h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I guess I'm sort of in the middle..never wht I'd call hugely popular, but never a total billy no mates either.
Thouugh I do see a lot less of my RL friends since I had my son..and some of them just vanished altogether.

I've made an aquaintance that turned to a friend in all sorts of off places, in the que for the pub loos, in the bus , to be honest I can't remember how I met most of my friends!

Although I'm very social and friendly, im also pretty shy n self concious..but get a drink in me n i can strike up a conversation with pretty much anyone if im feeling confident too.

You just need to relax really and be yourself.

There is always that difference between being able to get on and socialise with people. I can be outgoing (possibly to excess, I will admit) and can generally chat to most people. However, close friends are more lacking. I have a handful of close friends (a disturbing about of whom I met on here), but my social circle is really quite small. Plus I hate clubbing and suchlike, so that tends to alienate me from a good number of my peers.

I have a few I'd call close friends..
and i'd cut off a leg for any of them. Most are just aquaintances.

I think the word friend tends to be overused.
