I am anti-social so I have very very few friends. Is it strange to admit that I prefer it that way? I have a very close family, though, so I don't lack in people I care deeply about.

I've had alot of friends over the years due to my constant moving growing up a military brat. The only problem with this is I rarely got very close to people, I didn't even try after awile as I knew I wouldn't know them long. But I do still keep in contact via Facebook with alot of them.

Even if someone isn't my friend I will try to cheer them up if they appear upset or stick up for someone who's getting bullied or beat up just becuase I hate suffering, I like seeing people happy. So I would go far for the few who are close to me, as I try to for those I dont even know.

That's a very admirable quality and I for one commend you for it.

Thank you. The way I see it is what if I was in their shoes? I would want the help too.

I'm kind of the opposite. i also have a very close family, but I've also got scores of friends. Every group i've been involved with has had hundreds of members, including my high school, the local theatre community, the choir I was in for 10 years, and my place of work. As such, I've been able to meet tons of people, many of which I'm happy to be able to call my friends. Even Priestly!

Not really. I'm pretty much the exact same way.

I don't think we introverts are all that uncommon.

That sounds absolutely exhausting to me.  My husband is much like you, however; I let him be social for the both of us!

Cop flack from recent events resulting in losing friends, post thread about friendship. No, this didn't just randomly cross your mind at all.

Wow, I don't know how you can stomach being in a relationship - I can't stay in the company of people for more than a few days at most before I start getting irritable and itching for solitude, nevermind being in a full-blown relationship with someone.

I've been married close to 20 years, and have four children to boot.  The thing is, he gives me the space I need.  I honestly never expected to get married when I was younger; it works, though.

...no one has made a "friendship is magic" comment in four pages? That is so weaksauce.

I rather not discuss what friendship is to me here. I'll ramble and it'll get weirdly personal. Best to avoid.

Friend means someone who'll stick with you through thick and thin. And someone who'll tell you when you're wrong when everyone knows it but don't have the heart to tell you.

Friendship to me is magic. It's a mystery as to how it happens, but when it happens, it's like fireworks in a moonlit sky.

How far will I go for friendship? As far as it'll take me.

Never be quick to call someone a friend, or you will be hurt and regret it. This is why I only have a very select few friends. Though maybe this is something we must all go through....

Me and my mate Shag have done everything together, friendship is a big dirty grin springing to your lips whenever danger is near because you know that your sword brother shall sit and feast beside you in the hall of the slain if you should fall. The warmth of companionship and the bonds of spilled blood shall stave off the cold of the fimbul winter itself.

I prefer **** buddies.

I quoted Twilight Sparkle in the third post in this thread.

I quoted Eminem, isn't that close enough?

I have to second this

Friendship means trust, being able to be myself, someone who tells me the truth when I mess up, support in bad times, sharing laughers and much more.

A friendship grows with the time. I wouldn't call everyone from one moment to the other my friend. But I like people and I love to get to know people and when a friendship starts out of it, then it's even better

When I was younger I had plenty of friends, that changed when I had my own family, because I didn't have the time to see them that often anymore.

Also sometimes life changes and people are changing, include me...so sometimes a friendship changes, too. Which doesn't mean you hate each other, but you might realize that your lifes/interests take different directions and one day you just don't have anything to say to each other anymore.

One of my best friends I know for more than 30 years, another almost 25 years. Even so we don't see each so often. We still are close friends

Oh, excuse my English, please. It's not my native language
