It still befuddles me that I see adults even into middle age talking about their BFFs. And I think there's a sort of worship of friendship, when it's actually the most superficial of all human interactions. Nothing wrong with a bit of superficiality either, but making it the centre of things is what creates cultures of 'mateship', which tend to be unthinking, brutal cultures. https://www.abc.net.au/life/why-friend-break-ups-can-be-worse-than-relationship-endings/11533668?sf220353971=1
