What is a "friend" to you?

MendaciousMarxist

If anyone needs a friend to talk, listen or give words of encouragement, you have my permission to DM me. They say as you get older, the shift to calling everyone a "friend" vs. acquaintance becomes more clear. There are those that are dear to me, that I'd do anything for, and there are those who I'm just okay with then existing. I think I need the definition of friend vs acquaintance.

I would organize it like this

stranger: We've talked maybe twice monthly

acquaintance: we've talked maybe once a week or have done the equivalent

Friend: we've probably talked every other day and know the basics about eachother

close friend: we talked every other day if not everyday and know each other like siblings

best friend: I have adopted you as a sibling and you are the one non-relative that knows me better than my actual family.

how about for you?
