its hard for me to distinguish a friendship or call something a friendship, especially with people online, mostly because i have a hard time knowing if its a mutual feeling. id just say i have a lot of acquaintances. as for a label like "best friend", im very fond of it because it describes a much more intimate relationship i have with some of my friends, i dont like to throw it around lightly. its also because im kinda sorta afraid? of anybody whos not my best friend regardless if we are friends.🐁
