an acquaintance is someone u are forced to hang out
I wouldn't say you necessarily have to be forced to hang out with them but maybe they are more just someone you know but do not know very well.

a friend is someone u can hang out with without feeling weird. Or at least I think so. And I have a few real friends online they help more then irl friends lmao
I do agree a real friend you are comfortable being who you are and yeah I have a lot of online friends that know me very well and some are better than people I call friends IRL

friend is so ubiquitous it's almost a pronoun. like 'you'.
did you cringe, because you thought I misused it? 'I like you, I love you, I want to be your friend?' I was actually downgrading from a 'girlfriend.'
I have a couple 'true' friends myself, yeah, we try not to bother each other either. if it's so easy to talk, why don't we?
Is it history that grants the certificate of authenticity? I'm not even the same person, most of their stories are useless. you probably know me better than they do.
friend can be a small word or a big word. acquaintance is definitevely small. -
@Janet @Eucalyptus yes you can have real 'friends' you meet online ššš

In my case, my best friend is like my sister. I love her to death and we rarely talk. When we do reconnect its like old times with the same inside jokes. We may not know everything currently happening in our lives but its the past and the connection in our hearts that keeps us close friends.

A true friend imo would be someone u can talk anything without having any second thought.
While reading ur topic I remembered a sentence I read years ago. you tell ur funny stories to ur friend, and best friends are in those stories (smt like this). Ig they meant acquaintance for friend and best friend for "true" friends.
I don't have much experience in this case. Since I lost my "true" friends . If I had one š -

Also forgot to say, I realized I stopped asking "can u be my friends?" Years ago. And I didn't tried to not say it.
Lol and whenever I said that then I stopped talking with those after a week or two -
