How many "real" friends do you have?
I don't have many and some of my closest friends live in different states (from me and from each other). It's funny because even my 2 "closest" friends, IMO, probably would hardly notice if I dropped off the face of the earth. One has cancer, so of course, that comsumes her life and thoughts. The other one moved 1 1/2 hours away, and I rarely see her, and she doesn't call or text. Funny thing if I were to say that to her, she would make it MY fault somehow.
So other friends I have are in my Bible study. Only 2 of them are single like me, the others are 3 married couples. But I haven't known them all that long, so we aren't THAT close.
I guess my point is, that it seems the older you get the less friends you have? I have tried joining different groups to enlarge my friend circle, but I keep getting these friends that are consumed with themselves and really not interested in me but I really don't mean that in a bad way. They just seem oblivious to anything outside their circle, so it's not intentional if that makes any sense.
So let's see....I have 11 female friends and only 2 that I can confide in and they both live out of state. What about you? Thoughts?
