My real close friends are few. And I mean close friends, those that I can call up chat with.

I do have a couple work friends, that I see outside of work, by choice. My bff, we roomed together, three years in college. She's as close to me, as friends come.

Most people, are just acquaintances. Probably, this is all, by choice.

I had been friends, with a former neighbor, but she moved several states away. You know real friends, by those you can call up, and ask to mind the kids in a pinch. That number is 0. My bff, lives far away, she would.
