There is an age old saying that goes: you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family.
Technically I don't think it's that accurate. I would say we gravitate towards people we "click" with. We don't choose our friends- not consciously any way- we are just attracted to certain qualities or personalities. I won't waffle on. As a person who has found themselves "In Between friends" I would be interested to know peoples opinions on the forums. Mental health issues really tests the fragile ties of friendship.
