To be honest I find it hard to distinguish between friends and acquaintances. I find I have a few people in between that boundary - probably leaning more towards friends but still not close as we could be.
I would say I have 3-4 people I classify as actual friends. and then a circle of like 10-12 other people I hang out with on different weeks.
But recently that's all gone down the pan... I'm working to fight this though and I have improved a little.

I suppose I am the same as this.... I'm not very good at staying in contact with people, I always wait till they initiate a get together, when really I should be feeding some of my input too. I have a lot of acquaintances, that could potentially be my friends, but I just don't bother trying to get close to them....

Keep in mind that a person does not make friends from one day to the next. Any relationship takes time and work to establish. I have very few friends, but I believe in quality versus quantity.

Define friend. Real friends: 0. 'Contacts': A few but i haven't spoke to them in months & months.

I would never wish this on anyone.
I also think because im not white, it hinders me. Funny how some would never have a black friend or partner. Somehow they always think less of my skin colour or hair.

i dont really think being black or white has anything to do with it(well depending on his country thou.) because I'm black and i'v a couple of friends actually but they are not close friends just hello/hi friends
 
I think I have a few of what you referred to as "work" friends- coworkers that I get along pretty well with, but don't see or talk to outside of work, besides the occasional trek to IHOP when the shift is over. I also have a few online friends (that I met here) that I keep in touch with through Facebook or email. Other than that, I have 0 friends- I don't hang out, talk on the phone with, or text anyone. I may as well not exist.

None because I don't make an effort to keep the ones I had. I just let them go after a while because I never contact anyone and after they get tired of me never answering my phone, they stop trying. At the moment, nobody tries anymore and hasn't since summer.

It is tough for me making friend but I have been blessed to have 4 of the best friends anyone could ask for and an amazing girlfriend. I learned that even people have entourages of friends normally have the most drama and sometimes are the lonliest. I have acquaintances but these 4(5) people are true to me and so I feel like I can call them TRUE friends.
