EC Friendship - what does it mean?

EC Friendship - to me, it's perhaps only superficial at the most. Why do I say this? Well, I have many examples, but perhaps I shall only focus on one.

A long time ago, only a few weeks after I had joined, I made a friend. Well, not only a friend; we quickly became best friends. One's name was pretty much synonymous to the other's. We were both in our own small circle. How simpler life on Egg Cave was back then - we had our own friends, and we were a small circle. Nowadays, these friendship circles crisscross so much that one doesn't even know who are //your// friends.

Yet, somehow, something happened to us, and we regard each other as no more than acquaintances. People you know, who know you back, but there's nothing more to it than that. Sometimes even a small joke, but we wouldn't come to them as our first choice for serious matters. I guess there was a silent, unanimous agreement between both of us that our friendship is no more. I have no idea when it happened, but it did. We made our own friends, but separately. Neither of us would think of getting too friendly with either of each other's friends. Perhaps she was better off with her more serious and romantic friends, and I was better off with my... friends... I can't find a word to classify them.

Post so I can continue?

It's not only this example. I can think of many of my older friends who, well, I can't remember being my friends anymore. I can //really// only remember one who's still my friend now. I dread the day when I come to realize I abandon the friends I have now. Perhaps I already have. I guess these feelings manifest from people thinking "EC should be nicer! Weren't we all friends?" Why did we move away from each other, gradually, then? Could this friendship have never existed at all, and it was only so in our minds? I'm already well, ashamed of my own loss. I can't remember the last time me and my friend had something reminiscent to a meaningful conversation.

Opinions?

I dont have any friends on Eggcave =/ (It's pretty lonely so I go on around once a day whilst I normally went on 24/7)

Well, I actually know some people in real life that I've invited to eggcave, but @sarahzafirah is a great online friend that I have ever since I was only a little weakling. She hasn't betrayed me once. Or said things behind my back (I think!)
