Have you made a close friend on CoSo?

@tyote
Seriously, it depends on how we define "close" and "friends".

@Jeber I guess I'd clumsily categorize it as, "Someone you met here that you regularly talk to, feel comfortable sharing more personal stories with, and would associate with outside of CoSo."

@tyote
I can vote on that. I asked particularly because I know none of you in real life, but I wouldn't mind it.

@tyote
I'm not sure either of the "No" options cover my position - i'm not here to find close friends, just like minded souls 😉

@ianmhill Fair enough! 🙂 I guess this is kind of a rough method to estimate how deeply people engage with others here.

@tyote I wonder about the term "close friend". That's a high bar. I don't expect that here or anywhere else online (or even in person these days!)

I do see a lot of people I would like to consider some sort of friend ("close acquaintance"?), but the actual interactions with them have been kind of thin. And I'm okay with that!

@CJLavoie People's unique interpretations of the term are a curious thing, for sure.

It'd be interesting to see what the folks who answered that they've made a lot of close friends here think about the term.
