The Little Things about Friends

This thread is about friends-people that you talk to at all hours of the day, people that you hang out with and people that you just love to be around.

You can talk about your friends, share advice on friends and discuss friends. In addition, friendship discussion is allowed here. You may refer to various types of friendships. You may even talk about your friendship problems.

But before you do, please keep these rules in mind.

1. Forum and subforum rules apply.

2. Only discuss friendships based off your own experiences.

  • You may discuss friends of all kinds here, but remember Bulbagarden's stance on intersite drama.

3. If you feel uncomfortable, then PM one of us regarding your situation.

4. Any posts containing insults like "lolol you have no friends" gets infracted for flaming and baiting. No exceptions.

5. A moderator may give a public warning if he/she finds that the discussion has become off-topic per the thread rules. This is a sign that the current discussion needs to stop. Ignoring this will lead to warnings/infractions.
 
Although I'm rather anti-social in real life (I just have things I want to do more than hanging out with a crowd), I still appreciate having friends. It's just that I prefer having a few close friends rather than a lot of friends that I do not know as much as 'close friends'.

Sometimes there are things that I don't want to talk to family about yet want to vent. Chatting with a friend makes me feel better at those times.
 
Friendships of all kind huh?
Well, I don't really like anybody around me, but this message goes out to everyone on BMGf.
They are wonderful people and lovely to talk to. Everyone I meet has their own personal appeal that makes them likeable and people I consider my friends.
These people I can talk to and confide in without being made fun of and stuff.
Facebook may call people you know "friends" but they are people you know most of the time, and sometimes complete stranger. Another reason why BMGf is better than Facebook for making friends! ^_^
 
I'm the person with "many" friends but zero "close friends". You have them during fun times, but I am alone during the hard time.
Well like the famous quote from Lost said, "Live together, Die alone".
 
I have lots of friends and a select few as close friends.
 
I'm the kind of person who doesn't talk much but has a surprisingly high amount of friends; at least 3 different groups. My close friends (as in, those who will stay when I'll need them) are very few, though. I can only think of one, and we almost never hang out together, we're just together during the bus trip to get back home. She used to be my girlfriend, and our friendship survived our breakup. I think it's a good proof that she's one true friend.
 
Friends... yes, they are very nice. Unfortunately, I don't make one as easily. I prefer talking to my current friends than going out and make friends, except if I was greeted first.
 
I've got a few, really close friends who I can trust until death. Someone I can show my tears without feeling ashamed. I don't like having large groups of friends because for some reason, I get excluded. So I prefer having few friends who I can chatter endlessly about private lives.

I could actually write a lengthy biography about them XD
 
I'm pretty social in real life (not so much on the internet for some reason), but my personality dictates that I like being around people all the time.

That being said, I only have 4 friends that I really trust at all, and only one of them that I trust completely.
 
As for me, I'm introverted irl. I have one to two friends to whom I can tell my feelings.

Question for this thread: How frequently do you talk to them? Every day? Every week? Whenever you get the chance?

I usually only talk to them at school. When I'm on vacation, we rarely call each other, except for the few parties here and there.
 
I have quite a few friends and I'm truly grateful that I have them. They all, in various ways, helped get me through the darkness that was this past winter. I owe them all for that.

My friends who live in the area I can talk to pretty frequently, usually a few times a week. My friend in California is a different matter. I can't talk to him as often, but we stay in touch via Twitter and email and he will call occasionally. He also rooms with the hubby and I while at BotCon, so I see him for about a week once a year. When we do have the time to really sit down and talk, I enjoy it. My friend in Cali and I, well.... I think of him as mi hermano. That's how much I care about him.
 
I'm so antisocial, I'm a borderline recluse. I never really made friends. I have only 3 close ones that all live in the same town as me so I grew up with them.
I was probably more pleasant when I was a kid. If they hadn't known me all their lives and just met me as I am now, they'd probably hate me.
I'd describe them as shallow, I don't think they'd do anything for me. I know they wouldn't, they're all far too selfish. Basically they're like me, and that's why I like them. If I had a problem and confided in them, they'd probably just say 'don't worry about it' and ask to borrow money.
They are the funniest people I've ever met though.
 
I have a fair number of friends. For easy reference I'll put them into three groups -- friends from elementary school who now attend a different school, friends from elementary school who attend the same high school as I do, and new friends I've made at high school. Wow I used the word school five times in that one sentence.

Might seem surprising, but my closest friends are from group 1. Can't really call it a group considering there's only two people. I've known both of them for many years and am very comfortable around them. I consider them my childhood best friends. We still message each other on about a weekly basis and meet up in person once a while. My friends from group 2 are generally some of the funniest people I've ever met, very memorable with distinct personalities. Also, my friends here know friends from group 1 and 3, and so everyone getting along is nice. Group 3 is the largest, and the one I spend the most time with on a daily basis. It's full of great conversationalists and everyone's very easy to get along with.

While I really like all of my friends, there isn't one I'm extremely close with to the point where I can tell them anything. So, for now, I don't have a "best friend". This doesn't bother me -- I'm a private person, I guess, and I'm happy with the people and relationships already in my life.
 
Currently, my best friend of 16-17 years is ditching me for her boyfriend of less than one year :| He starting insulting me and her other best friend, and she did nothing. And when I brought it up she got mad and went lol he's just joking that's just him being him

I told her I'm waiting for her apology. I don't anticipate one though.

Geez, I've had fights with all three of my best friends in the past three months. Not sure if I suck or my friends fail at social.
 
Hi all, I'm going to share some recent experiences dealing with friends of my own =) starting off with the end of my Senior year in High School and moving to my first term of College as a Freshmen all over again.

Around the end of the year, I began to notice that a lot of my high school friendships were crumbling. I'm not sure if this was due to all of us knowing we were all going to take off and never/rarely see each other again, but we all somewhat sabotaged our relationships with each other--except for a very small and select few of us. Meaning about three of us.

Over the summer, I got the chance to go on FB and cleaned out my friend's list of anyone I didn't talk to anymore/never would talk to again/couldn't remember who they even were, and I went to college alone and friendless.

For a few weeks, I was really terrified that I would never find my people/friends/a group I felt comfortable around. But, it is much easier to find friends in college than in high school--in my opinion. Why? Because, you can actually locate people like you just by asking about their majors. I very quickly slipped into a group of music majors, who not only shared my love and interest for music... but quite a few of them turned out be gamers, Pokénerds, and internet junkies.

I know it won't be easy for everyone, but I want to encourage those in high school to look towards the future and remember that college could very possibly be waaay better. I always heard it was better, and it was for me--I found great friends who are more of friends to me than my HS friends ever were, these people care about me and I care about them.

Oh yeah, there's also significantly less petty drama in my new group of friends. That's a big plus.
 
Last year I had a really close, but small group of friends. Not much, but good enough for me. :3

But then things changed.

My closet friend had made another friend, and the two of them would hang out together all the time. Sometimes my friend would invite me to join them, but when I did, they would just ignore me. So one day I decided that I'd had enough, so I sort of cut off all contact with them, and spend most of that year alone. I didn't try to be friends with anyone, fearing that the same thing would happen with them.

This year I have different friends, and they're all great people. My friend from before has moved away. Even today though, I still cautious about who I choose as my friends.
 
I only have one remotely reliable close friend. I've known her for four years now and I'm basically her feminine counterpart but lately she's been very busy and is moving abroad next year.

I don't know what I'll do without her because I struggle to get close to people and although I like the new friends I've made at college they're just never on my wavelength. But if nothing else this makes me appreciate the importance of the handful of close, reliable friends I used to have before they all changed.

I sometimes wonder if you can ever replicate the kinds of friendships you get spending your early teens with people and I already feel at seventeen like I'll never have such good friends again.
 
I finally forced my friend to join the forums!! ^^ She can't PM though, her phone is amazing yet horrible. My friends yell at her to answer her phone, but in the end. She didn't even get a message lol, Oh yeah, she's googieglow~3 :banana:
