Yeah the whole friendship thing is a mystery to me too. When is a person a friend and not just an acquaintance. I suppose if you keep them close, even if you move or change job. In that case all I've ever had are acquaintances. My fault as much as theirs maybe. So you're not alone in wondering this. The persona and vibes we think we give out could be totally different to what people actually perceive. I actually think I am too nice and too friendly. Maybe that comes across as weak and needy nd that turns people off.
