I don’t consider people my friend easily. I am just polite to strangers usually until they cross my boundaries. If any person says they are my friend, and I do not talk to them most of the time or you do not see me engaging with them in a friendly way openly, they are not my friend. As flirting has certain criterion in my concept, so has friendship.
People imposing things on me one-sidedly has nothing to do with me. I reciprocate openly, barely secretly, and most of the people who really know me know where they stand and those who do not, they are just in the self-imposed importance list.
THANK YOU !
