I only have 1 friend really which is my boyfriend. I did have 2 other close(ish) friends who I've known for a 2 years but I'm gradually losing contact with them because keeping the friendship up exhausts me. Sometimes I find it's more hassle than it's worth to keep friendships. That said, I'm still very envious when people have a lot of friends - I know I'd never be able to keep that up though.

I am happy with just my boyfriend at the moment but I'd love to know what it's like to have a "true" friend (apart from him), not just the sort I kind of keep up for the sake of it and have very little in common with them.

For those who answered "zero," do you ever get lonely and wish you could make a friend(s)? Or do you not desire them, and don't get lonely?

The first one, no doubt. I can't stand this loneliness, but I guess this is how I'll always be...

I'm terrified of people but they're kind of a requirement for living outside of my bedroom...
I'm okay without them right now; because I'm scared of people in general.
Once I step outside of my safe place and start working and living again, I suppose I'll feel like I must make friends out of necessity.
I'd like to just be kind to everyone equally; if someone calls me a friend, then that's okay.

Depends what do you mean with the word "friends".
If you mean people with go out friday or saturday night, I have somebody.
If you mean people to confide your secret and to share emotions, no i have nobody.

Zero. And considering my current job is giving me little prospects of meeting a partner, I believe I would be lonely for a long time to come *lets out an augish screammm* So unhappy, nothing to look forward to ever, that sums up my life.
