In my opinion, a friend to me is someone who you feel comfortable with and can have a conversation with. A friend is someone who you have a emotional connection with. I don't have a lot of friends, mainly online friends and "workmates". I've had "friends" talk nastily behind my back and I wish I had a friend who'd not talk bad about me. If I'm THAT bad why be my friend? Don't be my friend because you feel sorry for me.
