My definition of "Friends" is a pretty powerful rubric that includes someone you can share any and all informaiton and trust with all you value. By this standard, I have few freinds and they were established years ago when I was young.

Then there are those I treat politely and am treated as a "freind?" we share stories and if needed, rides and tools. These are usually work based relationships establishments initiated by a common need to (insert need here).

The third category is those I meet at the YMCA (as an active Anti-theist I occasionally encounter a few that do not base their lives on believing in a supernatural sky-daddy). Ocasionally those and those I work in the with will participate in a movie night in my home (basement) theater that seats 21 comfortably. I generally do not consider the following two instances (friend) classificaton as they do not meet the criteria of the first rubric.

I am a friendly person, I am certianly polite. I have been blessed with wonderful friends. I think it's the ablity to both give and take. My friends are catalists for my growth and I respect the way they think and admire their talents. I do randomly talk and am selective both. It depends on where I am at at that moment both internally and externally.

I keep very few friends...I like animals better than humans

Far more random than they chose me, I think. I find it very telling how reserved someone is, and feel drawn to those less guarded. Suppose we all do, but I’ll definitely speak, often first, to someone new.

I prefer not to have to many friends. I do enjoy talking to strangers once in awhile. When I’m in the mood. And only if the stranger interesting. I’m better with people who have common interests

I would like to read your post, but it is a long rambling single paragrahp. Form your paragraphs around a single theme and link all senstences directly. Form a new paragraph for each new chain of thought. If you do that, your writing will improve, as will your own clarity of thought.
