What does it mean to you for somebody to be a friend?? When does a person stop becoming a friend? When does an acquaintance become one? Whats the diffrence between just a friend and a best friend? Everyone must have different view points on such things. Was just something I was thinking of today, and figured I'd ask you what your answers are SP.

People at my school that I just know and talk too every so often (maybe once a week) I would consider acquaintances. Anything above that is a friend really. If I hang out with you every so often, maybe once a week, talk to you just about everyday, can trust you, and feel comfortable helping with your problems or any worries you have, you're a friend. I only have two real best friends, and I talk to them almost everyday and can talk to them about everything and anything. They've been in my life for several years and I really see there being no problems between the three of us (We're all three best friends with each other).
I really don't like having too many friends, because I have major trust issues after having it pissed on more times than I wanted. So I usually just go about my life and know who my real friends are. A friend really can't irritate me, as I take everything really light-heartily, but if you break my trust or go behind my back on something then eh, no longer can consider you a friend.

Friends: 4 year acquaintances. Turn into co-workers when you get older.
Best-friends: 4+ year acquaintances. Turn into stalkers when you get older.

Oh my god I hate those kids at school who you are nice to just because you are a generally nice person and then they think your their butt buddy.
Friends are people that you talk to after school, hang out with, go see a movie with, etc. Think of it like this. You are going to Disneyland. You can only take 1 person along. Will you take Billy Bob from Math class who you help with homework? Or will you take the guy who you eat lunch with every day.

[COLOR="green"]I have one best friend, who I could pretty much talk with about anything. Me and her have been through quite a lot.
Friends are just people who I would actually go out of my way to talk to or hang out with.
Acquaintances are just people I know and talk to, but don't know further than the time in which I see them.[/COLOR]

Sounds like me. That and people who weren't even friends in the first place forcing me to question what I think of humanity. I have quite a negative view of the human race so try to go about my life trusting as few humans as possible.
That aside, I guess I'd consider those who I talk to outside of class as friends. Best friends though? I'd have no idea actually.
