Yea normal part of growing older

It’s a joke, but there is also truth in the statement. With the changing priorities in everyone’s lives, the number of real, close friends will likely decrease as time goes on.

Early 30s and I say yes. Few close friends in between but I trust them. We don’t text or chat often, but we know we have each other’s backs.
Nobody has a lot of friends - they just think they do.
Yes.
Yeah man
Yep. That's when I started to realize that there is a huge difference between friends and acquaintances. I trimmed my circle a lot and only had about 4 that I considered true friends.

Yes, a lot fewer 'true' friends, I think primarily because you stop hanging out in large groups all the time. But the importance of relatively loose connections rises dramatically. When you're young it's all about your best friends being there for you, later on it's often people you only met a couple of times that go out of their way to do you a solid.

I’m same as you. Also not sure if im doing anything wrong.
Have a peer around our age who seems to be friends with everyone and is always posting pics of different groups she is spending time with - can a person genuinely be this close with so many people? Can’t relate at all, maybe cuz im quite an introvert and one day hanging out with new people will make me go back into my shell to rest for a week.
Friends are overrated. You only need a a couple to talk to, hang out with, etc.
you have a lot of acquaintances* and one friend. i’m so happy i am now able to properly separate a acquaintance and a friend

That was my life until my late 20s. I did have 1 good best friend thing, but as you get older your circle shrinks and you have a few closer ones
I have my siblings & spouse, and then I have coworkers. That’s it.

Damn I have none of those

Like 9 true friends and cut everyone else out of my life

My friend group is weird. We’ve all been hanging out since we were like 14. The oldest friendship I’ve known since I was in first grade and him and a few others come chill at my place almost daily and we watch basketball play video games and hang out.
We’re 30.
