[quote=Anonymous]I look for a diversity.

I have a couple life-long friends who are like sisters to me. We may go months without talking or years without seeing each other, but they are the people who I know will be with me for the long-haul and with whom I can quickly pick back up where I left off.

Then I have a bunch of friends of convenience. Basically a social group of women who make me laugh, are great for a night out, and who I can count on to help me get the kids to soccer practice during good times or lend a bigger hand during bad times. They are also my workout buddies. I really like most of these people, and appreciate something about all of them, but some are people I probably wouldn’t befriend in other circumstances (and some drive me a little batty). Pretty much all moms from my kid’s school but some people a step removed (neighbors, friends of friends).

A couple women in that group are closer friends. We click on a bit of a deeper level and have more in common. We talk about work challenges, and family dynamics, etc. and go on vacations together. They’re the people who know the most about what is going on day to day in my life, and the people we socialize with most often.

Then there are my work friends. Different crowd, and more nuanced relationships because of work dynamics, but I do consider a handful of coworkers good friends.[/quote]
