Just apologize because NOTHING bad can happen if you do.

[Itnetlolor]

I don't have friends...

Not the best advice (depending on view), but it's probably best to keep things that way. Less BS to deal with.

I mean, it's kept me rather low-stress for a good amount of time, and it's plenty reliable. Keep associates, not friends. Even good friends since elementary school are none more than associates to me nowadays.

[Akigagak]

Yeah. This may sound sad, but fewer friends = much less drama to be involved in.

And really, I don't have the patience to deal with people getting into drama.

[Gunner-Chan]

And to present an opposing opinion. I'd rather go through tons of stuff for my friends than not. Because the reason I go through all this is because I care about them.

But given this boards demographic everyone probably feels the other way.

[Akigagak]

Oh. I'll do things for my friends, but it's the Drama I can't stand. You know, where he was going out with her, the she dumped him, but they were both invited to a party, so they ruined the whole thing with the bullshit.

That sort of nonsense.

You know the mark of a good friend?

More seriously, with a good friend, you can get into some seemingly bad arguments, but you still remain friends.

You don't need to get involved with that. Nodding and affirmative grunts are your friend.

[Dakk]

Indeed, including Dakk.

I have a total of 2 actual friends, IE people I actualy care about, and tons over tons of associates, IE people that will talk to me and help me if I ask, but I don't really care about their lives or what choices they make or sometimes.

Associates are people in which the only thing you care about is how they think of you. Friends are people you care about in almost every aspect.

@ ein: I agree completely. A friend is someone you can have a wild argument with and still have them like you the same way after some minutes.

Nope, I'm with you >_>  I don't have many close friends, but I sure am glad to have them around.

And I'm with you two. My life would be so much more boring if I didn't have friends to share it with.

[Jackrabbit]

We should start a niche "Have Friends, Enjoy It" club.

[Footkerchief]

Friends are pretty cool.  Losing them over dumb relationship shit isn't.  I'm probably never going to stop making this mistake, oh well.

That doesn't save a party though, just mean 90% of the guests are either grunting or in an awkward silence.

Take a third option then.
