Do you have a close circle of a few, very good friends, or do you have a large circle of friends who are always at arms length?
Great question huh? I found it looking for blogs around the internet. I chanced upon the Topics Blog and found interesting questions to guide me in day to day blogging. Yeah, I know, I know. Even a person who is a talker needs to have a clear topic sometimes. Enough said.
Now, let me answer the question. I am known to be a person who is not that friendly. I have only a small number of friends that I count on, and count on me, to be with through thick and thin. Counting all my friends, I only need my fingers and toes, and go through them only once. Heck! I might not even go through all of them.
Let's see, I have only less than the fingers in my right hand to count as my friends in my workplace, about the number of the fingers in my left hand, plus or minus one, from my college years, and definitely less than the number of my toes in my right foot to count my high school friends. I might not be able to use up my toes from my left foot and the remaining fingers and toes from the other three to count the friends that I have whom I have met through different circumstances.
As I've said, I'm not a friendly person. I often come out as arrogant and snobbish when people first meet me. It's just the way I am at first. People get turned off by that. The people that stick around to get to know me better become my friends. I think I'm a nice person, and a fairly presentable one at that, but sometimes people don't get the things that amuse me. Things that I do sometimes fail to amuse the onion-skinned.
I guess, things would've been much different if I did have a sunny disposition always. I love the friends that I have, and if I could have more of them, why not?
I'm thankful for my friends. And I hope that they are thankful that they have me. :)
Done.
