He wasn't saying use what >>2508216 as an example of how to define friends, he was using it as an example that it's up to you how you define friends.

You have to make your own choices on who you consider good friends and who you consider acquaintances. Obviously someone who doesn't know who you are isn't much of a friend. I spend time watching anime with one guy every week, and play online games with several others every day. And that's not even counting the random times we all hang out around somewhere and watch a movie or something. Those are the ones I define as my true friends.

Basically you have do define your friends how you think you should.

Then I think I'll have to say 1 since he even invites me to places every now and then. It's a bit difficult though since I'm generally a very closed person.

This numbering thing makes me feel a bit guilty though since there are some people who verbally considered me a friend in the past and I don't know if they still consider me one. I kind of understand that it's me that needs to decide, but it still makes me a bit uneasy. I wish people didn't call me friend; things would be much easier that way.

I think the people consider people they dont know too well friends are usually the ones who have many friends so they don't normally have really close friends (to which many of us would consider real friends).

People like us who don't have many close relationships with friends probably have a much more narrow standard of what we consider friends, since we don't have many social interactions.

None of these are questions, so I'll elaborate instead of reading.

For most frats pledging doesn't involve goats or anything like that. It's usually all about letting you bond with your brothers by making you spend some time together, in a completely wholesome manner. None of your bros will make fun of you or anything because you all went through pledging together. That bonding shit actually happens. Also, each frat has a personality of its own. For most of you I'd suggest finding the frats that are academically oriented.

My initiation? Well, I'm anonymous so I'll tell you all.
First? I had to go beer for beer with my older brother at a party.
Next? A little game. If an older brother tagged you they'd owe you a beer and give you a quarter, but then take you to the edge of town. You need to get back on your own. It was actually pretty fun. If the pledges teamed up four of us could tag out a senior member, or if we got all of us we could tag out the president.
The final thing was that all of the pledges made a team in the greek olympics and had to complete in a number of completely kosher events. I'm falling behind on my reading so I'm going to read a bit then finish writing about pledging.

Lock yourself in your room and start your own. First rule: no one other than yourself is allowed in.

This is getting gay.

>> No.2508787

about 10 really good friends, about 15-20 people i would hang out with outside of work/school
and about 50 people who will stop to talk to me if they see me in public
and a fiancee'

so i expect my good friend circle to tighten, and more people to go into the "loose friend" category which sucks but oh well

The closest thing I have to friends is a tripfag who many people here seem to hate and his friend. They're good people, but it'd be less awkward to say I have no friends than to say I only have online friends.
