Who's in your social circle?

^^ Topic

(The type of people you hang out with, cool with, real close with, enemies, people you associate with or just tolerate etc etc.)

 

Uh, other moms? Other couples with kids. That's about it. Most of our old college friends have moved away from this area and we have one close guy friend who is my husband's sports buddy but other than that we socialize with other people we've met through our children's common interests.

Just wait. 10-20 more years and you'll be here, too.

 

The wider circle is mostly people I went to college with and younger people I've met through their association with friends who are still in school. It's a well-mixed group of people from around the world.

My immediate circle has about five main people in it; we are all male, between the ages of 27 and 48, never been married, and only one (the oldest) has an offspring of adult age.

 

I don't want children.

 

I don't have many friends/acquiatancies (spelling?), but besides my family, I met most of the ppl I see:
- at high school or university;
- on the internet;
- at work;
- at bellydance classes;
- at hip hop classes:
- though other friends.

I don't really think I have enemies, There are 2-3 people wich I've broken my friendhips with or they did it, whithout really having the chances to talk about what happened, so sometimes I still think about them and feel guilty.
People that I really can't stand now are a couple of guys I know who pissed me off for various reasons and one of my coworkers.

I'm not sure I can say I have real friends, but btw I think my best friends are 3. I met one girl at school when we were 15, another one at work when we were 18, another girl on the internet last year. I've met her only twice but we often chat and make videocalls on messenger.

I have loads of friends on the internet and I've actually met a lot of people in person. Some people are from this forum, some are from other social networks as myspace or italian communities. I think I should take a USA coast-to-coast trip to go and meet all the friends I have there

Bellydance also made me meet some special people, both students or classmates. It's a joy to go and dance with them.

I met my ex ex at the club, we've been together for 5 yrs and now we r like brother and sister.

 

I don't have a circle anymore. It's more like a line that goes from me to my man and then back again. I have a tendency to "disappear" and drop off the map for months, even years, and then pop back up again and pick up right where we left off (except with my man. I'm always with him). But at this time I'm "off the map". Once I feel like "being social" again though, my circle will consist of a few females I've been best of friends with since we were all in diapers as I am very selective with whom I keep company with and require a lot before I'll consider you my friend or let you in my circle.

 

I consider myself quite lucky because I have three best friends, and quite a lot of close friends.
Here in Manchester my group of friends is a bit more like me. My friends are down to earth and generally from working class backgrounds. They keep it real, and I can talk to them about anything. They understand me and relate to me better than anyone else.

My friends from uni are mostly Southern and middle class, I'm the token Northerner that impresses them with my funny accent and tales of chips and gravy from Manchester.
I love them all, like, but with the people from home I can relax a bit more. My mates at uni know how to party though

I also have a group of guy friends that are my 'football friends.' We go to games together and shout abuse at City fans. I love them all :smt055

There are a couple of people I've lost contact with recently that I would love to hear from again, these are mainly online friends but a few in person, too. I used to be a bit of a rocker but now since I go to R&B clubs and wear designer shoes, these kids don't want to know me anymore. I suppose that's their loss in away, but I still miss them and their friendship.
I also want to see my ex boyfriend, as a friend. We have so much fun together and we have so much in common from our backgrounds to our mutual love of ugly dogs. I really miss him a lot and we've took one step closer to talking recently, we're facebook friends again, oh ho ho!
I think it might be a bit difficult to be just friends when you're still attracted to each other, but we'll see.

 

I mostly like to kick it and hang out with my friends D'Wayne & Re-Run.:smt003

 

I only hang out with cool people.

 

what up Raj?

hey, hey, hey

 

Good question Chrome.

Since you become who you hang around - I choose quality above all else.

Respect, intelligence, some mutual values, educated, motivated...
People who inspire me to be a better person. People I can rely on, who I can trust above all else.

I have three close friends from High School who, I've now known half my life. I have some wonderful friends from University who are like the big brothers I never had. These 4 - 5 people are all I really need. I would do anything for any of them, because I know they would never ask me to do something that I couldn't. I love them all...

Other good friends have come from work, travel and mutual friends.
I have friends in Europe and the USA. I don't find that distance makes the retention of friendships too difficult, although I am lazy with keeping up contact.

Most other people are acquaintances who fulfil some need at the time, but aren't life-long friend material.

Friends are important. Quality friends are essential. It is necessary to have people close to you that help you float, not drag you down...Sometimes it's hard to see the difference.

 

I hang with the same set of friends I went to high school with and graduated with. Together, we form the Creamteam. But over the past several months, I haven't seen the others that much, because I'm always hanging with our other friend(he's a CT member, but the others don't like hanging with him). A few months ago, the friend that the others don't like hanging with and our other friend ended their friendship over some subs, so now I'm stuck hanging with him all the time, since in his words, I'm "his only friend", which is true. Sometimes I gotta ditch him to hang with my other friends, and if I do say I'm hanging with them, he will want to come, but they don't want him there. Now that I'm his only friend, he is always hitting me up to hang, and I gotta lie and say I'm studying or some shit, just so I can chill at my house by myself. And he will leave hella texts and call a lot of times too, and gets butt-hurt when I don't want to hang. That's one reason my other friends don't like hanging with him. Too damn clingy man. Can barely hang with my other boys, because every free night I have(Thursday through Saturday), he wants to hang. I've probably seen my other friends like 10 times in the past 5 months. I've always gotta be the neutral one and be stuck in the middle of some damn conflict.

But yeah, I hang with my friends that I graduated with, and sometimes with our friends who still go to our high school. They're pretty cool, most of the time.

 

Mostly people that have kids.

 

As I go to college, most of my friends go to college as well, more specifically my own school. My "circle" has become more specific the last few quarters as a large percentage of my friends are other animation students now, because we see each other so much in class since at this stage we're mostly segregated from the other majors while we concentrate on the industry specific programs and such.

I just hang out with weird people. One of my closest friends is a hispanic guy who keeps quiet 90 percent of the time and has one of those personalities that makes you wonder if he may just become a mass murderer some day...until you get to know him well, of course.

My new roommates, who were also my friends first, are twin black girls, and some major potheads.

My homie Nate, and his crew...a bunch of strange, but lovable, gamers. Mostly black (with some hispanic), mostly animation students (with a smattering of Culinary Arts and Graphic Design), always getting into something interesting. For instance, we snuck through the fence last night to go play basketball behind a store that was closed, because there's a hoop back there. Quite fun. Then we went back to Nate's and played Street Fighter. I heart those guys.

hmm. My circle is wide and varied, and I have friends from many backgrounds and walks of life. A nice little Turkish electrical engineer, a black bouncer, a white waitress/culinary student...etc. I make friends usually according to how interesting I find them. Idiosyncrasies are fascinating, and weird people draw me, though I have some "normal" friends as well.

I get along with nearly anyone, except arrogant pricks. Large egos offend me, and I'm likely to take these people down a notch or two when I meet them. But as long as someone is down to earth we're usually good. But unless they're weird enough chances are we probably won't have a lasting friendship.

 

Also to add people that are from other countries but now live in Australia
does not matter where they from i find i am more comfortable with them as we have a lot simmar things, i have few aussie friends(not good friends) but not close not many like me, i mean will never be able to end up good friends as they dont even want to try with someone that come from another country .. i can see that they dont have a problem with someone that the background is from another place as long they born here, but not very nice to people that moved from another place

My best friend she is from china(i mension this before) when i visit her i feel am at my house that how much close we are .

 

Guys in the Martial arts school I go to, guys in the wrestling promotion I wrestle for, guys in my writing team, guys I video game with...

 

Mostly criminals and crackheads. We compare our status on the most criminal code convictions list. I'm at the top there too.
