The number of friends I've had has definitely grown and shrank through my life.
I'm at a stage now where all my friends are pretty much work friends, but I've managed to socialize a fair amount outside of work with them.
Criticism covers a broad range of possibilities and it depends who's giving it and what they're giving it on as to how sensitive I am about it.
In general I don't think I get over emotional or obsessed about it.
I've had experience in my life with really critical people, I suppose that's where having friends is helpful in dealing with very critical people. Because with friends you aren't just relying on one person's judgment and you can run the criticism one person has made about you past some other people who hopefully have some powers of logic and are also honest.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
