Would You Be Friends With Yourself?

[Maxel]

Honest answers please. Have fun with your answers.

[david small]

No. I don’t need, nor want a friend.

[Hopkirk]

Yes, because I know my friend would be a rock in times of need.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes I would , I know I’d be there for my friends when they need me

[Sqad]

I agree with david small @06.20

[Bobbisox1]

Everyone needs a friend, so David and Sqad, stop being as macho :0)

[emmie]

i guess i would be friends with myself, we all need friends, don't we......

[Sqad]

Friends? plural......probably required when one is young but friend (singular) is all that is necessary when one gets older and that friend could well be one's spouse.

Of course one has to define the noun..FRIEND.

[Bobbisox1]

Okay if I only had one friend it would be my husband but as it is I have many friend(s)
And wouldn’t spend my time analysing it anyway ;)

[andy-hughes]

I would.

I am loyal and discreet, and would probably tell myself not to talk so much!

[anneasquith]

Recently, maybe not. In the past yes, I can keep secrets, and a good listener .

[barry1010]

No.

[Ken4155]

I have always been a fairly popular person, someone who others have gravitated towards. I think i'd be happy enough to call myself 'friend'.

[margarettom]

It’s alright saying your friend is your spouse but that means, when they die, you are friendless. This could lead to isolation and acute loneliness. My friends are very important to me, especially as I have almost no family.

[Bobbisox1]

^^^ bang on Margaretom

[Tilly2]

Yes, I would be friends with myself. I'm a right laugh. :-)

[ummmm]

I's def be friends with me. We, as a couple, and as group, don't take life seriously. We work hard and laugh a lot.

And I can keep secrets. That might be a memory problem though.

[burlyshirley]

Definitely !

[Sqad]

Good point by margaretom.
However in my experience women need friends more than men and a women's friendship is quite different from a man's, women tend to have a more social friendship whereas men's tend tobe more sincere.

And drink fuelled.

[ummmm]

My OH friends are 50/50 male and female.

Beside my 3 closest friends from school days my friends are male.
