[quote=Anonymous]Close friends, like I'd have them in my wedding or consider them as potential guardians of my children: 2. Not local. We text multiple times a day.  BTW, FWIW, both of these people are women I met when I was over 30 (I'm 37).

Local good friends who I spend social time with but might lose contact with if they moved away. I'd go to their birthday parties and, if relevant, our kids play together: ~5. I see these people a few times a quarter, sometimes more, sometimes less. If my DH was out of town and I needed something if I fell ill or something, these would be the people I'd call.

People I'd consider good friends, but not super close (either anymore, or ever): probably 50. These are the kind of people I text if something strikes me and I want to share it, and would meet up with if I was in town or vice versa.

I've always been an extrovert who makes friends easily but has a hard time bringing them into the "best friend forever" category -- hence the wide gap between my number of "good friends" and my two lifer friends. Partially this has to do with moving every 5 years or so in my adult life up till this point, partially it has to do with me having  a hard time being vulnerable. [/quote]
