    Depends if you are talking about friends or friends, I have lots of friends but true close friends then maybe 3, I like to keep my circle tight.

    Many people I am friendly with but only two I know would drop everything to help me if I needed it. They are my true friends. Likewise I would drop all to help them.

    perhaps friends or acquaintances says it better
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    None. Maybe one or two at a push. I don't tolerate idiots and I don't give second chances. I also tell it how it is, people don't seem to like that.

    I have a small group of very close friends. I prefer to focus on maintaining relationships with people who really benefit my life, than have lots of loose acquaintances.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    None. I know loads of people but don't have anyone I could go to in a crisis

    Not including family - none. Like other posters I am friends with people but I wouldn't count any of them as close friends.
