Pure curiosity

I have 224 friends apparently, not sure how. I don't talk to most of them. I know a few irl and we speak other ways, rarely on Steam. And quite a few are business contacts or things related to Steam group works.

Honestly, I'm on Steam to play games, not make friends. I'm not against talking to people but it's not my goal.

I have exactly 100, and I try to keep that as the max number. About 25 of those are alt accounts of people I know, ~15 I know in real life, other people I meet in different places around the internet. With someone of them I basically never talk or haven't talked to in a while, with some of them I talk on daily bases, some of them I know for longer that I have my Steam account.

i don't have much friends in steam, i try to not get people i don't know or don't play with. i have 12 friends in steam, i know 5 of them in real life, i know some of the others for years, and when i communicate with them its either on skype or phone or real life. Sometimes i get a friend request from someone, i just add them in case they want to talk about somethnig, but they generally never asked anything so after a few weeks i delete them if there is no sign of contact.
Truth be told some of the "random" people i met on internet were, and are, better friends than many people i met in real life.

28 on my list, only one of them I know irl(a childhood friend who i recently regained contact with). Nearly all of them are from one group that I took a liking too, unfortunately due to timezones I never got to participate in any of the game sessions and it's become pretty quiet since, but I do sometimes talk with a few of them, they're a friendly bunch.
Ninja Edit: I also have 1 friend from here on sg too, a very kind person imo.

15 out of 39 I know in real life and the others are are all from here other than one from an achievement hunting group. I'd like to have more for general gaming, co-op, and achievement hunting but I'm not very chatty online and don't use any chat rooms so never actually meet anyone. Doh!

34 friends, 10 that I know personally and the rest from games where we played together. :)

Few ppl, mostly because i interacted with them at some point

Very few of those i interact from time to time

Like 2 real life friends i think

397 Friends on steam, around 10 of them I speak a few times per week (not including IRL friends) and around 20-30 people I know from IRL.

Friendlist: 95
Tradebots: 4
Friends from real life: 18
People I really interact: 26 (I just check)

Some people I added to trade purposes, other because of steamgifts. Others add me to know about my country etc...

Most of the 513 are just trade buddies or some random people who added me for some plays, but I guess I have about 10 real friends on my list.

I have one friend but he doesn't like to be disturbed when playing or otherwise

Yes i have many friends on steam and i talk to many of them in private chats. some are good friends of mine now.

I have quite a few, but most of them were from one game. Now that I don't play that game anymore, I only chat with a few of them. It's clearly time to make some more!

48, but i talk only with 2!!!!

48 out of 640 available spots.
Some of them (about 10) I know personally, but sadly no regular chatting 😐

40 even so far, some are family, some dev friends, and some really cool people from here.

If I would, I only want you as my one and only friend :D

91 friends, very few are real friends, some are from clans in other games many are just randoms from SG groups. I talk to no one through steam. But that's because I really hate steams chat interface. I don't talk to many outside steam either though.. :D

I don't have a single real friend in Steam

I got 828 and I talk with kinda about 20 on pm's everyday. I got about 10 people on my friendslist that I know from real life. I also hang out in 8 steam group chats but I guess some of those I talk with there would be beside the point since not all of those are on my friendslist... Same with all the discords im on.

I often get complains from people about how many people that are on my friendslist and people making statements like "There is no way that you talk with everybody on your friendslist everyday".

I have simply been part of alot different stuff like gaming communities, alot of different groupchats and so on. Since I still am at it I get friendrequests ever so often from people(Not counting scammers and traders). There have ofcourse been times when Ive left a community and dont talk anymore to some people. But since I have had good chats at some points with these people then I dont really see a reason to remove them. I do however send like "Merry christmas" comments on their profiles and such.

I know many still would not consider such people "friends" worthy of their friendslist. But I dont take my steam friendslist that personal.

I have 257 friends according to steam but they're mostly from different games I have played over the years and people from trading (to make it easier) I talk to some every now and then but in reality there's really only one I very frequently talk to. All online friends.

from my 13 steam friends, 11 are my real life friends, and 2 are traders that were really nice. I do not see a point of having 100+ friends one does not know or talk with... also, I do not like spam on activity page (which is set as my default window).

41 so far around 10-15 are people i know in real life rest are people i meet in games over time and we stay in touch its always nice to meet new people but i dont like to have 1000 friends that i dont communicate with no need to communicate everyday but occasionally :)

43, always searching for more friends :D
I had much more, but I started removing people who aren't responding or msg me for a month, I want to keep actual friends ;p
