Let's see *counts* subtract 2, carry the 1...that'd be one.
And it's hard to say if I'm even that close with him (we are just very different in culture and personality). That's 1 friend since 6th grade (I was kinda betrayed in 7th by my long term friends, may have something to do with my history) and finishing up college now. I had some friends in high school but that was more fleeting and we lost touch when we went to seperate colleges so I don't think it was on the level you described.
I have avoidant personality disorder, so that's not surprising. Just remember there's always someone worse off than you
