Close friends that I talk to almost daily? Like 4
Friends that I talk to about once a week or more? Like 10-15
Friends that I rarely talk to, but would hang out with time permitting? Like 30. Most are co workers that Iβll go drinking with after work.
Never had any, I'm probably for the best given the many problems of society
People I talk to every day: 2
People I feel able to confide in regularly: 3
People I occasionally invite over for a party: 15
Acquaintances I enjoy being around at social functions: maybe 50
None of the categories count my kids, other peopleβs kids, or family except for my wife
Also, I think my numbers are inflated because of how many bands I was in when I was younger. The community of that music scene was something Iβm not sure Iβll ever see again. But I do play dnd every week, which helps too.
2 very close friends, my wife that's my friend, another close friend, and at least another dozen I would consider friends. Then there are many acquaintances that I enjoy associating with, but we're not a as close and don't talk frequently. Also a brother, sister, and BiL that I'm close with and do friend things with.
I can confidently say 2. i can delusionally say 6.
Youβre doing better than I am.
I know people. We get along. But friends? Nope.

Does my husband count? If so, one :(
Not many
Depending on your definition.
Probably dozens.
People I talk to daily shooting the shit? Probably 10 or so.
I have 4 that I would consider close friends. Sometime having a small group of friends is good.
I'd say I have a good handful. I'm not good at getting close to people, so some toe the line for me between acquaintance and friend. For a numerical, I suppose if we count those toeing the line - maybe a dozen or so? Maybe 15?
I've been very lucky as an adult to find a lot of good people. 99% of them are from playing TTRPGs online.
Where does one go to start playing these games?
