When do you consider someone to be a friend?

after we have been through good stuff and bad stuff and still want to be in each other's lives...having a real life history with that human being makes you friends...the word friend has been so overused and whitewashed.

It varies. There's no set rules or anything, it's just the feeling.
Sometimes it takes years, other times it's almost instant.

A very good question. I suppose it's when they feel relaxed in my home and have done me a favour.

When there is trust, honesty, enjoyment of each others company and when we both care about each other. 🤔

When I feel comfortable enough to say what I keep hidden deep down inside.

When I can share most of my thoughts with him or her..

When we call each other names...

When a song reminds me of them

Idk anymore. I never had one in real life no human friends anyway.

When I am able to talk to them about things that are most intimate with me. I aint an easy egg to crack either. 🙂

Good question. Usually, it's when you begin to spend time together in some fashion.
