If you could classify friends into three different types, what would the be?



Please give a brief description as to each type. I'm doing a paper for school, and I want to get other people's input. Thank you.
Acquaintances - people I work with, know through other friends, members of committees or groups I belong to. These are people I know but do associate with outside of the confines of the source of our meeting. We are 'friendly' but not yet friends.   

Groupies - OK this is not a recognized friendship group but these at the people to me that I spend time with but would not necessarily share my deepest thoughts and hopes with nor would I want to know theirs. This is light and fun based.   

Confidants - People I share my self with who know about me and whom I know all about. These are friends in the truest sense of the word for they are not only people I share time with but people I share everything with and whom I would consider family.
if it's only occasionally, while this is a bit excessive, i'd give him the benefit of the doubt depending on his lifestyle. but if it happens all the time, i'd be asking them why myself. i'd say he only sees you as a friend though at best. i'd be upset if anyone took that long to reply lol. they'd better have their phone turned off or something lol more information: [c++ friend functions](http://www.tutorialspoint.com/cplusplus/cpp_friend_functions.htm) A. It’s difficult to assess the seriousness of this on the basis of only a letter so let me just share a couple of thoughts.

People by nature tend to fall somewhere on a scale from introvert to extrovert. It may be that at least part of this is that you are on the introvert end of the scale. There is nothing wrong with that! But, the larger culture celebrates extroverts. In high school, the general idea is that everyone is supposed to be outgoing and popular. Of course, not everyone can be. Not everyone wants to be. So let’s at least assume that part of what goes on is that you have a more restrained approach to life. One thing that supports this is that you do have a couple of close friends and that seems to be enough for you.

As for being out with others: I wonder if you have developed the skills you need to be comfortable out in the social world. Introverts can and do learn how to manage social situations enough so that they can be successful in their careers and can find loving relationships. Notice that I said “skills”. Skills are behaviors you can learn (like how to make small talk, how to be an active listener, how to be a good communicator, etc.). As you get more practiced in these skills, you will be more comfortable being with people for longer periods of time. But you will still need your alone time to “recover” from a lot of social interaction.

The line in your letter that does worry me is your statement that you can spend hours holed up in your room and in bed. Yes, you may need time to recharge your social batteries but it would do a lot more for your self-esteem if you would use that time to pursue an interest or to do something to make the world a better place. Think about ways to support a cause or candidate or to educate yourself about something you are genuinely interested in. You will feel better about yourself than if you just hang out wondering if there is something wrong with you. An important bonus is that it will give you more to talk about when you are with people.

I hope this is helpful. I wish you well.

I Want or Need to Be Alone hi katie,

there a certainly mixed reviews on the worth of a conclusion. i personally recommend that my students write one that is 4-5 sentences long. however, i encourage them to only spend 3-4 minutes writing one. in general, you want to spend as much time as you can writing your body paragraphs … you should have three choices.

 thanks for the update...i'll check it out. i'm nice and polite like i am with anyone, but with her i'm a tad flirty to see how she responds, gradually getting more and more flirty to see what she finds acceptable. for example the other day i asked her if she was a goddess, what she would be the goddess of. when she said she hadn't thought of it i spontaneously said, or rather had thought it would be a clever thing to say two days in advanced, that she would probably be the goddess of wisdom and beauty. when i get more confident in myself, i'll send her one of these forms. one idea can be videos have frames so, vectorize each frame and calculate dtw between two consecutive frames. this will help in gaining the difference in each frame and perhaps help in classification. hope this helps you. there are a lot of people who may be aware of what private and public means. when you say private, this can be a sector that is owned by someone in particular. a private business is something that is controlled by certain those who have studied school psychology will be able to work with children who may have some issues in life. there are some children who sometimes need someone to talk to. the school psychologist will be the right person for that. a school you are free to message me anytime. it is an offer but i cannot be your friend because i have realized long time back that i am not meant for friendships.you will surely get help and support though. i will try my best.
