Do you have all the friends you want to have?

    I'm not talking about internet friends, but friends close by in your town.

    So, do you have as many friends as you would like to have?

    When I was young and going to school, I had a few friends, but now I don't have any friends, but on the other hand, I'm a loner and I don't really care. I'm not really searching for friends. I'm used to being alone and I don't feel lonely.

    I wouldn't push away anyone who would want to be friends, but I like being alone.

    I have enough friends who I call up and talk to from time to time ... and enough that I go shopping with. I have enough to eat dinner with. I have a best friend -- but honestly, I could use one really close girlfriend to tell everything to that lives right here in my home town. My best friend lives 2 hours away and its not convenient. Those are VERY hard to find!

    A man dies rich if he has one true friend after lifetime. They are rare.

    Seriously....I am having a moment where I wish I did have a friend to call. My husband and best friend is on a business trip and I wish there was someone who cared about me to talk to right now. I can't believe I used to have so many so called friends that I do not have now. I am pretty sad about it all...... :(

    To add to what I said above, it's ture that sometimes I wished there was a friend around, but since there isn't any, I became the way I am.

    Who knows, maybe I'm kidding myself and would like to have a friend or two....

    On the other hand, I like being alone.

    All that I know is that when I meet someone I know someplace, I don't want to be with them too long, so that I can be alone again....lol

    Maybe I'm ashamed of my set up, or the way my life unfolded, and I rather be alone to deal with it.....

    I have been thinking the same thing over the last few weeks. And the short answer is no. Since leaving the dubs its obviously even less, although i wouldn't really have counted any as friends more acquaintances.

    I have lots of friends/acquaintances but only a few I would consider "close friends". I don't go out on the prowl looking for friends but I'd never turn away someone I met that I clicked with because I felt I had too many friends already.

    I feel different from everyone...

    Like when you're matching socks that came out of the dryer and one doesn't match with any other sock...
