What is the definition of a friend?
acquaintance-yes, I have a loot of those from school, church, and other places:
someone who knows your name, and shared some kind of experience with, and may or may not smile when they see you
ish-friend-yes, I have some of those from cross-country and church:
someone who likes to talk to you occasionally and you have something in common with them
sometimes-freind-yes, I have a handful of those:
someone who has hung out with you at least once in the past year aside from the place where you know from
friend-maybe, I might have these, but only 2 or 3:
someone who likes to hang out with you (means more than 1 time) and has asked you to hang out with them without being prompted
good-friend-no, I haven't had one of these for a long time:
someone who likes to hang out with you at least once a month, last time was in 10th grade thru 8th that I had a group I hung with
best-friend-no, I haven't had one since 7th grade:
someone who knows your dreams and fears, who likes spending time with, and you could call at 2 in the morning
If that isn't a good explanation, I don't know what is.
And nobody can go through life without an acquaintance.
Most people have ish-friends, aside from severely impacted people
I doubt that people can't have sometimes-friends, but I don't know people's lives.
People can go without friends, it happens.
And so on and so forth.....
