Top 5

A game I like to play with friends is, list your top 5 friends.

Usually we exclude spouses and family members.

There is no particular order, nor ranking, although number 1 is usually pertinent.

And a new rule, included for the first time this week (although I do struggle a little with it) is the person can be dead or alive.

On the face of it, this game seems easy, but it isn't at all. Sometimes, we realise we don't actually have five friends, but only three.  Sometimes we want someone on the list, but when we really think about it, the friendship has drifted and doesn't warrant top 5 anymore.

The game can be played often and the names can change, typically the top two don't. They are pretty much lifers.

So who are your top 5 friends?

Are there 5?

Do you have a family friend top 5, a local top 5 and a world top 5?

Or does it come down to the top 5 people anywhere in your life.

  1. I dont like this game. Feels mean. Why do we have to rank and select in friendship?

  2. And to clarify if course does not imply mean for you to play it I just personally would not want to play!
    Reminds me too much of when my dad would rank us 1-3 based on the days behaviour
