Do you know your friends? And how much do you know?

As far as I know, If I were to range how much I know about my friends from a scale of 1 to 10 and 1 as the lowest and 10 is the highest.. mine would be 7. Since entering college, you don't really go out together with the same friends. You interact with other people also. And about those friends that I have been close with, I knew some birthdays and sometimes I just forget when is their birthday. I don't really think that no matter how close you are with a person is that you can already tell that you know much about her. Since I for one think that each person has his/her own secret.. a mystery.. that's the nice part of having friends.. it is because the more mysterious or secretive, the more challenging and exciting it is to know that person better.. as my opinion for you, you have already seen how your friends value you.. why not do the same thing to them? It's rare to find friends like that.. For when you truly find a "friend" You are lucky enough to have one for life. Best of luck to you!

Yes, if they are my good friends, I know them. But if they are just friends, then I am not as confident. I invest a lot of time in my good friends, I remember their birthdays and hope to catch up with their lives regularly so that I would have the most update on what's going on in their lives. I treasure friendship and I am really that I have a couple good friends. Well, for your case, you could always make up for it. Start spending time on your friends and remember their things!

Usually friends means we invite them to our place and we go to their place, if married, my wife talks to his wife like wise and after 3 or 4 meetings, one will get to know in detail about the friend, unless you have a friend only for a specific purpose where you do not want to know about him. I have 3 friends and I have full information because I am participating in most of cultural and religious activities of my friend's house.

I know my friends very well... birthdays, favorite colors, favorite movies, etc. Learning all of that was a part of developing the friendship, I think.

when we have friends we make sure that we have same likes, same hobbies and maybe same interest...not all necessary but our we know what kind of friends we have...

I have the same feeling as you. The most moment that I think of my friends is when I need their help. I really want keep a good relationship with them and want to spend some time with them, but I don't know why I always don't have time to be with them. I lived in a big city in Shanghai, China and rented a aparment there, I intentially chose a place which is near to one of my friends and I thougth I may stay with him easily. But 1.5 years past and I didn't go to see his house. Why we are also alway so busy and have no time to build the friendship? Or why it's so difficult to push out some time to be with the persoin important to us? Maybe we are so egoistic that job, our own hobbies take all the available time from us.

you are right! we sometimes think that we know the people who is around us, but the truth is that we don't. we need a life to know ourselves, and it is the same with our friends or relatives.
