Its meant as a broad question as i would like some diverse input.
I have an “unfit” and rigid ruleset of how i define friends and how someone can be one.
It roots in my insecurities and want a starting point to redefine it in a healtier way.

    I think I have a lower threshold for saying “my friend” than for actually considering someone my friend. I think I have a lot of friendly acquaintances. People that I spend time with because we have some things in common (usually my hobby groups). Friends are the people that reach out to me, or that I reach out to for reasons outside of our initial reason for contact.
