Friends - how many do you have, really?

I wonder how many really good friends most people have? What is your need for friends, or are you an introvert who struggles with too much interaction? How long have you known them and how did you become friends? I have moved constantly all my life and have found it difficult to maintain friendships. Also, I think I am naturally introverted and find as I get older I just can't be bothered trying to make new friends. I have been let down in the past by some friends who I trusted, it's made me wary.

I am an introvert who has accidentally acquired a large number of friends - about 20 good friends, at least 10 of whom I'm close with. I'm immensely relieved at the end of the night when I can go home.

My poor fiance probably has about 10ish, in a looser way (no group chats or regular get togethers in a blokish sort of way), even though he's an extrovert.
