I have friends now. Growing up I kept to myself... even thru 20s. Majority of anyone in my life who I have got close to has exited my life just as abruptly as entered.
I have one person who I have known now 14 years. We still talk. She is only person I have kept in contact with for so long that by default I believe we are friends .
I do have a lot of caring people in my life, of whom I do not feel close to at all.
The people I have met thru life are closer to me than my birth family could ever be
I have a bunch of y’all too. Just haven’t known y’all for longer than 4 years
majority of people I talk to here though know me better than well almost anyone I have ever met! So there is that

I have friends but when its put that way.... they are all looking like acquaintances.... I've found it to be a waste to tell anyone how I feel anymore... A certain sliver of my friend group have actually tried to replace me & have made it blatantly clear that I am like a toy on the shelf- something they eventually get bored with. I've kind of had to learn to be here for myself throughout the years. It's a blessing yet a curse & has taught me heavily I can either be my own best friend or own worst enemy.. Some days this is hard to remember though.
In real life - none.
On the Internet - one.
I'm very grateful for that one cause they're the only person I can be myself with they never judge me and always make me laugh but it's still not totally fulfilling cause they lack in certain areas that other friends have been much better at so I still feel lonely a lot 😔 but yeah! 1 basically!

Not many. Closest friend within real life reach is someone who I once texted to say I was suicidal - she replied 3 days later.
Other closed friend dumped/ghosted me when I was having a mental breakdown over the summer.
I've got some friends online. I have a friend I met online and we talk every day, I would say she is now my closest friend, it's practically a relationship but with 2000 miles between us but I don't do long distance relationships so I guess it's more of a friendship though she might see it differently.

There are people I used to spend a lot of time with, who I’d still call friends, but who I only see maybe once a year or less when they happen to be in town.
But, as for people I spend time with regularly, there are none. I’ll literally go weeks without speaking to anyone other than my therapist.
Not exactly easy to meet people when you have agoraphobia.
