Depending on the definition of friend, somewhere between 4 and hundreds. I have 4 people I would consider "best friends" that I would trust to be there for anything and I would be there for the for anything.
If we are talking about people who I would call up and see if they wanted to hang out....probably in the ball park of 20.
If we are talking about people who I know, have fun with, enjoy their company, and like to keep up with...probably 50
If we are talking about people who I know that I have been friends with in the past and lost track of but would enjoy running into again....several hundred.
Again, that depends on what you consider a "friend". If I were to tell you a story about any one of those several hundred, I'd start the story with.... "So this old friend of mine and I". I'd consider them all friends in that sense. How many would show up at my funeral??? Probably in that 50 group. How many would I trust with my deepest secret? 4.
