[quote=Anonymous]42, super introverted.

1 super close friend from the 90s, who really "gets me." She's far away but we text a lot and see each other a couple times a year or so. I would tell her anything, we are always there for each other.

Maybe 10-12 or so local "friends" with whom we do various things--the friends we invite over for a cookout, or to go to a show, or the friend I have lunch with or go see a museum exhibit, the handful of parent / neighbor friends who we met through our kid or at the pool, etc. I could count on them if I needed something, but we're not super-close. We've lived here 7 years and it has taken this long to cultivate this group.

I do work with an amazing group of people and while I wouldn't call them friends, I enjoy being with them, having happy hours, and we help each other out if needed.

A couple of friends who are out of town and we might make plans to go to the beach together, rent a cabin for the weekend, etc.

Probably another dozen or so people I stay in touch with but who are far-flung and I see rarely. We'll meet up for drinks or dinner or an outing if we happen to be near each other.

Unfortunately, I had another friend from the 90s who I also considered super close, but who has recently gone down the anti-mask / anti-vax right-wing conspiracy theory hole and I don't count her as close anymore. [/quote]
