Observation

Sometimes there’s more objectivity and clear headed thinking from those who observe from more of a distance.

Most of the people I've known have been acquaintances. Some I've wanted to be good friends.

I've had good friends that only lasted a meal, more the life that goes along with the career I chose. I seriously don't know how to make "friends". People who want to spend time with me are very few and far between

O, definately...u never know who'll have ur back!

I think that's one way they become close friends. You're fortunate to have acquaintances like that.

Have you returned the care and encouragement?
