Friends?

I have a question. I seem to be getting confused as to how to decipher when someone is your friend or when someone is just your acquaintance. I thought I knew the difference but I seem to be losing the definitions.

Please advise if you know the difference. For the most part I feel that I am friendly with many people but I feel as though they don't return the "friend" vibe. What's up with that?

i have had the same problem over the past few years - people I thought were my friends and then I found out they weren't and I was starting to get a little bitter about human nature...that's when I decided to "clean house" so to speak and decided to get rid of all the phonies and the meanies and anyone else negative in my life and not care about them so much...but just concentrate on the really valuable (but few!) people in my life...so far, it seems to be working...I try not to extend myself to people I don't know very well any more and keep my guard up until I figure them out first...and if it makes you feel better, you are my friend, so don't be confused about that!!

If someone reads your blog and doesn't comment, they are just an acquaintance.
If someone reads your blog and post a comment: friend!
