  • Hi Guest - Did you know?

Who are your friends

any. i get along with almost anyone. whatever the stereotype, so far. its kool. lots of insight from lots of different types of people. but i only have about 15 incredibly close friends, and 3 uber uber best mates who i really do love.
 
I put barricades up. I have trouble placing my trust in other people, even if I've known them for a long time.

I was in dire need of help to move out of an apartment, and none of my "good" friends (which I've known for over 8 years) called me back when I left a message. This made me furious because I would have done it for them, or at least called them back to give an answer.

One of my father's friends drove across the state to help me out at the last minute, but if he hadn't I would have been homeless for a few weeks.

Maybe I expect too much? I'm not sure, but I don't think so due to the extremity of the situation. I take this all as a learning experience and choose not to look at it negatively.

I would say right now my older brother and his fiance are my best friends. We can tell eachother anything and get into trouble together. Priceless.

One good friend is better than 10 friends in my opinion.

My friends cover a cross-section of demographics. Differences in economics, race, politics and religion, age, etc. abound. Often my friends are people who share some of my interests in traveling, media, discussions, collecting or games. There are exceptions to that as well.

Education wise, they probably average slightly above the "national average" but not by much.

As far as sexuality, the percentage of time I spend hanging with gay friends is probably no higher - and, in fact, I believe probably LESS, than whatever the current percentage of people who are gay in society at large. My friends probably number slightly above the statistical average of gay, but the handful of places I most often end up hanging out at for long periods of time (over half a day, as long as 2-3 days) are pretty much ALL straight people.

I just want to know how you (guys) pick your friends - compare to mine.

Well, what are yours? Share!

I have about three close friends in my life right now, the number has been going down as I get older and more hermitty. But I don't think I really pick my friends... my friendships just happen.

Like Caroline I met in high-school, she was dating a guy I knew and we got acquainted and she mentioned she didn't have a locker because she'd missed the lottery while waiting in line for a math class she wanted (our high school used to do this thing called the Mill, where you'd sign up for classes at various tables and sign up for lockers in the hallway, I never understood its purpose) and I mentioned I did have a locker assigned to me by the administration (courtesy of my third-cousin Ella who worked in the attendance office), and so we started sharing a locker and the rest is history.

A lot of my friends started off as my sister's friends, she's a lot more outgoing than I am; she'd bring them around, and we'd click. A lot of my friends I met in AA meetings. Most of my really close male friendships were developed because I had a crush on the guy and pursued him in my stilted useless way, which always ends in friendship because that's how it's always presented.

But they are all people whom I've met in everyday life, at school or work or gay AA, so we usually have socioeconomic class and education in common, we usually but not always have gay and/or recovery in common, and we get along well because we have some other things in common as well.

Nevertheless, I don't pick them for any particular reason (except the ones I was crushing on)... you just get along with people, and eventually some of the people who pass through your life sort of stick.
 
I don't have that many friends anymore, most of the ones I knew in High School/ College are now gone. Only one remaining and I met him in college. Oh all of them are straight.

so now I'm done with my education, getting the right job I wanted. The thing that is lacking right now is having gay friends. For some reason I can not stay friend with any gay people. What I'm looking for are the people with education/college graduate, making good money, drive a nice car, intelligence. Guess what, so far none of people I came across are the right people - this town is just sucks. Perhaps my standards are too high, and need to reach lowest...lol

But I get along with everyone.
