Where I'm from we call those people friends. Family is reserved to those who are willing to actively make a sacrifice for you when you are in need.
- SergeAx 5y agoSocial networks and Facebook in particular are deteriorated term "friend". For me people I can get "don't worry, everything will be fine" type of support are pals, not friends. Gotta try to figure out the difference between real friends and family, but sounds like they are mostly the same, except we may loosen contact with friends, but remain in tight with family.
- smoe 5y agoI'd absolutely make sacrifices for friends and vice versa. Much more so than any relative that is not my direct family with whom I don't have any relationship beyond happening to be somewhat close on a family tree. It just seems, that the word friendship has been watered down a lot.
