How many true friends would you say you have?

[YourLocalSadGirly]

Personally I feel like I have 1 maybe 2 genuine friends. I know plenty more good people that I keep in touch with but I feel like only 1 or 2 people are actually there for me and will support me through almost anything. There's also a lot of people that I consider my friends that just don't talk to me very often which is one of my criteria for being a 'true' friend. I still appreciate those people but I know I can't count on them any time as they have their own busy lives that I'm not as much a part of (which is totally ok). I'm thankful for the people I have in my life but I do wish I had more than 1 or 2 true friends.

In all my entire 38 year on this earth I never had a single true friend. I had people whom I thought that were my friends, but I was too young and stupid to realize that they were just using me for favors.

None. Even your best friends will turn on you.

I used to have 5 friends, now I have 3 after a failed suicide pact... I like them, though.

I have two friends that I'm 50% sure I can rely on so: one?

None.

2 true friends, 3 acquaintances that I'm on very good terms with. I separate friends from acquaintances by a measure of loyalty, selfless helpfulness and frequency of time spent together. Having compatible social chemistry is the bare minimum, as a matter of fact.

i chose 1. im glad 2-4 has the most votes so far, even if its only for 2 at most i find it hard to believe anyone could have 10+ friends. actual good friends that know you enough and care about you! im just really shy and reserved though lol.
