I have had the same 15ish friends for more than 20 years and we live in different cities, a few hours away from each other.

We don't see each other frequently because of the distance, but we usually spend weekends together and it feels like we have not missed a beat since the last time we saw each other.

I think it is natural to have more than 10 close friends, it is like having a small community, but modern life made it very hard to keep close friends like that. And it sucks.
