DO YOU HAVE REAL FRIENDS?

i dont think you can make an absolute answer to that. it's situational.
You can judge an entire profession by your own personal experience.

Psychology is way past the "I believe in it" segment. There's plenty empirical proof regarding a lot of its findings and applications. It doesn't mean every single psychology statement is automatically/scientifically true, of course. But disregarding the entire science/profession because of isolated cases is just plain dumb.

And that's also my non-rude version of it.

I won't go further into discussion because it's off-topic.

I don't wish to either, but I just want to say my opinion is not based (only, and far from it)) on my own personal experience.

Yup, sure can. In fact, let me do some more.

Fuck lawyers. Bunch of lying snakes. Goes double for politicians.

Professional athletes and hollywood actors are preposterously overpaid for how little they contribute to society.

Not a big fan of doctors either; if you really gave a shit about your patients, you wouldn't be on vacation nine months out of the year.

Edit:
While we're on the subject (lol what subject), space_monkey's avatar is deeply, deeply, deeply disturbing to me!

See how easy it is?
This is getting off track...

At any rate, I consider myself the kind of guy who has very few friends and a heck of a lot of people I'll shoot the shit, drink and play video games with.

When you have too much friends, don't know who to hang out with. Though they are either too busy or don't give a fuck.

Nice to have a group of friends, but less at most, don't want to overcrowd.

Only works for family, as you don't care how much people come to visit.

You either have friends who use you for something, and you feel abit betrayed, or have friends that care to call every week to hang out.

Why are these not friends? I think you need to lower your standards.

Are you kidding? There's a difference between people you just 'do shit with' and people who will actually have your back in a crisis, stand up for you, 'ride or die' type friends. Who will you invite to your wedding, the multitudes of people you got drunk with, played video games with, and just hung around over the years, or your true blue friends?

Come on dude how do you not realize this.
yeah are u fucken retarded???
I was actually about to ask him if he was retarded. You know me too well, guys.

I....I do not do any of those activities with anyone but my close friends. Like, the number of people I get drunk and play videogames on even a remotely semi-regular with is almost the exact same number (and same individuals) I consider my friends (less than 10, usually) with an even smaller inner circle of 3-6 who I consider my closest friends. I'm generally a hermit and it's gotten worse since my girlfriend of five years has gone back to Colorado. Nobody ever calls me.

I have very few friends, and even less acquaintances.

*cries*

Thanks for making me depressed, mog.
see why you gotta make me feel all bad now homie

I feel ya brah. Nobody ever calls me except to ask for homework help. It's depressing. Kinda. I do like my solitude. I get hurt a lot less when I'm by myself.
You don't need friends to get drunk with. Coworkers are enough.
You should tell the people you're getting drunk playing vids with that they're not your friends.

They'd love that.
