Do We Need Friends?

[tripleblonde]

as humans do we need friends/companionship to be happy?

i've always had several close friends and tons of aquaintances my whole life, but in the upcoming months 2 will graduate college and move out of state, 1 is leaving for a new college 3 hours away, and the other is getting married moving on from the college life so to speak.....

at first i was devestated just thinking about it, but now I'm not.....

don't know if it's part of growing up or what?

granted, I have a special person in my life right now which helps with this transistion, but I wonder how important friends are to our happiness?

i dont know as im getting older i just become more and mroe antisocial. i have no need for a girlfriend, i find it hard to find people that i think i could become great friends with, and the ones i have are dwindling for whatever reasons. i dont know if this is what happens as you grow older, i really dont think so, i think its because of other factors that happen AS you age, which not everyone may run into.

dump all your friends, grab some beer & rubbers, come on over and we'll find out. The museums are hot this time of year.

[sconoscuito]

yea I still need them

 

[velvett]

I don't think people need a lot of friends as they do I think benefit from a confidant.

 

[jerkbox]

who needs friends when you have the internet

 

[velvett]

LOL

 

[Buddy_Christ]

who needs friends when you have the internet

in your case, that might only be true cause you have no friends

same applies to me though, so don't get your panties in a ruffle.

i guess we have each other spoogebox and that's all we need.

 

[jerkbox]

[chewyxrage]

That's about the scope of it right now, but there are a few on this board and others that are by my definitions friends

Had to relog under a different name used to be Barak,Hi velvett

 

[danielson]

yes to an extent...you will ind close friends eventually no matter where you go, provided your not a complete ass, but it can be hard, especialy if you dont make them right off the bat

the fact ou have someone with you is enough...and yoiu will always stay in contact with the old friends, even if you dont see them all the time

True. I think one person you can relate to and talk about virtually anything with is pretty much all you need.

very to mine, more than family

wtf happened to the easy to use ignore function.

If this is not the most obnoxious childish message I have ever seen.................


Feel free...........

Do you have arrested mental development?

 

[big4life]

Everyone needs at least one person they trust to be there for them. When it comes to friends it is far more important to have quality rather than quanity.

 

[sconoscuito]

how are you supposed to have fun without friends???

someone you can laugh with, celebrate with, drink with, do whatver with...

be it girl friends or guy friends, you need them if you wanna live a good life

 

[powerslave]

velvett is my friend.....so there

yea, but it is really just out of pity.

I used to be a very social animal. Had many friends and always in the middle of a crowd. As I get older, I find less need to surround myslef with other people ,as I find that people just don't relate to me and vise versa. I have little in common, these days, with most people I know.

I agree with velvet though, you do need a confidant. My ex GF and me used to relate to each other and would have fun making fun of other people and their inadequacies. That was more than enough company for me.

Right now, I'm palying the lone ranger role. Looking for another evil confidant.
