But you find some of these deplorable people engaging (possibly even fun and interesting), right? Interesting how varied (imho, high) our standards are for another human being. Fun and interesting is enough for me, we don’t need to be best friends. We can be some semblance of friends. Or is that asking for too much as well? Anyways, I agree with you. The drop in friendships can’t be fucking tracked because everyone has their own idea of what it means.

<< The drop in friendships can’t be fucking tracked because everyone has their own idea of what it means. Exactly. And all this is before we even get to differences in languages and cultures. In the old country, word friend has very different connotations when compared to US equivalent. There it is basically reserved for the highest level of US version of the word. In US the world covers a whole range of social affinities. << Interesting how varied (imho, high) our standards are for another human being. This is why being a kid has its benefits. You have X? We are best friends now. As you get older, possession of item X is a very sucky proxy for a good relationship.
