You’re doing better than I am.

I know people. We get along. But friends? Nope.

It's kinda crazy. I'm 41 now and 10 or 15 years ago i often read that people said that they have no friend. And i thought that's more of a joke, like people knline joke about how they wanna kill themselves or whatever, because i had multiple friend groups, and would see a lot of them almost daily.

Suddenly, people moved away, were in relationships, had kids, died or you just realized that you are not friends anymore.

I talked to my girlfriend about our wedding and she asked me who i would invite. I had to think for a bit and said, i dunno, my sister... And that's pretty much it, since i marry my best and kind of only friend. Then she thought about it and said: my parents, and... Fuck, i don't have any friends either, except you.

Close friends that I talk to almost daily? Like 4

Friends that I talk to about once a week or more? Like 10-15

Friends that I rarely talk to, but would hang out with time permitting? Like 30. Most are co workers that I’ll go drinking with after work.

I have 4 that I would consider close friends. Sometime having a small group of friends is good.

Many comments mention "people i talk to every day". Is that really a common thing? Literally daily? I have a couple good friends, but definitely none I talk to daily 😅

For me it is more about being friends for many years and always having a good time when we meet. At most I chat 2-3 times a week with some.

I'd say I have a good handful. I'm not good at getting close to people, so some toe the line for me between acquaintance and friend. For a numerical, I suppose if we count those toeing the line - maybe a dozen or so? Maybe 15?

I've been very lucky as an adult to find a lot of good people. 99% of them are from playing TTRPGs online.

Where does one go to start playing these games?

It's a bit tricky nowadays to find a solid game. There's plenty of LFG things on either Reddit or any of the discords for your desired TTRPG - usually numbers favor DnD5e, but there's a fair few on Pathfinder 2e nowadays too.

However, the best luck I've had in more recent years has been on startplaying.games - where you can find a paid DM/GM. (Not a shill, just what I have personally experienced)

I could go into what I believe the benefits of a paid vs unpaid game are, but that's a lot of extra for just this.

3 good ones and maybe 5 outside of that. I'm pretty bad at keeping up with them honestly. Sometimes I message them and they're like yo its been 6 months where you been, yeah sorry I got obsessed with something and forgot the world exists.

BassTurd 2 points 10 hours ago

2 very close friends, my wife that's my friend, another close friend, and at least another dozen I would consider friends. Then there are many acquaintances that I enjoy associating with, but we're not a as close and don't talk frequently. Also a brother, sister, and BiL that I'm close with and do friend things with.

My friend and my wife. I'm not a disagreeable person. I have a fair few friendly acquaintances, but I'm not willing to put in the energy for more actual friends

I have 9; 5 are uni classmates I’m on a 2-semester project with, and the other 4 are:

-A retired public-sector official old enough to be my grandmother

-A semi-retired realtor also old enough to be my grandmother

-Another realtor who used to work for the first realtor but now is an exec at another company

-His notary-public and possibly-also-CIA longtime boyfriend

All of the latter 4 are older than my parents.
