a friend that will never leave your side and be next to you for ever and after no matter what. but the word friend i use is some one that is nice and caring so i use it very loosely
No one is even considered a friend until they are close enough to be a family member. Best friends are even more important than that.. it's typically hard to befriend me.
um i dunno i guess....hmmmh, well my dad always says friends are the ones who will back you up until the end, but perhaps thats not correct, coz there are fake friends. all i know is that you will only ever have very few 'FRIENDS' and many many aqaintances........
A friend is someone who's close enough to you that they feel comfortable telling you secrets, and you can tease them without hurting their feelings, and trust each other with locker combinations. And they'll always be there for you. :)
I don't use the term loosely at all. I seriously have to trust someone to call them a friend. Otherwise they're just "that kid in my one class" or "this one girl I know." I don't befriend people easily, so for me to actually consider someone a friend takes a lot.
It's funny you ask this though because this distinction was made very clear to me a few days ago. I was joking around with this guy and I said "I'm an awful person." He goes, "yeah, I don't know why I'm friends with you." I sort of just choked a little, because I would definitely consider him an acquaintance, not a friend. But people clearly have different standards when it comes to calling someone a 'friend.' I really think it's an introvert vs. extrovert sort of thing. Extroverts are more likely to call people their friends, while it takes more for introverts to call people their friends.
Pretty loosely. I don't have to hang out with someone a lot to consider them a friend, I just have to like talking to them and they have to put up with me haha. ^-^
I never use the word "friend" so loosely.
I use words like aquaintances and such...
You'll know who your friends are when you "fall hard"...that's when you look up to see who's still there...
Although, that's just my confusing interpetation.
Pretty loosely. If I know your name and we're on friendly terms, you're a friend. So I have quite a few friends, but very, very few "close friends" (read: my best friend and my immediate family).
Not very loosely. I don't befriend everyone. I trust alot of people but they all had to earn my trust. I analyze them. I try to understand them. I learn their zodiac sign and I do quite a bit of research to discover what not to do and what to do when interacting with them. I'd use acquaintances alot but if I truly have a problem with you then you are not even an acquaintance. Not to mention I am secretive as well and I do not like to open up. What takes me to consider someone a friend varies. It varies for every person. I thought someone was a friend but she honestly wasn't. 99% of the time I choose my friends wisely and if that's 1% a douche gets through to me they go out the same way they came from. I am an introvert and an extrovert. As much as I am friendly with some people I do not call everyone friend. I don't even consider members of my family to be very close to me. And that's my family imagine someone isn't related to me. If you're a friend of mine. Just know that I will highly respect you. One of the reasons I will respect you is because you made me notice you when so many people hasn't.
