Circles of friendships

What is your circle of friends?

Imagine concentric circles. In the center is the smallest circle. In this circle is one or two of your closest friends. In the next circle are people that you see everyday and talk about daily activities and events. In the next circle are people that could be called aquaintances. People that you know their names and say hello to. In the next circle is everyone else that you run into. With each circle there are an increasing amount of people.

This circle of friends is important to remember not only because no one wins a popularity contest by being loved by everyone but also because when it comes time to confronting people, it helps you to decide whether it is worth it or not. You would more likely want to confront someone whom you are close to and you would be more likely to want to avoid someone whom you are not close to.
