I'm having a hard time wording what I think is a simple concept in a simple way, but: Someone who wants to go out of their way just to talk to you. Intended to exclude: -When talking to you is a means to some end (business, planning, getting help). -Talking to you just because you're already there (e.g. talking with whoever happens to be on the Skype group at the moment, work environment, classroom). I find I don't know many people who do this. |

I would add that its someone you feel comfortable with, that's what raises them from an acquaintance to a friend for me. There are plenty of people I talk to in my office who I like, but don't consider to be my friend. I guess it's kind of like you say about talking to you because you're there, but sometimes I would count people like that as friends. I mean that's how I've made a lot of my friends by talking to whoever was around and I wouldn't say that going out of our way to hang out was the thing that made them friends. It's something else; a connection or understanding that makes you feel comfortable and accepted. |

It's hard to say. You could have loads of 'friends' but they aren't all going to be on the same tier. A best friend would be a co-op partner and a tag team member to me. |

A real friend, for me, is someone who you know incredibly well, and who knows you incredibly well, as simple as that. |

For me a friend is someone who has been there when I really needed someone. I donīt believe there are "tiers" to friendship, just different circumstances, I have friends that I love to play videogames with and friends that are awesome companions for just drinking coffee and talk about our lives, friends that give awesome advice and friends that make me feel useful because they ask me for guidance, but I donīt think thereīs a real "best friend" that fulfills all those roles. But I think that one of the most important thing about friendship is caring for others |

I think you can't be so close with an enemy without becoming a #FriendlyEnemy |

Fun fact: one of my closest friends originally was my personal bully, he used to steal my stuff and once he put ants in my shirt, fun times |

I've never really had anyone I would call a friend, and I normally don't label people outside of the family. So my concept of it.... isn't one really. I've just never really bothered with it, but I guess it's just someone to hang out with and stuff. :| |

Do you not want to make friends? It can be nerve wracking at first to become comfortable with someone enough to call them a friend (at least it is for me, I always think I'm saying the wrong thing or making a bad impression), but there are loads of benefits. Sure you could put it as just someone to hang out with, but they can also be someone to confide in, someone to introduce you to things you never knew you were interested in, to make you see the world in a different way. Do you have people you talk to and stuff, but just don't think of as friends? Or do you mean that you tend to avoid socialising outside of your family? Do you go to marathons on your own? |

If I had friends I'd define it for you. Instead I'll throw a dictionary at your face. Gently. With love. T-that's what friends do, r-right? |
