How big is your friendship group currently?

3 people

None that I actually see any more. All of my friends that I had growing up have moved away. All of the friends that my husband and I have had over the past 40+ years have all divorced and moved on. He has lots of friends from working in the same place for over 40 years and we occasionally hang out with a couple of them but I’m not really that close to them myself. I have my sister but she works 40+ hours a week and don’t really see her that often either.

 

[Meriweather]

none.....I'm fine with that.
I see my family a lot

 

[TippyThomas]

None. I'm a loner and have always been alone. I don't handle social situations and relationships well so I simply don't engage.

 

[disneychrista]

Don't have a friendship group. I don't really socialize with anyone.

Superficial relationships with work colleagues and DH’s friends. I have 2 friends outside of family whom I could call in the middle of the night to help me bury a body but we don’t talk regularly.

What @Carol_ said!!

 

[MamaMermaid]

Hubby and I share a friend group that he met in college. They became my friends, too. There are 3 of them. We see them regularly. One is my son’s godfather. The others we call Uncle and Aunt.

I have a best friend but she lives far - MA, and I’m in FL.

There are a couple of co-workers I could see myself becoming friends with but it’s hard to find time.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I have a couple of people that are a part of my sister's friendship group that I see at weddings and other events, but I really only socialize with family and extended family now that I've moved from Philly. My friends group became FB friends.

I have no friends and really no one besides my husband that I can count on. I’m not really ok with it and I am quite lonely but anything I’ve done to try and meet people and make friends just hasn’t worked.

 

[CinderEmma94]

I have two friends (other than my husband). And I’m totally ok with that. They are more like family than friends.

 

[DLgal]

I don't have a friend "group." Not since middle school, at least.

I have 2 very close friends, but they don't know each other. One is local, the other is not. I'm in almost daily contact with both.

I have several peripheral friends as well as couples that are mutual friends of my husband and I.

 

[CdnCarrie]

I have a group of 4 from high school. See 2 of them independently more than a group.
Then a few other friends.

 

[ronandannette]

Lots - 9 ladies that I consider very close friends (but we're not all one big friend group). I'm not counting the husbands of the married ones, although DH and I are couples-friends with almost all of them.

 

[SandyinMonterey]

I moved to where I'm living now 6 years ago. There is no one I considered a friend or do things with. I'm fine with that. I do have some friends where I used to live 20 plus years ago that I've been friends with for over 30 years that I keep in touch with.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

4
my sister and 3 very good friends
for quite sometime 2 of those friends lived far away from me and then one moved back to my hometown to take care of her mom. Now she is moving back to AZ and my other long distance friend (Alaska)has moved back after being gone for over 17 yrs. I love it!

 

[Laugh O. Grams]

Wow, no judgment, but I'm surprised at some of the incredibly low numbers being posted! We're an extremely social family & have a good probably 40+ couples who we hang with on a fairly common basis at various dinners, sporting events & parties throughout the year. Truth be told, having such a large group of friends can get a bit exhausting, but the good in it absolutely outweighs the bad

 

[1420Elexismc]

My circle is so small it may as well be a dot at this point...and I am fine with that. I have my family and acquaintances I socialize with at soccer but rarely talk to them outside of while we're playing. I have a handful of very close friends and am truly comfortable there.

 

[antmaril]

I have quite a few good friends. My childhood friend and I have been besties for 68 years. I love her like a sister. I also have a new friend that I met on my bowling league. She and I hit it off, live about ten minutes from each other and have been doing all kinds of fun things over the last four years. She is divorced and I am widowed. We travel, go out for dinner, etc. I feel blessed to have made a new friend later in life. It isn’t easy to make new friends. I also have several other very good friends that I see at least once a month.

I feel very blessed to have so many good friends.

My husband and I have five couples that we are friends with. Three of the couples we became friends with because our boys are all friends, but we all get along so well and enjoy getting together often throughout the year. The other couple is a friend of mine from work and her husband, who I’d say is probably my DH’s best friend. We are good friends with another couple from our old church, we just don’t see them as often as we’d like - life just gets in the way. I have a lot of friends from work that are friends outside of work and then I have a few other friends that I’ve been friends with since high school. To answer the question, I think I have a lot of friends and I wouldn’t want it any other way. DH and I are social people.
