recently found an old from middle school at the college i go to. i saw her twice and haven't seen again.

in high school i had a lot of aquaintances and some friends. a lot of those friendships dissolved after high school.

I have 1 friend right now, but he's moving across the country in a couple of weeks. I have a few antecedences that I play boardgames with, but that's it.

My friends - my Mom, my son and my boyfriend.
Not concerning the mentioned above: only a friend can betray, an enemy will never do. I prefer true enemies rather then false friends

I think more people consider me their friend than I consider them. That's only because I don't want to be presumptuous, while I think I usually come across as pretty friendly.

Though, I cant say for sure, because I can't read their boddy language anyway

acquaintances, as in people I know and see now and then but not really friends, around 5
acquaintances, that I do not personally know but see them around, a few, probably not more then 8.
friends, aside from my baby toddler son, -0-.
enemy's, at least 3.

Friends: I'd say around 5 or 6
Acquintances that I actually do occationally have a conversation with; around 10 maybe
Acquintances I simply recognize, just say hi to or just happen to be around, doesnt matter, dont care.

I recall my psych once had me map out my social circle and it was rather surprising for him cause it was quite evenly distributed. He said typical aspie social circle has either close friends and loose acquintances and not a whole lotta inbetween.

Any number higher than zero is good.
