I'm such a mess in terms of friends; like I have a ton of "acquaintances" but no real and genuine friends I can confide in.
And I'd like to keep it that way; me, myself and I; you're born alone and you die alone.
But to answer the question, I guess it depends on the person and whether they suffer from some sort of attention complex (or just love people) or if they're misanthropes etc.
