Having friends is fine, I guess. I've always been sort of a loner. I don't have many friends but I think sometimes having friends is a pain in the ass... LOL. I know I'm coming off the wrong way, don't get me wrong, I'm not some creepy uni-bomber type of guy.
I guess what I'm saying is that some people
need to have a lot of friends around them, for many reasons, some good and some not so good. I think at the end of the day you have to do what works best for you.
I just find as I get older, that friends come and go, as has already been mentioned, peoples lives get busy and sometimes friends can be a lot of "work" if that makes any sense.
We used to have a friend and it was just exhausting with her, she always had some major drama going and she was always just so needy. She also had a tendency to be oblivious to her surrounding and this came off as really rude at times......
