Friendship, this word literally meant nothing at the beginning of time like any other word, however, it was made up & giving meaning, and I am here to not only share with you the meaning, but to give you the full specs on the topic.
Friendship is a companion, male, female, animal, or soon be A.I., it doesn’t matter, but this companion has a connection with you mentally, and sometimes can be looked at as if they are your family. You share information with them you normally keep secret to others, even family & spouses, you enjoy their company to relax or have a conversation with, and sometimes enjoy the occasional drink together at a bar or restaurant. When you fall down on your luck, they are there to help you up & vice versa, and depending on the person, you invite them to some special events, but other than that you invite each other to parties, social, or drinking. If you both find your moments alone to be boring, you walk together anywhere to receive fresh air or go jogging if you work out, and sometimes you may find yourselves at the mall being mall rats.
However, in this day & age, Friendship can be defined in so many technical ways, and I am going to show you in order from Best to Lesser.
Best Friend, the friend you talk on the phone & hang in public with most, first person to call you about something major, they know your family pretty well, and even get along with them. Someone you can split food with or buy for, play a video game together, see a movie together in theatres, and it not be weird. Someone you have complete faith in & respect as they do unto you, someone you can have an open conversation & none hostile debates with, and someone you can talk to about anything. Someone you can count on if there is an emergency or you’re in a jam as you would do unto them, someone you can confidently loan money to & know they will pay you back, and vice versa. Someone you can invite to family events, weddings, funerals, and who you would make best man/maid of honor at your wedding. Last but not least, someone who would take a bullet for you, or donate on organ, and as you would do for them.
Family Best Friends, friendships & family are technically 2 separate categories, but in some rare cases they can mix. Example being, if 2 specific people in my life had lived to this very day, they would be my family, and best friends. My grand father Joseph Lail, and my Mother’s friend Rhonda Bussell. Joseph treated me as if I was his own when I was a child, and I know for certain we would be best friends. As for Rhonda, she has always been an aunt to me, watched me when I was a child, and occasionally had conversations with me growing up when Mom wasn’t around.
Good Friend, the friend you talk to somewhat moderate on the phone or internet, you never really get to see them either because of work, school, moved, or already lives far away. They know your family somewhat, but most scenarios are usually 50%, if they do know your family, it’s most likely Mom or Dad, and sometimes Siblings. You do trust them, and you respect them & vice versa, but there are times you will doubt & feel bad for that. Someone you enjoy having their company when you rarely see them, you can have open conversations with, but you watch carefully for certain topics at times so you don’t offend them. Depending on the emergency, they are someone you can call if there are no others, and someone you invite to a birthday party or house party.
Co-Workers & Class Mates, these are people you see sometimes everyday, same area, sometimes lunch, and sometimes during break. Because of rules & regulations, there are some topics you cannot speak of within the walls of work or school, you very carefully watch what you say, so you don’t offend someone, or end up paying for it with punishment, but if your on break & alone, and you know & trust them enough it’s okay. Depending, it could be someone who would go out for a beer or some food after work or school, go to a party with you on a random weekend, and maybe a concert if you have the same taste in music. Someone who can spot you change if your short a little on buying food, who has your back on an assignment or major project, and offers you assistance on an assignment, or a ride home. Depending, after you leave school or you quit/lost your job, you may continue a friendship with this person, or you may not, it varies.
Lesser Friends, someone you don’t see very often, you either run into them on the street, or they want to add you to their friends online. Your trust in each other is thin, but of course no one admits that, and you mainly have conversations about what’s going on your life. They are someone you are okay with in a group discussion or a party; you remain unattached to this person, and mainly have them around for some chuckles & whatever. They are technically considered drinking buddies if you only drink with them at the same bar, or at someone’s party. If you move away, this is someone you can easily forget about guilt free, and move on.
