Friends

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.

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]

Pretty much this.

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.
