I have one long standing best friend of 16 years, who’s always stuck by me. Feel really grateful to have that so I don’t worry about not having many friends.

No-one. Have no wish to associate with the ones from school, and the others were just fellow alcoholics that i would just call drinking associates.

Never had any decent friends - there was always a catch attatched where i usually came worse off.

I have a better relationship with a computer lol.

I have several friends from high school and middle school still. I tend to keep friends long term due to having high insight most of the time.

I still have some FB friends and one friend that I meet up with IRL now and then. Besides that it’s only family but I’m happy with that.

Well that friend is now a cardiologist. He was studying medicine when I was his friend. I saw his profile on a medical website, it said where he studied, his name, what he studied, etc I am sure its him.

Same with my brothers. Before sz they used to invite me to hangout with them and their friends, now they dont. But sometimes I go talk to their friends when they’re at our house, I hate it though as they keep pushing me into working by asking me what I work or offering me jobs and job ideas. I just leave or change subject when they do this.

All dead or in prison. I’m the only one left, the one who took things too far, did to much, lived too fast.

Im all that’s left.
