Do you have any friends?
Do you find it easy to make friends?
Do you need friends or can you get by without any?
Do you ever want a friend but you cant because you need to protect yourself?
Do you think we should invent a bag of candy called friends and then when you need a friend you just reach into the bag and grab a couple of friends and then eat them.
Would you pay somebody 5 dollars to be your friend?

Would you pay somebody 5 dollars to be your friend? Someone already beat you to the punch. But yes (in situations involving evangelism. But no to any other circumstances.

I find it easy to make friends..

I do not have many...

But that's because my social needs are quite low.. and I like to keep my friends few.. and I love my alone time.. although lately I have been more social.. not sure how long I'll keep that up.. lol.

Do you have any friends? Yes.
Do you find it easy to make friends? Sometimes.
Do you need friends or can you get by without any? As an introvert, I cherish alone time that can stretch for long periods without contact, but I don't think I can be completely alone to the point of being by myself in life.
Do you ever want a friend but you cant because you need to protect yourself? I don't know how to answer that.
Do you think we should invent a bag of candy called friends and then when you need a friend you just reach into the bag and grab a couple of friends and then eat them. Sadly, I feel like I do this to the hurt of my friends.
Would you pay somebody 5 dollars to be your friend? Yeah, sure.

Do you have any friends?
Yes

Do you find it easy to make friends? Making them is easy, keeping them is tricky because I'm an introvert and I'm picky about how people treat others, even if it isn't me, and especially if it is someone who is vulnerable.

Do you need friends or can you get by without any?
I need them, but I can -and have- gotten by without any. I don't recommend it though. People need others.

Do you ever want a friend but you cant because you need to protect yourself?
I have on more than one occasion removed people from my life because they were not good for me or my kids. I have also left behind a lot friends to get away from a place that was bad for us.

Do you think we should invent a bag of candy called friends and then when you need a friend you just reach into the bag and grab a couple of friends and then eat them.
Sounds self-medicating and like someone with a tendency to use others to meet their own needs but has no regard for other's wellbeing.

Would you pay somebody 5 dollars to be your friend? This is what a therapist is only they charge way more, and charge it by the session.

Do you have any friends?
Many, actually. Yes. Old, new, work friends, friends from college, friends from childhood. It's a veritable cornucopia of platonic relations.

Do you find it easy to make friends?
When I want to yes. I'm friendly with everyone, but I'm selective with who I let "in".

Do you need friends or can you get by without any?
As much as I enjoy my friends, I consider myself a loner in a lot of ways. I also prefer socializing one on one or in very small groups.

Do you ever want a friend but you cant because you need to protect yourself?
Maybe? I had a friend from childhood who raked me over the coals when my wife divorced me. I ended that friendship. Sometimes I think it would be cool to reconnect but after six years I don't think the friendship would ever be the same, plus I what I've accomplished in my life after that friendship ended leads me to believe he was holding me back in a lot of ways.

That went south fast...

Would you pay somebody 5 dollars to be your friend?
I think I'm more likely to pay five bucks for someone to leave me alone.

Yep

All you need is some gingerbread.
Do you need friends or can you get by without any?
It is preferable to have friends. I'd like to say all I need is Jesus, but God has brought people in my life who where there when I needed them. :) Friends are a blessing.
Do you ever want a friend but you cant because you need to protect yourself?
I have a hard time understanding this one.

I think you forgot a question mark on this one.....
Would you pay somebody 5 dollars to be your friend?
Nope. If someone doesn't want to be my friend they don't want to be my friend.

Do you have any friends?
Yes, they're pretty much all from CF right now (and they're awesome!).

Do you find it easy to make friends?
In real life, sadly no. Online, it appears to be much easier.

Do you need friends or can you get by without any?
I need friends, without them I get lonely. I need the companionship, support, and guidance of good friends.

Do you ever want a friend but you cant because you need to protect yourself?
I don't think so.

Um...no.

Would you pay somebody 5 dollars to be your friend?
No. I want friends who really want to be my friend, not who want my money.

No. I want friends who really want to be my friend, not who want my money.

We seem so much alike when it comes to friendships,I could have answered many of your questions the same way.
