I was always the outcast in my hall. I had one real good friend as a teenager. I had a few before I was a teenager but they drifted away and I was left with one best friend. She and I were always together as teenagers. She was friends with the other teens our age but they didn't like me. She tells me that those kids would try to pressure her to drop me as a friend. They told her I was bad association and wild. It was because I spoke my mind. I was honest to the point of painful honesty. They didn't like that I could see right through them. Plus I was part of a huge multi generation JW family that at one point ran the KH. I had uncles and a grandfather who were elders and they didn't like them. My family had a reputation.
I had another friend after I was a teenager in my early 20's that I'm still close with. I made contact with my teenage best friend last year. We had lost contact because she got married and her husband didn't like me so he made her stop talking to me. It was 12 years since we were best friends. So my 2 closest friends as a JW are still in my life. I did have another friend who was a JW but I broke off that relationship a couple of years ago when I found her to be too judemental and over bearing for me to have in my life anymore. That friend used to be my little sisters best friend. It burned my sisters ass that her former best friend stopped being friends with her and started hanging out with me.
I'm lucky because my 2 closest friends as a JW are now both out and in my life.
