Friendship is a tough business... FreeSchool.
"Friendship is a tough business..."
- Me (FreeSchool)
This post reflects how hard it is to make friends almost with less reason or rekying on pure passion... to create bonds yourself, almost when you don't need to...
TLDR Even with less business or money involved and even free-school, friendship long-term is tough in of itself).

DEEPER ON THIS...
-----------------
ℹ️ My statement shows how it's a natural paradox to make friends on as a business Friendship making is more my activity or life-saving hobby rather than job which I think is dangerously mixed.
Probably deliberately mixing work or job means to keep us in boxes and see each other as 'you're good at this' type roles and not multi-dimensional people with broad range of talents or want for all of life to work and attempt it ourselves without banks in the middle).
Business means many things so this adds to the phrasings levels or complexity... On one it's as a work basis, where other people can be welcome to help, BUT on the other hand (at the same time) as friends, we're a natural threat to our own existence! Woah!
TLDR Even with less business or money involved and even 'free'-school (which also could be 'Freedom'), friendship is still tough in of itself.
BALANCE TO KEEP FOCUS AND NOT OVER-FOCUSSING
Learning helps focus but still accepting differences is hard and sometimes takes over focus unnecessarily when something in order offends us to isn't our thing. We need to train ourselves out of somewhat..
TO BE FRIEND OR NOT TO BE FRIENDLY
Overcoming these feelings when making friends is something I'm interested in. Like unlocking a lock or piercing a dam holding water back.
Friendship is often what I try speed up so making myself look desperate I think - because most people rely on circles of work or family to make 'friends'. (To have work colleagues or keep to immediate circles (e.g. the kids in family or vicinity).
WHAT FRIENDS MEANS TO ME
In my mind we're already friends somewhat and just need to find relativity and "get doing what we do best and have been for years!".
This is not easy for others to assume as same "friends" meaning. Passing the casual hello at some point and usually needing to wait 10 years to say "yeah he's ok" is something I can't wait too long for- I already assume lots of imperfection and perhaps realise the world is dying off so "take what you can!".
People as lightweight friends can often wait until 'something happens' and then claim to be done wrong when really we go through together many new scenarios and hardly ever do we really know people unless we live with them 10 years.
BOUNDARIES
So I think to go quickly over these friendship boundaries and allow others to 'get the best parts of you' and 'use you well' and 'you use them well for the parts they want' is important and being the best open judges ourselves, beats being too over-cautious and avoids basically stopping relativity from worries and shyness for sharing.
UBUNTU - PART OF ME IN YOU & VICE VERSA (JUST ONE PERSPECTIVE OF WORD)
A line exists where attachments or extensions of us become a natural threat or liability sometimes as well. Friendship is a tough business (activity / quest)... especially if 2 people are alike... we tend to be wary not letting anyone online get too close; avoid having to talk or being avoid being misrepresenting / misunderstood etc passed the simple "Hi" and "bye".
I think this is why having project work helps focus on that (and not on each other) even though it's unhealthy detachment to have it work only (and discomfort).
You get laid off, and your world crumbles.
- You want to retire but don't want to lose your friends!
- You want to make the world a better place but needing others involves more interaction rather than arbitrary violence-based middleman.
This post reflects how hard it is to make friends almost with less reason or pure passion... to create bonds yourself, almost when you don't need to... I know and accepted I need others as they illuminate my life and without them it's rather dead / inanimate.
