Poll: Best friends

[Samcanuck]

Now that you have responded to the poll question, I am wondering what your philosophy on friendship is...especially the idea of best friends? What are best friends to you, what purpose do they serve and what meaning are they to your life? How has friendship effected your life and what would you like others to learn from your life? Has the concept of friendship changed throughout your life, and how?

I used to have a group of four best friends...but throughout high school, they've all turned into back stabbing bitches.

So I only have one that I really call a "best friend" now.

I think Best Friends are people who you can insult as much as you like but will laugh and still invite you round there house for biscuits and games of Medievil Total War.

I only really get acquaintances. Trust issues...

I've noticed that some friends who are very close eventually drift apart while others stay together no matter where life takes you. A truly good friend is someone in whom you can confide, who is willing to tell you that you have a booger on the end of your nose, who can laugh with you, cry with you, and someone with whom you hold mutual accountability.

I'd say that I have 2 best friends in real life, which I share a lot of interests with. Nothing like playing some versus FPS games with those 2.

I have a lot of trust issues, but I have a large group of friends. The only reason why I consider them "friends" and not "acquaintances" is that I hang out with them on a daily basis, and I've told them a few things about me that I don't tell people I hang out with at college.

Currently, I'd say I have a large group of friends, with aquaintances who I also know.

So far, it seems to be a pretty good system for me.

I had 1 best friend at my school, then I moved. Now I only have Acquaintances, but keep in touch with him.

Honestly, the only reason that I don't consider anyone a friend is I think to count someone as a friend, you have to trust them. Considering I don't trust anyone, acquaintances all the way.

I have one great best friend but he lives about 200 miles away from me. We still talk and all but it still sucks.

At school, I only have an acquaintance. I would like to consider him a friend, but he'd prefer acquaintance. Whatever.

 

[R4ptur3]

Small group of best friends. If everyone actually comes out at the same time (which rarely happens) we equal about 8. also have quite a lot of other friends, but not in a group as such.

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

I have a good number of friends, but there are two who I would consider to be my best friends.

 

[D0WNT0WN]

Acquaintences really, but I have one good friend and our parents are good friends so we really get along since we basicly grew up together.

He can be a huge cock sometimes but so can I so we really get along.

 

[Srdjan]

Few good friends and bunch of regular ones.

 

[Treefingers]

I have a group of good friends, and one in particular who i'd consider my best friend.

 

[Woodsey]

I've got 2 "best" friends (I hate that phrase though), and others are mates on varying scales of how much I talk to them.
