I once made a list of all the people I grab coffee with and stuff. It’s like 10-15 people. Once I took away work-related stuff and people I only see occasionally, it’s like 5-7 people. Out of those 7, only 3 are what I would consider a close friend. Only 1 of those 3 is my best friend who will hear everything about my life.
So, I could say “I have 15 friends” but that would be inaccurate depending on how one interprets the word “friend.”
My whole point is, some people will exaggerate the number to seem cooler, others may say “friend” when they only see that person 3 times a year.

The dude you’re seeing 3 times a year now is still your friend if you’ve spent dozens of weekends together earlier.
