Probably over thinking it.

It is hard to figure out who the true friends are. I kind of have buckets I put them in. One guy I really don't expect anything from but I am willing to be friends with him. He has helped me a lot in the past but he always has a selfish angle.

In my experience us guys are not good about staying in touch with each other. Some friends I have that I may not have seen or talked to in 10 years but when we do get together it is like we never missed a beat. Like we have been hanging out everyday for weeks or something. I have kind of taken that as a sign that they are true friends. Some friends male and female there is no doubt in my mind will be there for me even if they don't call or I don't call and make much effort. People have jobs, families, lots of things going on that have nothing to do with me and I try not to take it personally. I get lonely though. I ***** that they haven't called me and they ***** that I haven't called them.

I have heard that if you have two or three very close friends consider yourself lucky. Most are going to be in one of those other buckets.
