>what counts as friends?

literally whatever you want. you want more. so what you have now is probably not friends. but they are potential friends.

i moved around a LOT. i went to five highschools. at school i seemed rather popular, but i was rarely ever invited to something outside of class. at my fifth and final school, senior year, i had no one invite me til about december. at which point i said 'hey i just broke up with my gf and have nothing to do on the weekends, you guys want to hang out?'

and i immediately became part of their little group. people arent always going to know to ask you to hang out. but if they are worth hanging out, inviting yourself / them to do it isn't going to end it.

dont be afraid to 'lead' the group. eventually they pick it up.

recently i had to make some new friends, went to anime parties, traded numbers, and it ws like pulling teeth to get a gang together. BUT NOW, they assume we hang out weekly and invite me to various events as well.
