A super duper close friend
Our journey begins together when we first meet and we start sharing a bit about ourselves, our background and what we enjoy doing. If we find each other interesting enough among other factors, we spend more time together doing common things. If in school, we lunch together, study together and sit for boring lectures together. If in army, we train together, book-out together and play DoTA together. Whatever it is, we have fun and spend time together.
By now, we form what is commonly known as a "clique". Basically, we just stick with each other throughout most activities and even spend time together during our free time. For members of the opposite sex, they probably even call each other when they are home, just before they sleep. We think of each other as the best of best friends.
Then, thinking that we are the best of best friends, I would take interest in the friend's personal life, sharing mine and probing into his. Sometimes, these friends measure up. It's not about how good you are. By now, I have accepted you, knowing some of your strengths and weaknesses. It's about you sharing a deeper part of yourself with me. By sharing your inner thoughts and even your vulnerabilities, I know that you truly trust me and have me as a part of your life. This is when you become my Super Duper Close Friend.
Well, sometimes people fail. This happens when the friend avoids my personal questions and does not share his inner thoughts. Usually, this friend also does not know enough about me or does not care to know about me. As such, our journey may abruptly come to an end through some seemingly small, petty and insignificant issue. The truth is that there are underlying issues that keep us apart. We have had some great times together; but it seems that it has ended.
