What are some of the reasons why you categorize some friends as close and others as acquaintances? My guess is your close friends are people that you can depend on, they are accountable, they always pull up for you when you need them, they keep their word and they sometimes sacrifice for you and put your needs ahead of theirs.
So, I asked myself what kind of friend is Alieh to Alieh? Can I depend on her, does she always come through for me, Is she accountable? The answer I got was Alieh is not a close friend of Alieh. But how is this possible?
