Sorry but people who I met 1 time will do that. That has nothing to do with friendship for me. I keep mentioning that this is probably different for different people. But that (borrow tools or help out with whatever) really is something literally everyone, even complete strangers, do here.
- rakejake 5y agoMaybe a close friend is someone who you can confide in about an icky physical or mental condition, like a genital wart or clinical depression? With material comfort and at the stage of life I am in, it is less likely to need your friend's help whereas in the past, simply providing monetary help to someone in distress was a good indicator of a reliable friend.
