Poll: Do you have any friends in real life?

[Nemu]

Seriously?

Yes, I have friends.

And forgive my callousness, but I don't get how so-called recluses can consider themselves that if they speak with people over the internet. You're still interacting with the world, you know... *shrug*

 

[sephiroth1991]

I rarely add people to my friend list unless i know them personally.

That said, I don't have a facebook. Too lazy :3

I have Facebook but i rarely use it, just find it boring and pointless.

 

[Kukakkau]

Everyone does...

If they clicked No it was likely "for the lolz"

 

[s0denone]

I feel bad for the people that clicked no.

Seconded.

It sounds like a prime example of social marginalisation.

Who doesn't have friends? Either it's a blatant lie or simply sad to the point of being sickening :'/

 

[MercurySteam]

Yes I do. I can't say they're all the best that society has to offer but they're all fun to be around.

 

[Icecoldcynic]

I have a fair few friends. I have about 25 I'd be willing to spend a day with, 8ish who I'd be willing to spend a week with, 4 I'd be willing to spend a month with, and 2 I'd be willing to spend a year with. Doesn't seem too bad.

 

[CincoDeMayo]

I have tons of friends, but only a handful who are dear to me. My "best friends circle" includes perhaps 5 people, but that's more than enough to me. I'm often shifting from being very social to not wanting to see a face for a week, but I'm mostly very social and enjoy seeing new people, going to parties, and generally just having a good time with other people.

 

[Ekonk]

Oh yeah, I've got multiple friends and shitloads of acquaintances. Seriously, having friends goes without saying.
Unless...
Why are you asking this on the Escapist. Are you implying something? Something about gamers and their social life? Are ya, punk?

 

[Sampsa]

Yes. Came home today at 5:45 AM from celebrating our graduation from high school.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Yes, I do have friends.

Calumon: To those who said no, we would be your friend, if you want?

 

[TimeLord]

I uses to be part of a huge social group before gameing and the Escapist consumed me.

I have a few close friends but not much else

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I have gaming friends. Do they count?

I mean, I do actually see them in real life, its just all we do together is game.

Ah, well, it is all about the shared experience, I suppose...

 

[concrete89]

Less than I have toes, but more than I have fingers.

 

[Flamezdudes]

...who are the 23 who said no? And i said yes by the way.

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

If you mean people offline that I consider friends and get along well with, then yes.

If you mean people offline that I see regularly outside of educational situations or people who aren't flatmates, then no.

Less than I have toes, but more than I have fingers.

Is the answer "9"?

 

[Frequen-Z]

Not if I can help it. Every group of friends I've had all turned out to be backstabbing liars and every individual in the groups ends up disappointing me in one way or another. So I've stopped trying. I'm not a social person.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Um Yes I have friends... You know 'cos I leave my house and such. Actually about half my XBL friends list I know in real life and 4-5 of them are good close friends.

 

[Hileo20]

I have six friends who I regually spend time with. Two I have been friends with since 1st grade, one I met in middle school, and three I met in high school.

This is literally my exact situation except add one to the middle school section
