I had loads of school friends, who I never hanged round with outside school at all, bar a couple on days out or birthdays. I have about 4 sort of friends and one proper close friend. Sometimes feel lonely when I hear of people having parties and stuff but I'd rather get pissed and go out and have a proper time with my real friend than several fake ones I have to get drunk to be around with in the first place
I know lots of people, there is always someone I could hang out with if I was bored. Used to kid myself these people were friends but realised lately that I actually only have a couple of real friends. I quite like it thay way though.
I'm terrible at making an effort to keep in contact with people.
This is pretty much what I was going to say, Lately I feel like a pointless waste of space so I don't want to bother my friends who are happy with any negativities from me..
when I was under 30 about 4 good friends and about 10 others who I liked the company of.
Now I am 47 I have no friends except my wife and her family, haven't had a night out "with the boys" for 10 or more years. I don't miss it though - I think its normal for people as they get older to have a smaller circle of friends, particularly men.
Three friends I see quite regularly, three ex colleagues I keep in touch with on-line and the occasional text, an ex-girlfriend I keep up to date with on Facebook, and a few on-line "friends".
I would say my two best friends are my husband and my sister so that's cheating really. Most of my socialising is with family members (and very entertaining they are too )
However if I were to have a party I'm sure I could drum up enough interest to get about 30 people, more if i let them bring their kids.
Like a lot of people have already said the older you get the less bothered you are.
