So this is probably the start of my blogging life.Okay on to the post.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;So as the title says, Friends will be the topic. Not 'friends, friends' but it's about my view on the three categories of friends. Namely, Friends, Close friends and Best friends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;"&gt;________________________________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;To be honest, I am a bit of an introvert&amp;nbsp; and also a bit of a paranoid. I have a lot of acquaintances and a few friends. Well, I call people a 'friend' when I've been with him/her for quite some time&lt;/span&gt;(&lt;span style="color: lime;"&gt;maybe a month or two&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;except in some cases when I feel attached to the person. I don't easily get attached to a person. It happens rarely so once I feel attached to the person, I know I treat him/her as a friend. A friend to me is someone you feel attachment to. You feel close to this person. You spend time wit this person and never get bored. Friends may shout your name and run towards you when you meet them outside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Close friends aren't just friends whom you tell secrets to. They are friends in a higher status but still lower than Best Friends. Close friends are those who you are always with but you never get tired of them. You may repeat the same joke a hundred times but you would still laugh at it. They are who you consider as family. You can tease each other a lot and still be close to each other. It's your attachment for each other. Others may say that these activities are done by Best friends but I have a different view for Best friends. Close friends are the ones you cherish and treasure.You want them to be a part of your life and they already are. They can make you feel important and accepted. You call each other by nicknames and you could laugh by just saying one word. You trust them and you are willing to give everything for them. That's what a close friend to me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;A Best friend is, like the term says, your BEST-EST friend out of your friends. A Best friend to me is someone who you want to spend your whole life with. Not by marrying them but by being the best of friends until you die. I can accept that a close friend is a best friend of mine when I've just been with them for a short time but I feel like I knew them since the day I was born. They are the ones you love. You can say 'I Love You' to a close friend or a friend but once you say it to a Best friend, you can feel sincerity. Best friends do whatever it takes to be close to each other if possible. They know every secret you have.You can be rude to each other most of the time but you still be Best friends. Sometimes teasing each other is the very best way to show&amp;nbsp; how close they are. The things you do with a close friend are also things you do with a best friend. I can understand why others marry their best friends. It's because you trust them completely. You would trust your life to them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--more--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;~Uh. Okay. So that ends my blog. So to make things clear, I put my views about Friends, Close friends, and Best friends. It's my own opinion and it is how I see it. It is based on my experience and stuff. I also used the experience of some Close Friends of mine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4204445732658915469-3746122512813375881?l=lonesomesmiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lonesomesmiles.blogspot.com/feeds/3746122512813375881/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lonesomesmiles.blogspot.com/2011/10/three-categories-of-friends.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4204445732658915469/posts/default/3746122512813375881'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4204445732658915469/posts/default/3746122512813375881'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lonesomesmiles.blogspot.com/2011/10/three-categories-of-friends.html' title='Three categories of friends'/><author><name>LonesomeSmiles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05477905876634265917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='16' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ft1T5h6YIM/Tq0E2jb7oxI/AAAAAAAAABE/us-Km58TQj0/s1600/abstract.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
