Nah, my circle of close friends is bigger than that, and my circle of regular friends is even bigger. Not a single person from work made either of those lists, though.

Maybe you have 2 close friends maybe you have plenty of acquaintances! I think there a few sphere of friendship and people can move and out of those sphere. So maybe you have space for more if you want!

Nah I have about 6

from my current project? zero. I mean I LIKE the people but friendship is a strong word.

Oh absolutely. Who has time to keep up with so many people? So long as they are solid that’s all you need.

That's for the best IMHO

Having 50 friends is a lot of work and seriously why?

Have like 6 friends and a few hundred associates and you're good. Don't invent obligations for yourself that don't add positively to your life.

Yes, but if it's enough that you "notice" it, then put intentional effort into building new/ stronger friendships the way you would romantic relationships.

Just make sure you have bandwidth to support/ connect with them the same way you want support/ connection.

Yup. I’ve got 2

I usually only have one best friend at a time. Then I have 6 or so more I would really enjoy spending time with if we can cross geographic and time barriers. And then I have a lot of people I’d go grab a meal with if I’m in town but not super close to. Works for me.

I have 0

Finally going to tell my bosses I am leaving to work with another office at our company! I’ve wanted out for so long! But now I don’t know what to say… I want to tell them off but probably shouldn’t. If you’re moving within the same company do you still give a 2 week notice? Do you just verbally tell them?
