that’s typically the only commonality. The relationships with our kin can range from cordial to openly hostile, and usually depends on how trifling the individual in question is.
Friends – are the people we choose to spend time with, they might know allot about us, but they’ll never know everything, because everything is only for family. We can choose to promote friends to family, and demote family to the other categories over time. This is because trust if like credit, it must be built and maintained, and sometimes people can slack off at the expense of others!
Acquaintances – are people that we know of and we are respectful, courteous, and friendly towards; but we don’t really interact unless we are within each other’s immediate presence. Like, at a party, or crossing paths while shopping, things like that.
Associates – are people that we know of because of their connections to our acquaintances, friends, family, or kin; and we don’t usually know enough about these people to like or dislike them, nor they us.
Disablers – are the people in our lives, that if we let them, will disrupt whatever positive things we have going on in our lives. These are the people that will call to borrow money, that we’ll never see again. Are always in bad situations, but always have the best advice for everyone else. And always has an excuse ready to explain their poor behavior.
Frenemies – are people we suspect or know for certain that they don’t like us, but we hold some kind of tential value to them or they’re so averse to conflict they won’t just cut ties with us themselves.
