How Many True Friends Have You Got?

Former Member

When i was at school i had 2 really close mates I could talk to - In particular Beck. Now I talk to my fella about everything and cos I hardly ever see Beck, I mostly see my other close mate from school! But my old mate Beck was fab at listening, miss her alot!!!!

Well 'cos you'd trust them to respect your secrets and to respect you. If you get what I mean. I trust them so I wouldn't worry about telling them anything.

I still don't see the link with the fact that they don't judge you tbh, you can trust people at 100% and they can still judge you imo...

It's not because someone judge you that you can't trust them completly...

3 females, that i used to live with, if it had to be anyone in the world that i had to tell anyting at all to, it would be one of them

Former Member

I have 6, And around 4 others that I could trust most things with but there are some things that i jsut wouldnt risk

Former Member

Quite a lot actually, its suprising. I'm pretty open with most people. I'm quite a impulsive/heart on sleeve kind of person and i'm very trusting so i'm pretty ok with telling friends pretty much anything.

Former Member

Three. All of them are women.

Former Member

I have one true friend who I would trust with my life. Make that two, if my sister counts.

Former Member

I used to have a couple I was close to, but things have happened over the last couple of years and I don't think they care too much anymore. I tend to meet my friends in groups, theres only one or two I can talk to alone, and thats normally in lessons . I don't think I'm very easy to make friends with - I have a lot of social anxieties.

When I need to talk about something personal, I speak to my mum, or my bf.

Former Member

hmm...if im brutally honest...i'd say 2...3 at most my boyfriend being one...

Former Member

I have one true friend that i can talk about anything with and we get along so well, even though we have only known each other since october. It's like we have always been friends. I couldn't tell any of my other friends half the stuff i tell her! I'd rather have it like this to just have one true friend then lot's of people you can't trust

Former Member

3 girls and 1 lad - my boyfriend. The girls are friends from school, they're my best mates and mean the world to me.

Former Member

Probably about two or three, one of which is the wife.

I know it makes me sound sad, but I ahve other friends, I just don't know them as well yet.

Former Member

Well I dont tell any of my friends everything about myself, as I am a very private person, but I think there are probably 2 guys and 4 girls that I could tell anything to them and they would be there for me. Maybe not murder with some of them, but others probably

Sure I have some good friends, but most of the time they don't know what is going on inside my head. They don't know the version of me that I know. It's not that I'm not being myself around them because I am. Just that most of the time it seems like they don't care about knowing everything there is to know. I wish they cared enough.

That pretty much sums it up for me too.

No one really. None could keep things a secret or would want to know all the details of things. I have loads of people or want to know and say they want to help but all it is is so the know the gossip

Former Member

Three TRUE friends, and 5 or 6 regular friends. The rest I would call 'accquaintances who claim to be my friend but are really too wrapped up in themselves and their petty problems to actually give a damn'. I'm not bitter!!!

Former Member

I've got about 5 true friends at the moment, and of course my dog Bruce...
The rest are what I call "convenient" friends...

You know, not everyone can be "your" best friend, if one of your other friends is not best friends with you, he or she are probably best friends with someone else, one gool old equilibrium!!

And that's how the cookie crumbles....

Former Member

My mum and my boyfriend. That is probably it.

Former Member

I would say all of my friends are 'true' friends but theres only a few that I would dare tell anything to.

4 girls (1 of them is a family member)

2 guys (both are very very very old friends that I've known for donkeys)

The rest I'd tell a lot to but maybe not everything. xx

Former Member

Um about 8. But I'm a really trusting and open person. But yeh there's a couple guys and then girlie mates I could and have told anything. Even if they've hated it.

Former Member

i think about 4... even though I don't get to see them so often because of our different life styles and different schedules, I think each one of them will let me borrow money if a circumstance arises... i think... for me true friends are the ones I can ask to lend me some money (meaning that I feel comfortable to ask) if I ever come to that unusually difficult situation, since I hate borrowing money from anyone!

I wouldn't say I have one friend with all those qualities just different people with some of each..

About 6 really true friends, who I really care about and they really care about me.

And about ~14-18 buddies, I could casually talk about women and love etc, but not really into depth.

Former Member

Only my boyfriend actually. I don't think I could tell friends absoutley EVERYTHING. Whereas, I always seem to with him.

Former Member

I have one good friend but I don't feel like I can talk to her about anything.

Former Member

umm well nobody I would tell everything, but I have a group of close friends they just aren't <b>that</b> close

Former Member

I thought i had one in someone but it turned out not to be...I Have 1 person tho who i know if i speak to he wont say nething to no one. i have mates but i dont many "true" mates.
