But it is still true
The friends I had from before and even the friends I have now
I can never appreciate new concepts with them
I have stagnated, reaching the limits of the intellectual friendship
So am I friends with the people before because I am willing to help them when the reach out for assistance?
Or am I not friends with them because Iâd do that regardless of if I had engaged with them significantly before?
Am I friends with someone because I am honest with them? That I am real with them?
Is any of that true?
you are

itâs crazy how i can be asked to not sleep in a specific place in my own house by my friend who lives here and i donât get angry over it or anything
I desire to overthink it
I have already formulated a position that works for all use cases
You are godâs greatest pushover. ive never seen you set a boundary
For me
Friends are âpeople I can ramble around without feeling incredibly embarrassed by the sheer notion of doing soâ

It is a feeling
It has boundaries, but lacks codified rules
It functions for all use cases
i honestly really like this definition
i think friends are the middle of the venn diagram between
-people you genuinely do care for
-people you enjoy being around both during and after conversation with them

âcareâ implying some greater connection because some people care about everyone

i consider friends lots of things
itâs strange idk how to describe it
my intellectual difficulty with friendship stems from this
All people are my friends but I wouldnât call them my friends
Now that my overstimulation comes to a relative close
All that which was confusing and frustrating becomes simple
It really was just that easy
I just made it out to be the world

Branding a fictional ideology as some âgroupâ makes life all the easier to rationalize doesnât it
All the things you despise can simply be cast down as wrong and corrupt
my theology teacher junior year (I think geyde would really, really, really like this guy. He reminds me a lot of geyde in many ways)
had like 2 levels of âfriendsâ.
-People you genuinely love and care on some deeper level and who feel the same way about you
-People who you keep the relationship with because it benefits you in some way by having it (including people you are only around because you have a similar sense of humor, etc, etc)
and the way he described it really made me re-evaluate my friendships and helped me get out of a toxic friendship

it was probably the most impactful discussion I had in that class in terms of new perspectives I left with
