Friends.

Hello everyone, how many friends is considered acceptable and normal? I would say I don’t have any friends that I can call a true friend.

Anyone and everyone can do us wrong friends and family alike having a couple of friends you see as equal is better than one so called true feiend.

Well, if you are talking about bosom-buddies/confidants, I would say a number that you could on one hand with maybe a few fingers left over. But, in your case, are you saying ZERO? Hmm, methinks that "Nunk" is a nice Anglo-Saxon word. Can you elaborate?

Same situation here. I always wanted friends but something inside always seemed to hold me back.

If you have just one friend, you’re lucky. Most people don’t and they’re just acquaintances. True friends are there for you no matter what is going on. They listen to your problems and give fair honest advice, no judgement. You treat each other with respect and feel comfortable to say and do anything. A real friend is dependable, trustworthy and faithful. You also have to be a good friend in return.

You are so right ,I always thought when you are working your work colleagues would become Friends, but how wrong was I, as soon as I was made to retire with health issues them Friends just disappear, the only things them Friends do is look at your status and say nothing, I feel like I need to talk to someone my mental health gone through the roof, I always thought true friends would be at the end of the phone 📱 but not mine .
