Everyone interprets "friendship' differently, but to me, this is what it means.
(the bracket is how many of that type of friends I have haha)
- Acquaintances (A lot)
- People that you can along well with, but you don't really see them outside of the context. You guys talk about more casual topics, but usually, it doesn't go any deeper than that. Let's say classmates or schoolmates?
- Friends (A number of them)
- For me, it's people that I share common interests with or like have fun together. This connection with each other and all the nonsense you guys talk about. Usually you talk in a group, it can become awkward if you guys are alone together. You guys do hang out sometimes and stuff. You may know a bit about each other's lives but you all don't usually don't touch with feelings. I mean like you do rant to each other and stuff but not talk about deep shit haha, like "I don't even know why I feel so lost now when I've lost my whole life" but more like "Omg school is just t.e.r.r.i.b.l.e, only please? I kinda like rolled down the stairs while trying to get to class and there was dude who was totally judging me?" Yup.
-Stuck in between/ Transitioning (3)-
- Good friends (4)
- You're very comfortable with being alone with just that person. Sure you can loads of fun with them, but you all can also talk about deeper feelings. When you're feeling upset, you know that they'll be there to listen to you. Their shoulder is always there for you to cry on. They know quite a lot about your life. How your family is like, what makes you happy and sad, and everything. There's this mutual understanding. You can tell when they're sad even though they're smiling outside. Just by looking at each other, you know what they're thinking about (it's like this hidden communication thingy hehe). You guys prolly have this "place" where you guys love hanging out at the most. Sometimes when you all don't feel like doing anything special, you just be like "see you at that place" and both of you know what it is.
- Best friend (1)
- This is like an add on from 'good friends'. Some people might have many best friends, but to me, best friend means one and only one. This person is special and means a lot to you. A soul mate, is what it is. It's like they're a part of you, and this person knows almost everything about your life. You know that even if the whole world is against you, this person will still be there with you. They'll be that little voice that says 'I believe in you". Silence can be comforting, and not awkward, unlike the others. You guys can not say a word, but still be enjoying the silence. Watching movies at home and doing random stuff together like acting as if you're horses and neighing while galloping. You can be silly in front of them and not being afraid that they'll judge you or anything.
"A stranger stabs you in the front. A friend stabs you in the back. A boyfriend stabs you in the heart. Best friends poke each other with straws." Best friend: someone you can only stay mad at for so long because you have something important to tell them. This person is like your mother, sibling and lover all at the same time. They care, love and protect you. There's so many other things I'll prolly never finish listing :) but you get it right haha
Friendship means a lot to me, and even if we are not that close, I still genuinely care about you, really :)
