[Deleted]

1. I have a handful of friends that I have known for 10+ years.

2. Only on Facebook. My good friends and bffs from high school and I grew apart since we were 18. We all went in different directions.

3. I have 1 person who I consider my bff. We are kinda starting to grow apart though. We are still close but in 2 different places in our lives. When we do hang out it's like old times again, we just don't have a chance to go hang out as much.

4. nope.

Sorry I know this experience well and it's not fun.

1. What is your longest friendship?  I've been friends with A since the 6th grade. When we talk, it's like I spoke to her yesterday.

2. Do you still talk to friends from high school? There is a group of 5-6 of us from my class and the class above me that get together once a year. We have decided we don't want to go to our respective class reunions....just get together with each other. 

3. Do you have multiple BFFs or just one? I think I have a group of 5-6 CLOSE friends. It's been a long time since I've had a best friend. Actually, you guys could be considered best friends. Some of you know more about my personal life then they do. I feel more comfortable here. 

4. Are you friends with any of your xbfs? Once I determine I'm not comfortable with someone, I cut them out. I forgive them, love them (from afar), but I don't keep the connection. I really wanted to send a gift for one's baby shower on Saturday. I just felt it would have re-opened a case I had long ago closed.....for good reason. I did pray that she have a happy and healthy remainder of her pregnancy and delivered a happy & healthy baby.


Edit - I just re-read question #4. I am not friends with any exes. Not my policy. When I'm done, I'm done. One of my best friends from HS and I kissed once......but I don't count him. I was in the 8th grade

This just makes me sad lol.

1. What is your longest friendship?
Longest friendship would definitely my cousin and I who are 6 months apart. I've also known jjwritergirl for almost 15 years now!

2. Do you still talk to friends from high school?
I have a few close friends from high school maybe 3-4 that I talk to a few times a year/get together with.

3. Do you have multiple BFFs or just one?
Official Best Friend is jjwritergirl I have a few other super good friends, but wouldn't put them into the BFF category!

4. Are you friends with any of your xbfs?
I only really have one official ex and no, I hope to never see or hear from him ever in my lifetime lol

I'm sorry awick14. I'm kind of going through/went through the same thing with my cousin! It's a crappy feeling.

1. That I actually still hang out with and talk to regularly, probably 8 or 9 years.

2. Talk to yeah. I started reconnecting with some of them over the last few years and really want to get together with them soon!

3. One that I actually call BFF. She has multiple BFFs though, lol.

4. Not in the sense that we hang out, but I'm still friends on Facebook with some of them and would talk to them if I ran into them. I'm still friends with one of my ex's 2 sisters on FB, lol. H doesn't care, we're pretty laid back about Facebook friends.

1. What is your longest friendship? I'd say ~10 years. A lot of my childhood friends moved away.

2. Do you still talk to friends from high school? Yup.

3. Do you have multiple BFFs or just one? Multiple. The ones that I consider to be true BFFs I met after my undergrad. My BFF from undergrad turned out to be someone I couldn't depend on.

4. Are you friends with any of your xbfs? I stayed friends with the xbf that I dated before H. He's actually friends with my H and was the one that talked me into giving him a chance after I got a wrong first impression of him. He's military (was a cadet with H) so we haven't seen him in forever but his wife and I keep up with each other's families on Facebook so I still consider them friends.

1. 20 years. She is the only person (other than my mom) who I catch up with on the phone. We talk at least 1x per month, but have only seen each other in person a handful of times since she moved from my hometown when we were 15.

2. Yes

3. I have bffs that fulfill different needs in my life.

4. I am distant with some friends with whom I used to be close. One in particular is became very politically active after she met her now dh, and it is hard to have a conversation that does not turn into a political debate (which is annoying because I don't wish to debate but she keeps pushing.) She posts a lot of hateful things on her FB which doesn't inspire goodwill either.

1. What is your longest friendship?
12+ years or so


2. Do you still talk to friends from high school?
Only on FB. I never made great connections with anyone from HS.


3. Do you have multiple BFFs or just one?
One official BFF. I have known her 8 years.


4. Are you friends with any of your xbfs?
I never had a serious bf before DH. I went on a few dates with a guy from HS but we lost touch after we graduated.

[awick14]

1. My longest is 14 years and slowly dying...

2. I have a few friends from high school that I talk to on Facebook regularly and see each other maybe 1-2x a year.

3. I guess I now have a more recent BBF, DHs friends wife. She has been her for me more then my high school BFF.

4. I only have one X, we are Facebook friends but we don't talk on there or IRL.

Sorry I made you sad @moonbeam.

MrsMB- I am way more comfortable here then with most of my friends too.

[Waffles]

1. What is your longest friendship?
6-7 years.  Started at our old job, we both got jobs together at new company.  We still work together, but our friendship has died off

2. Do you still talk to friends from high school?
Not really.  I have a HS friend that I occasionally see if we go to a convention together.  Which has happened twice (though we are planning next year's).  She lives out of state.  We only see each other at the convention now.

3. Do you have multiple BFFs or just one?
No BFFs...  But at this point I'd say my closest friendship is with my husband's best friend - our Best Man.

4. Are you friends with any of your xbfs?
Nope.

::hugs:: awick14 re: dwindling friendships in general

[wanderingenough]

I know this feeling well, too. It sucks and I'm sorry you are dealing with it awick14!

1. What is your longest friendship?
Actual close friend who I still talk to regularly and see a good amount -- 10 years. There are people on FB who I've known for 20+, but I wouldn't call them friends.

2. Do you still talk to friends from high school?
Not other than FB stalking. I'm such a different person than I was then.

3. Do you have multiple BFFs or just one?
A few. Like @mrschicken, they fulfill different needs. Each I met in college. One I talk to and see each multiple times a year, talk/text/facetime about once a week, and our husbands are good friends. Another I talk to almost (on FB messenger or text), but we haven't seen each other in years. The other two I'm starting to grow apart from because we are all in different phases of our lives.

4. Are you friends with any of your xbfs?
Nope. Those guys made it to that list for a reason.
There are some boys I kissed in college who I'm still friends with. Haha.

1. What is your longest friendship?
Longest true friendship (talk regularly, not just FB etc) is 20 years.

2. Do you still talk to friends from high school?
Not really. I am so different and didn't maintain any relationships from there.

3. Do you have multiple BFFs or just one?
Multiple. Having just one stinks. Always seemed to end badly for me.

4. Are you friends with any of your xbfs?
Nope!

3. Do you have multiple BFFs or just one? I don't know if I even have a BFF.
