2-3 close friends but I would never assume any of them would “drop everything” for me. I mean, if I was dying or in mortal danger, yes, but I think that’s true if some of my less close friends too. But if I was just having a tough day, they’d try but they have families and other stuff going on. That’s a lot to ask if anyone.
Really the only person in my life who I feel confident would be there for me is my DH, and we are in a rough patch and he hasn’t been great to me lately.
I’m not close to my family.
I feel pretty isolated right now, TBH.
I'll be your friend. I think you are great.

4.
I have several good friends I will hang out with anytime, but I would not be comfortable enough sharing a secret with.

Right now three. Geography is a factor.

I have 2 best friends that I talk to almost daily. I also have a male friend and a boyfriend I talk to multiple times a day. But other then those 4 my circle is pretty small. I’m very much an introvert.

5 really close friends, all in other cities (2 from high school and 3 from college). A handful of other friends in other cities, and a couple of local friends. Definitely not enough people to hang out with locally. We have some family friends but I wouldn’t call the wives directly to hang out or anything.

One close friend who lives on another continent.
4 good friends.
Maybe 6 friends that I get together with and socialize once in a while. My friends tend to move away so my circle is getting smaller and smaller.

My friendships have shifted over the last two years. Someone I thought I was casual friends with, it turns out REALLY views me as a good friend which was a pleasant surprise. And someone I'd previously been close with disappeared. So things are in flux a bit - I think they're just now starting to shake out as everyone's boosted and kids are getting vaccinated.
I'd say I have four close friends, not including my husband.

Very close friends — as in those who I talk to often, and who might know about private difficulties in marriage or with children — 3-4.
Inner circle — friends I’ve had for 20+ years, would travel hours to see each other, deeply love each other — around 10.
Local close friends for socializing, ~5. Good to have people who you can hang out with from time to time and share life with.

Very close friends - 3. I have a lot of regular friends, but those 4 would drop anything for me and vice versa. The regular friends are more for fun socializing.

I know friendships can be difficult as we age with kids and marriage. How many friends are needed to maintain happiness in your opinion?
