Friends
or
Acquaintances
Me I have many acquaintances, I know people here and there, but no real friends. I think I have trust issues. Oh well, how about you?

The thing about friends is that they are people who understand you, and who you understand. People you can be close to and trust. Acquaintances are people we chat to and get along with fairly well. Anyone who says they have more friends than acquaintances clearly doesn't know the difference. On the up side, acquaintances are usually what friends start out as. :)
It's sad you feel like you can't make friends. Trust is a big thing. Knowing and trusting yourself probably comes before trusting others. Not to say you should run around sharing your deepest secrets with everybody, but get to know yourself. Get to know what you do and don't mind people knowing about you. Work out what it is you stand to gain vs what you stand to lose by letting someone close to you. Knowing those things will help you set boundaries and also accept that it's okay if things don't work out with a friend - you'll still gain something from knowing that person, and it's worth the risk to enjoy the richness of having someone close to you.
Sorry for dribbling on, but I hate to see people feeling alone when they don't have to.

Acquaintances. In my opinion its better to have just a few very close friends rather than a whole bunch of "friends" who dont really even know you or would be there for you when it came down to it. I wouldnt replace my real friends for anything in the world. Not a thing. â¥
And hey its okay, we all have trust issues in one way or another, so dont worry about it. :)

I have more acquaintances than friend because I don't really like people in general so I don't become friends with them.
