I have a small circle of "close" friends and a very large circle of people I see often, but I wouldn't necessarily socialize with them or tell them intimate details about my life.

There are different types of friends. There are site-specific friends; those people you hang out with at work or school, but never anywhere else, etc. Of course, it can always transition to another level of friendship over time.

There are acquaintances. Many people like to think they have so many friends, when in all actuality, they are counting friendly acquaintances.

All you really need is one good friend. I have had the same best friend for 28 years. I can call him in the middle of the night to come and look at my pet, and I have done similar for him.

We are more like family than anyone I am related to because we chose each other.

I would say that most of my friends are from work and very trustworthy    a group of 8 or 10 of us would go to dinner at least once a month even after we were retired  and I also have church friends and neighbors before I moved

Exactly. You have work friends, church friends, associate friends, and REAL friends.

No, I can honestly say that I do not have a lot of friends at work that are my "trustables". That description is for close family friends only.

I never trust the people who I have worked with. You think that they are your friend and then you find out later who they really are.  >:(
