Another thought on this is that these people you call friends aren't really friends, they are nothing more than work acquaintances & that doesn't equal friends.

Friends are people you call to chat with things going on in your life about. Friends are people who you get together to celebrate things that happen in their lives or get together to give support when bad things happen. There to give them a hand when they need help with something in their lives & they give you a hand when there is something that you need help with.......that is true friendship. Chatting at the office with them is nothing more than being a work acquaintance & that has NOTHING to do with friendship.
