I (38) have 2 close friends now for over 18 years. One of them lives in a different country and the other in a different city.

I saw the movie last night with my kids and they didn’t enjoy. I didn’t particularly like it either.

I’m 43, and I don’t have friends. I have a girlfriend, and I have a “best friend” who’s not really in my life, but I can call at anytime and have a chat. I’ve known her for coming on nearly 30years. But day in day out friends, I don’t have them. I find it really hard to make friends. I overthink a lot and think a lot of people actually don’t care what I’m talking about. I find it difficult to believe people are genuine. I try so hard to look past that, but seemingly, most friendships end up being like work relationships.

Not seen the movie.

Best friends is up and down. Had one definitive best friend who died around 5 years back and I’ve got a few clusters of friends, such as school pals, people I’ve been in bands with.

Though in the past year a bunch of work pals and old bandmates have come together and formed a new band just to have fun with, cos we’re all getting on a bit and need a hobby I suppose. It’s been really nice seeing them very often, bringing people from one element of my life into the fray with those from another.

I don’t think I’ve felt more friendship than right now in a long time because of this!

I have some friends, and some people that are really important to me. My brother and wife truly are my best friends, but aside from them, I had two other homies that were my best best buds. One from military days, and one since the sixth grade.

One drank himself to death and the other shot himself. But old trees just grow stronger. I’m just glad to still be here, you know.

But I miss those motherfuckers all the time. Actually thanks for making me think about it.

31, never heard of the movie but I have 2 close friends. One lives about 2 hours away and the other works like 60 hour weeks so I barely get to see him anymore. I try and get up with them as much as possible but it’s tough. We still maintain the friendship though, which is the important part

First off, loved that movie.

Secondly, I’m 44 and I have a tight group of friends that I absolutely love. A few weeks ago we had a great camping trip together and we just had an awesome Thanksgiving party last night.

I’m incredibly lucky. Not everyone has it this good.

I don’t even have any regular friends and wouldn’t even begin to know how to make one.

I used to have a lot of friends, then I got clean.

I’m just not good at talking in that perspective. I can talk about specific topics but seem to lack the ability for small talk that making friends seems to require. In the past 6 years I thought I made a friend once, we worked together for a while and would talk a couple times a day, I was a little more advanced in my career so I would often help her with projects/teach her stuff, I even opened up a bit and let out my weird thoughts occasionally. It was good, then one day she just stopped responding.

I’m very content with having my wife and son as my best friends, but an actual friend would be nice.

I have a best friend. He lives in another state and we don’t talk as much as we used to, but whenever he actually comes online we usually chat or even play games together.

But he’s literally the only person I know in my life other than my father that would do everything in his power to help me if I needed it, and I would do the same for him.

Haven’t seen the movie. (never even heard of it).

Male, 55, don’t have any friends any more after divorce, COVID lockdowns, and isolation due to cancer treatment destroying my immune system.

To be honest, it doesn’t really bother me much. I can do what I want, when I want, without having to deal with other people’s schedules and emotional blackmail.

Not really, no. I used to, but it fell apart in late 2021 and I’m not sure exactly how.

I have a few close friends, most of whom I don’t see as often as I’d like.

Edit: I’m 45.

Unfortunately, no. Not anyone I feel comfortable confiding in completely, anyway.

Pretty much just my wife. I have some great friends from high school, but we only get together every other year or so.

I am 35, live alone, have never been in a relationship, I have two friends that I actively maintain a friendship with.

One is my best friend, though I have no idea if I am their best friend.

I had a few more, but they all drifted away during four and a half year of working 12h alternating day/night 12h shifts.
