    I'm a very private person, and I only have two people that I would really call my true friends. Online buddies don't count, and I am much more open with my online friends than I could ever be with my friends in real life. To answer the question, I always choose the people I think have the most potential to become my friends further down the line.

    I was thinking about that one day - it's a mutual thing and I think after some boundary testing, you get more comfortable with each other.

    PERSONALLY I know exactly where people stand with me, but I don't explicitly tell any of them (well, rarely). It's obvious - I will go out of my way to be more nicer to one set of people (and then a subset of that set) than random people or the rest of my associates.

    You don't have this happen with couples - where there's an explicit question and answer period.

    I mean yes, you can ask a person to be your friend, but I've never made a single friend in my life this way. Not a real friend, anyway (and definitely never once I was a functional social creature)

    I don't know. I don't have many but I don't pursue many.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    One of my biggest issues in making friends is I can be both anti-social and quite lazy about things. I'm really easy to get on with and chill out with but half the time I'll get lazy towards people and don't bother keeping up my end of the friendship. Sometimes however it's more because I think the person I'm being "lazy towards" needs to step up and actually take the initiative.

    I hate people. I'm not even kidding people are a virus. I treat them as such, with only a chosen few being worth it in the end. Wit those I do make certain efforts. I do little to maintain friendships. However for some unknown reason people keep coming back for more abuse and people i've never met hear about the abuse and want some themselves so I find myself with more people in my life than I deserve or even want. smurfing masochists. I do have certain pluses i suppose im kinda protective over the few worth my while so im pretty loyal and protective with the scars to prove it. You'll never get a deep conversation with me about feelings and emotions but if you're down i'll grab u by the arse hair & bring u out for more than one beer, make u laugh til it comes out yer ears and make u drink until you vomit all the bad stuff up. Ya know...the healthy way to deal with problems, alcohol. I've been known to hug once or twice a year if the situation really really requires it.

    I'm pretty sure I'll die alone as despite having no trouble getting women...I just lack the required effort or indeed will needed to keep them around.......and the worrying thing....i'm not entiely unhappy about that.

    I'm a healthy adult right? These friends of mine are lucky to have me.

    Personally my friends have all choosen me. I've tried to choose people to befriend and we just don't connect or get along. But my best mate she basically choose me like I was some kind of Pokemon.

    As of late, they choose me.

    I've grown into bit of a recluse, lately, and seem to hate everyone. People just want to talk to me for some reason.

    Maybe they're all after my robot bee....

    I think it's a bit of both, for me. Obviously everyone chooses who they befriend, but I guess I go to others before they come to me. I'm too social. Lol.

    My friends have to win a Hunger Games-style lottery to hang out with me.
