I have 3 best friends. One I've known since I was 6 and the other 2 I met through work post college.

The rest of my friends I still keep up with are all from college.

That's the truth. Most civilians would be shocked at the level of oversharing that takes place on deployment.

I'm lucky that I'm still close with my small group of friends from high school but the two friends I talk to the most are the ones I met in my last years of college.

I went to a bunch of schools before the two high schools I went to, but my best friends are and will always be the ones I met in high school. The same few have put up with me for this long and not bailed. It can only get better from here, right?

I sporadically lost and got back those ones over the years, but they've always had my back when SHTF

I've known my 4 best friends since we were in elementary school. We've been through it all and I'd take a bullet for them

I've picked up life-long friends at every stage in my life--high school, military, college, work. Sadly they're starting to die off at an alarming rate.

It depends on what stage of life you are in when you make your best friends. Duh.

College/military. Unless you're from New Orleans, then it's you homoerotic Catholic high school buddies.

My best friend I've known since kindergarten.

Most of my closest friends I hang out with regularly are from high school.

I am an awful friend. If I don't actually see you, I do nothing to keep in touch. I hate the phone calls "What's going on, how have you been?" It feels fake. I have one best friend of 20+ years that no matter how long we go without talking, we pick right back up. I guess one is all the effort I can make. Met her when I was 11.

It really just depends. Pretty much every friend I have I knew I've known from high school or earlier. I fully realize that isn't the norm though probably. My best friend for life I met in HS. The next 2 or 3 in my closest circle I've known from around that time as well. Of the 10 or so people that I would legit call serious, really close, lifelong friends I've known anywhere from HS down to age 7.

Yep. Met my best friend in kindergarten. All of my closest friends are from elementary school and we are all close today(about 10 of us.) I have two good friends from high school. Another good friend is my business partner although he won't admit it

Middle school through high school. Those are the ones that will go out of their way to help you, for me anyways.
