ive known them all since elementary school/high school, i would hang out with them sporadically or more like 1 on 1 because we had different friend groups at the time, in like our twenties is when we become each others core friend group
Senior year of high school. We all became friends then went to different unis, ended up in different jobs, in different parts of the world. We’re 31-32 years old, the group chat is still active. We still FaceTime to chat once or twice a month. We see each other in person for like a week or two every year when we’re all in our hometown again, and it’s like nothing changed.
I was just finishing up my Master’s Degree and started looking around for a place to live off-campus. I answered an online ad for a woman who said she was looking for a roommate to take her apartment’s second bedroom. We met up in a coffee shop so she could suss out what kind of person I was, and she agreed to take me in. I moved in the next week.
She got me connected with her own friend group through a Unitarian church that she attends with her girlfriend. I wasn’t a church person since I escaped a bad one as a teenager, but I did start attending one of their support groups for young adults who have already lost their parents (mine died when I was 13). That group of mostly Unitarians has become my stable friend group for the last several years, along with my fiancé and some coworkers.
I have like 2 irl friends and I live with one of them, the rest of my school/childhood friends grew away from me. I have a group of friends online that I talk to daily.
I have 2-3 friends I keep in contact with from high school, and my cousin and I are best friends so we have mutual friends. I had a friend group of previous co-workers turned to besties but we fell off due to a couple factors (scheduling, finances, life and moving forward)
Most of them during grad school. A few have left and been added in as we are all in the same field. Most of us met around 2009, the latest one to “join” was around 2020
The Sunday before thanksgiving 2018, met then through my former best friend. Now I’m still friends with that whole group and none of us talk to the girl that introduced us
I met my friends in 30’s.They are all my husband’s friend’s partners.i know it’s unusual.i don’t have the talent to make friends.i am extrovert but i had no friends as such.i am happy now.A couple of friends are close too.i hope it stays.
I met my oldest friend in 8th grade and we’ve been friends ever since. We both made another friend each and all started hanging out together. It was fun for a while and the one friend moved away and lost touch. My old friend reconnected with someone from her childhood and she’s part of our group now. We say she’s the upgrade lol we have our group chat and text all the time and see each other frequently.
I accidentally have 2 friend groups. Group 1 – a mix of college and uni friends. Group 2 – made up of 2 more people, befriended 1person at the local youth club when I was around 15 and then introduced to 2nd person who I met in my 30s at a ladies dinner.
One group is from years ago – we were a bunch of geeks who went to scifi conventions and we now still catch up every couple of years. It’s harder as one is married with kids and the other three are still single but one lives interstate and then there’s two of us left who live not too far from each other. But she’s always busy with her nieces etc and traveling. Funny enough I met her through a blog I used to have – we realised later how randomly weird it kinda was; she saw something I posted, and invited herself to a movie I was watching! The other two – I met them the first time by organising to go to a gym class together.
I also hang out with a group of former classmates from Japanese class 10 years ago. I still keep in touch with one and catch up with him regularly (every month) but see the others sporadically. He’s also my closest friend right now and we talk a lot. We love Japanese food so we both catch up for ramen or sushi etc in different places. He lives near me.
Yet another group is from work. We get together and have impromptu dinners every now and then. They’re a lot younger than all the other group but it’s fun to have people to eat with.
I also have another group I met through an international meetup. We all did a liveaboard on the Great Barrier Reef last year and have since been good mates who catch up for meals every few months. I’m closer to two of them and see them a few times a year. They’re also getting married next year and we’re all invited to the wedding.
I have 3 friend groups. The in-person friends that I met through a mix of high school and a summer college program. The irony is that we weren’t close in high school, but became close in college.
My other two friend groups are from my online hobby spheres. One of them I met through a Minecraft Roleplaying server back in 2014 and while that server is closed, I still talk to them close ones every day.
The last group, also online, is a weekly Vampire the Masquerade game that I’ve been in for about a year. They were strangers to me when I joined and now I’m in a discord call most nights in some capacity
My “friend group” isn’t much of a group. I act mostly as the person that brings people together. I have 3 main best friends, one of which I know from high school, the other I met through working together 7 years ago, and the last one our dad’s are best friends so we met as children. Then, I am lucky enough to have an incredible relationship with my sister and her 4 closest friends are from high school. So we all hangout together as one big group although it’s obvious that everyone has someone they’re “closest” with and some of them probably wouldn’t/havent hung out one on one without the group
We met in elementary school and in high school. We have been friends for a long time now, and I love those girls with all of my heart. It’s said that if a friendship lasts at least 7 years, it’s likely to last a life time!
I had a friend group through high school and college and a bit after thanks to conventions themed after our shared special interests. After about 30 things broke up for a plethora of reasons, then COVID, then Global matters. My friends are all individuals I’ve met randomly and keep in contact with through aome form of chat program.
I have various friend groups that I met at school, at university, at work, at a sports club, from my parenting classes and baby groups, as well as just friends of friends.

In a Black Ops 2 lobby in Xbox in 2014

I met them when I was 3 years old, on my first day of school. On 2027, we will be celebrating 25 years of friendship ♥️🧿

Half of them, on IRC 25 years ago.
The other half, in a bar, 10 years ago.
There is no overlap.
My best friend I’ve known since the day I was born. Our dads met in kindergarten.
My other best friend was highschool, but we reconnected because we had kids at the same time.
My other best friend was my son’s school.
That’s all the friends I have haha.
