Who is really your friend? Is your neighbor your
friend? Your colleague? Your twitter followers? Facebook friends?
How do we
conclude that someone is a friend? Where do we draw the boundaries around friendship? And before all that how do we even make
friends? And why? Just to stave off loneliness or is there more to it? Is there
an evolutionary continuity, a primal need?
I am collecting and sharing stories about friends and
friendships. Reading books, essays, journal articles. Then viewing all this in
the light of my experiences with the hope of getting a better understanding of
the process of befriending.
Here I share some of my reflections on befriending.
