COMPARISON :
When you see each other, a friend will just approach you with their hi, hello and walk away. This is because a friend is someone you only know maybe by mutual friend. You both only know your names but not actually your stories. Unlike best friends, when you see each other, there will be time that they’ll be hurting you/pulling you before asking how are you doing for that day.
If you have argument with your friend, you think about friendship is over because for you they’re just nothing in your life. For you, you’re losing nothing when you lose a friend. Not because you’re not a good person but because they’re just not that close/important to you unlike your best friends. And if you and your best friends had a fight, you don’t think of losing the friendship but rather, you think about how you are going to fix it just to make everything’s alright because you don’t want to lose one another.
A friend always expects you to be there in times when they need you. They only remember you when they need something on you. They will only approach you when they’re asking you for a favor. Unlike your best friends that always there for you wherever you require. If you need something or nothing, they will always be at your side.
In times you are in moment of sadness, your friend will only know when you are sad but not the reason why. Because you’re not that comfortable to tell to them what your problem is. You will tell it to your best friends whom you’re trusting because they will be forcing you to tell everything to them because they care so much on you.
A friend will be calling you “FRIEND”. That’s so common. For me, those who are calling me “friend” are those people who are only there when they need me. But if they have nothing to ask me for a favor or what, for sure when we see each other, they will just approach me with their Hi, Hello and will walk away after. But if your best friends? They will call you “BAKLA” or anything weird they want.
Contrast:
Even they have differences, they still have something common. And that is, wherever it is a friend or best friend, still they’re both human and created by God.
