I have about... 2 close friends, and... 1 or 2 other friends that I don't talk to much. Dunno if you could really consider them friends, but they were nice enough to befriend me in the first place.

Online though I have about 3 or 4. And of course you guys. :D

Though I dont like offline friends that much... They always leave, no matter close I believe they are. Rather if it's getting in a fight then never speaking again, or just gradually becoming more distant and quiet.

Lets see, there's maybe 3-5 people I talk to online

1 girl i talk to over text that lives hundreds of miles away -_-

and 2 I people I think I actually consider friends. I don't have any close friends.

oh and 6-7 *******s I have to associate with for various reasons :p

yeah offline people tend to leave for whatever reasons, that or they PISS ME OFF. Most an "offline friend" to me, just been someone who just tryied to use me. Time and time I keep being proved right on this. :|

More than a person could ask for both online and offline. There are quite a few online friends that I would love to meet up with in real life.

Lately, I've been thinking about expanding my social circle in terms of people to go out with when my usual coterie is unavailable. Normally, I only like to keep company with few people with whom I can be close, but I see the advantages of having social acquaintances.

Thanks. I admit that I'm a bit apprehensive/scared, but it's something that I really want to do and I think it will do me good in the long run.

I say, at least you try and I think you shouldn't give up.

4 online and 4 in real life
The 4 online make up 3 of the ones IRL, I dont count one even though I know him, I almost never see him. Of my real life friends theres 2 I see often, one moved off and got married, and another now has a girlfriend and it seems like hes working hard to avoid me, not mad at him, but irritated that were not working on making new music like we should

I have one amazing online friend, he's my best friend and I love him to bits n__n
I hate how he lives so far away ):
He's the only person who is ever sooo so kind to me, and he tries to understand me. He makes me feel appreciated n__n and makes me happy even if I'm in a very suicidal mood.

As for offline friends. I don't really have any of those.
I have a few accquantices I somewhat get along with who went to my old school.. now we are all split so we don't talk much. Even with them, our conversations were never serious.
We have fun when we hung out, but that's all.. fun, and it was only every 'now and then'.
They never treated me with much respect, even though I gave everything I could to try and be a good friend.
I've lost trust in them. I can't trust them at all. If I wasn't such a pushover, I would end all contact with them :/ They only want something to do with me when it suits them.

So I only have one true friend.
Someday, I'm going to go to Canada, and visit him n___n

I used to have a lot of friends online but I got bored of all that.
I have only 2 close friends IRL and only 1 other whom I'd consider to be just a friend.

Well, first time I posted on this thread I think I had like 2 real life friends. Now I would say they are no longer, sadly, I've just withdrawn too long. I have a few online friends who I am so grateful for

That's good. I used to have a few really close online friends like yours. But we all just kinda stopped talking, except for two.
And I have friends like those. They aren't real friends to be honest. They're just kids trying to have a good time.

Wait. If you have more than you could ask for why expand your social circle?

Yeah. When I had no offline friends, I confided in a few online friends and was grateful to them. I still talk to two of them.

I don't have any friends in real life. I'd say that I have four online friends, but lately I've only had the chance to talk to one of them. I'm lucky if I manage to briefly get in contact with the others once every few months. I spend almost all my waking hours online, so I wish I had a something more than this. It seems hard to imagine having a real life friend, so when I think of improving my social life, I instantly think of it in an online sense.

A little while ago, the numbers would have been far less. Faaaar, far less (well, for offline friends, anyway). But since getting back to school and getting out there a bit more... hmmm...

Online: About 9 that I talk to semi-regularly. A few of those, I've had for years...
Offline: If I were to be really picky.... about 3. If I were to be lenient, about 10X that.

In offlineworld - many acquaintences through work/classes and parents of friends of the kids. Only one or two of these would be nearing what I think of as friendship. I generally don't like to get close to people in RL, I don't know why. I have no friendships remaining from school days.

In onlineworld - a good handful of friends, all in spw and interestingly a high proportion with AvPD; online friendships seem better suited to me, maybe because its where other introverts hang out. :)

To expand my social circle. There's a difference between having close friends and people you just hang out with. Friends are friends whether you hang out with them often or not. Those are the people you keep close and a few of. Acquaintances, on the other hand are people you can meet for lunch, dinner, drinks. People who can introduce you to other people.

What's the definition of friend we are using?

I have a lot of people I just hang out with, people who are close friends, and a ton of people who are kind of in-between those two.

I have 158 facebook friends, 155 of which I've met face to face and about 50-60 that I have semi-regular live access to, and about 30ish that I see relatively often. None of these are coworkers. I tend not to add people, I let them add me, so I am missing who knows how many more people.

Of those 30ish, about 10-15 are people I see really often, like once per week or so, if not more if we have lots of stuff planned, and we are pretty good to each other.

But in terms of real good friends, I guess online I have about 3. I used to have another 3 but they are gone. In real life I have maybe 5-ish, maybe more depending on our definition.

Expanding your social circle, somehow it's never enough. I crave new friends/acquaintances like you wouldn't believe. I think it's because I'm constantly looking for more of those really good friends.
