By very definition, acquaintances provide lack of meaningful bonding. At the very least, you can't exchange reliable insights with such people because everything remains surface level unless you unwisely cross some major personal boundaries.
Committing your energy to a large group of people without really connecting with anybody is pointless and wasteful. Don't many of us experience this unfulfilling dynamic at work?
Real friends care about your well-being, know enough to give reliable opinions and provide emotional support. They can be funny or serious, knowing how to make you feel comfortable.
Sometimes, friendship chemistry helps facilitate dynamics which grow beyond platonic. It's a valuable contributor or foundation within romance.
Whatever the context, bonds evolve with human nourishment. They may last years, decades or become reunited following absences. Often surviving and chosen while relationships end or family is genetically predetermined.
However you slice it…
Friendships are better! 💞
