Disclaimer: This is not a let's make fun of how many friends someone has type of thread.
I'd appreciate it if you took the time to answer the poll and if your answer(s) ain't there just post below. The following are my personal thoughts and manner of answering the question above:



Personally I'm extremely friendly and consider everyone a possible friend, even those who hate me for no reason or simply looks without even talking to me first. (if they quit trying to troll around) I hate to keep grudges on offensive words some try to give me without getting to know me first. I've had people getting angry at me just because I wouldn't add them back to my friend list. To me a friend isn't someone that ya add on a list, it's that someone who takes the time to talk to you, shares their interests and gets to know ya little by little desu.~☆

IRL; When I'm in a good mood, I think I'm "somewhat" friendly. When I'm not in a good mood then...oh boy, you better run! Run forest!

But, if serious, I'm fair and friendly to all whos fair and friendly with me.

But sometimes, I just can't stand some individuals IRL just because...they are not appealing for me. That's all

On MAL, I'm apparently so friendly that I get random friend requests constantly. Not even sure why. Nearly all of them never talk to me, but I approve most of them anyway. In public I'm polite, but usually keep to myself. I used to have lots of IRL friends, but nowadays my only friends are online. (Mostly MAL members. lol...)

I just hold onto my FRs if I get sent them. It's not like I don't want to be friends with people, rather I don't really know who you are and we can just chat on the forums.

I currently have 5 pending friend requests. I'll ginore them for a couple of months then turn them down. I did that with about a dozen requests last year too. I might accept one if I had a decent talk with the one who sent it. I know 3 out of the 4 on my friend list personally and had a decent argument with the 4th though there were barely any follow-up since then.

I myself never send friend requests, unless I know the person irl.

I'm one pending friend request from reaching 69. I wish people would try talking and getting to know me before sending em, it just feels like a simple quest for having the biggest friendlist as if it were a competition, very silly desu.~

A little shy when it comes to making real life friends, I've also battled with an anti social personality for a while. But social anxiety symptoms are really what brought that on. At heart I am a nice person who would love to make more friends, though I am more inclined to connect and make friends online than I am in real life, due to shyness, and trouble just releasing my thoughts from my mental safe.

Hope you don't mean customer service taking phone calls from morning to late hours at night getting yelled at by most idiot customers who are at fault for not paying their bills on time and making up excuses just so hopefully you'll extend their billing due date and that if ya don't they'll threaten to switch companies and that'll affect your paycheck when it's not your fault until ya have no choice but to quit that job sooner or later.~

"It's nice to be nice!" as that one koopa said in the Mario & Luigi game. I'm generally a friendly and personable fella. Most people can attest to that. It just makes sense to treat people like people, and the way I want to be treated. Okay, I will admit that I have a mean streak, but that's only when someone tries me or someone I care about lol. I'm not the type to start stuff unprovoked.

If by friendly, you mean the amount of friends I have on here... *looks at friend list* yeah, I'm still pretty friendly. Friend request is off though. I don't mind meeting new people and making friends in general, but it'd be nice if we talk first to see if we're compatible as friends. I'm down to talk about anything: doughnuts, writing, travel, music, ethics, waifus, dancing, religion, politics, video games, etc. And I want friends that I can talk to about anything. I like people in general and making connections with them.

But then again, I don't really go out of my way to talk to users on here, lol. Didn't sign up on this site to make friends y'know, but I'm happy I did~

I do not know how to measure niceness. I would like to think I am but obviously not always since my sense of humour though I won't do anything cruel. I think compassion and kindness matter more since niceness is more shallow and evem aweful people can be nice which can be deceptive.

I am a cunt, first off. I am aware of this and I do not mind whatsoever. That's the answer to the thread title.

I also have a couple hundred friend requests I've just let sit without ever responding to, just so they can't send them twice.

I admin an 11,000 member club on this site and we share threads a lot, meaning a lot of people are going to see my name in their notifications, and I'm also decently active on the forums and end up in conflict with a lot of people, meaning I probably end up catching the attention of people who disagree with the person I'm going against. These two things combined make it feel like I get a lot of garbage, random friend requests from people who are never going to talk to me at all about anything.

I also use the stats page on anime DB pages a lot, so I don't like having my friends list clogged with people I don't know. It actively makes that much more difficult and useless, and it's one of the most valuable parts of the DB to me.

I accept randoms when I'm in a good mood and it's done on a whim sometimes, but for the most part I just let them rot in waiting unless I know the person beforehand and, y'know, don't dislike them.

I've been friendlier in the past but some people have ruined that for me IRL by using, taking advantage of, stepping on and hurting me. If ya look at the bright side it's made me colder inside and that's something ya need to make it through this world in the end. I've gotten good at noticing if someone's faking their emotions or not. I tend to not make myself look too nice or they'll take me as someone that says yes to anything nowadays. I treat everyone with equal respect and if they show me a sign of hostility I'll get rough on em and tell em to quit it right off the bat 'cause I've become less tolerant over time. (unless they're the type that loves to fuck around but in an obvious way for shits and giggles)

I can be friendly once I open up, but I would say I'm a pretty avoidant person at first. I feel like I rely on others too much to initiate conversation and I think some people might get offended by that.

I was like that when I was 7 though someone came in and told me to not be afraid to be the one to start a conversation first. They told me that it shows confidence and what not, that the other person will feel like someone noticed them eehee.~

Ps: Konichiwa and thanks for posting on this thread. (loving the different outcomes of the poll so far)

i feel like you can be friendly without necessarily having many friends though... that being said,
i don't think i'm a very friendly person. i can be, but i'm much more likely to recluse or disappear
after a while. and i'm really terrible at preserving my friendships too. but i've been lucky enough to
be blessed with really understanding and patient people who're still willing to give friendship a try.

Normal, I guess. I tend to be polite and helpful to some degree, as long as people don't take advantage of it and if it's accurate to the relationship I have with them. One person I barely know asked me to borrow them almost 300 €. Haha... dear, fuck no, I won't see that money ever again, I guess.
It depends on the person, if I'm friendly, because I don't see the reason why I should consider everyone as a friend (like you said). I don't have the motivation to see them as friends with no reason.
Although I'm polite as long as they are and I also found ways to tell profs and bosses what's on my mind without becoming impolite to them.

I'm at least friendly enough to greet acquaintances and ask how they are when I see them. But when it comes to forming friendships, I'm very careful as to who I open up to. I have extremely strict criteria that must all be fulfilled before I dare call someone a friend.
