That's 100% me. I got into my friend group when I was 16 which consists out of 3 other people. I got like 2 other friends in University and that's it. I do have another friend group left over from my childhood in my hometown, but I Am nowhere near the level of closeness with them than with my other groups.
However in University I did in fact gain quite a lot of connections to people that I wouldn't call friends, but people you hang out with due to us engaging in the same circles. Not that bad to have these circles, but I'm also fine with it.
Wait, theres one more person that I would call my friend and this is someone who I met around last year over Lemmy. Theres also someone that I met through one of my school friends that I would call a friend. With these two I am totaling at 7 very close friends, and 3 semi close friends.
