How many GOOD friends do you have?

AmberJslimsAWAY

You know the kind, you call in the middle of the night because your car won't start, and they come get you. They are there when you need a shoulder, no matter how long you go without talking to them, you pick up where you left off.

So how many REAL, GOOD friends do you have? Men or women?

I have my best friend of 12 years, female.
I also have an ex boyfriend of mine, I can talk to him about anything and get his honest input.

I have friends but they are the only ones I feel I can count on no matter WHAT!

I would say 2
my BF I met right out of college...and another woman I met maybe 5/6 yrs ago

Only one that I can REALLY count on.....the one on the picture with me, I thought I had more....but sometimes in hard times you really see who your real friends are

3. one from High School that I don't see much anymore, one I met right after High School, and she's the one that does EVERYTHING with me, and one I met at work a few years ago, that doesn't work with me anymore. the one I met after high school is the one I count on the most.

Locally... none. There isn't anyone here that I could TRULY count on in a pinch. I am good friends with one couple who I think would be pretty close to that. They're awesome peeps. It's too bad we live 45 min. apart.

one, good friends in real life in my neck of the woods are hard to come by, makes me sad

Not including my husband I would have to say 5. Unfortunately one of them lives in Michigan. I doubt she'd come pick me up if I had a flat!

BAMFMeredith

I gotta say I have 3 of those people, and then a handful of I guess I'd say medium-good friends, if that makes sense.

My 3 GOOD friends include my boyfriend, who I can honestly say is my best friend in the world, my best girlfriend from high school who makes me crazy sometimes, but I know if I EVER needed anything, she'd be there no matter what, and then my best girlfriend from college.

I'd rather have a few amazing friends I can count on for anything, than a bunch of friends that are only there when it's convenient.

SinIsIn

Absolutely NONE!!!!

I don't have friends... I have people that I talk to... people that I "know" but none that I can count on for anything that you mentioned! LOL

I have three..........my high-school pal who I can see only once or twice a year, and we always have a blast.

my 'older' mentor friend, who helped me a LOT during my separation and divorce.

a work pal, who I hated for years, and once we started to really get to know each other, we found so much in common that it was crazy we hadn't liked each other up to that point!

galegetsthin

none.

and, boy could I use one.

AmberJslimsAWAY

none.

and, boy could I use one.

You have meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

MaritaD

Wow I have so many.......for starters my BF, I know he would do anything for me, anytime, anyday. And then I'd have to say.........6 girlfriends I know without a doubt I could count on I am so blessed!!

mslack01

Two - my ex-husband (LOL, better friend than hubby) and another guy friend

EmCarroll1990

Wow.. Come to think of it, probably just 1. There's a small group of us though, only about 6.

Actually, wait, I could probably call a few of my guy friends at any time to help me out of a sticky situation.

But really, I need new girl friends.

HungerGamesWinner

none.

and, boy could I use one.

I have 0... I have never trusted anyone that much!

billsica

I only have the internet, and the message forums. Would anyone come visit me in prison?

kb455

I'd say two. My best friend since 7th grade and my oldest sister (we're really close). I can (and do) tell them everything.

I have a lot of friends who I hang out with often, go out for drinks with or to a movie but only two that I consider really GOOD friends.

Just 1

Culturally, Germans believe that you truly only have four friends over the course of your life. Others are various levels of acquaintances.

I find this to be stunningly accurate. Then again, I'm non-committal.

5-6

JessiC1984

one. my hubby.

Shelbert79

2, met them in middle school. 20 some years strong.

ickybella

I'm going to say 3. Unfortunately, 2 of those (my mom and my brother) are on a different continent! I know they would both help me in any way possible though. My mom is always my shoulder to cry on - via email or skype - and we're all so close that sometimes when my brother can't get in contact with our mom, he calls me or sends me a text. :laugh: I joke that he's closer but sometimes it actually works and I get her to call him.

nancyv73

i am the same way. i have no friends to come to my aide...lol. I have a great family, but since I have gotten older I don't know what a true friend would be like.:ohwell:

squishycow7

If the physical distance from each other wasn't so great, this list would probably be more inclusive!
but - I'd say realistically 3, if we are including my boyfriend.

_SusieQ_

Locally, not including my hubs, I would say there are 4 I could call without hesitation that would bail me out of jail, help me change a tire, or fight zombies in the middle of the night. 2 more that aren't local, but would hop in a car or plane if I called and said, I realllly need you.

And I would do the same for any of them.

sbkelly9

none. I have people I talk to, but I wouldnt confide in them.

VonRockette

Other than obvs. my husband! I had one. But then I moved to a different country and that is that. Locally - none that "get" me or we could just hang for days on end. None that I can just be in each others presence and have a good time. It's a shame and I really miss that tight bond. It sucks.

IamRoJ

4 local, prolly 10 in the world....and about 250 virtually that I love and support with all my heart

LuckyAng

Real, honest, trust with anything and everything friends? 2.
