The word 'friend' is really abused these days (guess because of Facebook etc) and people are somehow falling for it. Seems it's becoming quite common (in my circles anyway) that people use the term friend for basically everyone they ever talked or wrote to and 'good friend' for people they had a deeper than casual talk with. And then the drama after because these 'friends' probably didn't think the same about them (if they even remembered meeting them).
- Akronymus 4y agoI have been called old for using acquaintance a twice. Which feels really weird to me, as I am not that old. ('97) I'd say I have about 3 friends at MOST, altough, more like 1 that I consider to truly be a friend. And I agree, friend is completely misused. On steam, friend means someone you want to be able to contact. On discord its someone you trust (more than regular people) or one you allow to contact you at all (if dms are otherwise turned off) and so on.

- Akronymus 4y agoI probably shouldve written it out. The "'" is kinda hard to see, now that I am looking at it again.
- 0des 4y agoNo I was more surprised that people from 97 are in fact walking and talking adult humans. Time flies. I've got to stop sleeping in Foreverware..

- causi 4y agoMy personal definition of "friend" has always been "someone not in your family you would want to inform if you found out you had cancer." It's served me quite well.
- Akronymus 4y agoId still consider that to be too broad. Something like admitting to, that you have done something criminal,and what, feels closer to the right definition for me.
