It's not quantity but quality.

How many do you have?
I mean TRUE TRUE friends?

There's no such thing as unlucky ~ as long as you have 1 true friend, that's really all you need.

Do they have to be female? I would say 3. Including sister- 4.

Re: How many TRUE friends do you have?

Right now I would say I have 1 and that is my DH. I have 3 sisters, 2 of whom I am very close to and a whole bunch of other friends who I see often but not the kind that would drop everything for me if I needed them.

My best friend in the whole world was my friend Joanne. We were so close that we knew what the other was thinking without saying a word. We were very different in many ways but I would have done anything she asked me to and vice versa. Unfortunately she passed away from breast cancer on June 26, 1998. I cannot believe that she has been gone for almost 5 years. But I have great memories of her and those I get to keep forever!

I have 2...they are twins, and have been my best friends since kindergarten. We've been through everything together, and I wouldn't trade them for the world!
I'm HAPPY that I 'only' have 2 true friends

I would say 2! I feel like you do Deb, but I am thankful for those 2.

Wendy, I am so sorry about Joanne. That is so sad and I am sure it is still hard on you

Re: How many TRUE friends do you have?

dont worry bride, I only have 2 also.

True friends, ones that you have been through alot with, ones that would get out of bed at 3 am to pick you up if your car broke down wherever, ones that would do anything for you....etc etc.

I'd rather have these two than 20 girlfriends! (This I have)

Re: How many TRUE friends do you have?

I would say 5. Two of them really came through for me this past weekend proving what true friends they are

sadly, I have the lowest number...sigh

wow! talk about timing-
I 'THOUGHT' I could say AT LEAST ONe...but you all prob saw my post last week about my one truly ggod friend who decided not to come to J's welcoming ceremony...so that relationship is rocky right now.

Other friends are actually Robs family members...his sis Susan, his mom, and a fam friend Joyce.

but I dont think of them as friends but what I call 'True family'

so besides Rob, I guess I have a 1/2 of a friend??

I would say I have 4- two of my best friend's since high school, one from college and one is my fsil. I have others who are close friends but these are the people I count on for alot of things and who I would drop anything for and vice versa.

3 my FI, my sister and male friend. They are the only people that I would trust with my life. In my early 20s I thought I had a few gfs that would be with me until the day I die, but after a situation in my life I found that not to be the case. Sadly enough because of that I do not trust many women at all.

My mother always said to my friends and I when we were in highschool that if you have 1 true friend in life you're lucky. I have at least 3, if not more. There's a few that might potentially become true friends, only time will tell. I definitely think I'm lucky for that.
