If a friendship revolves around being able to do some similar thing together, it&#x27;s probably not a friendship. In a friendship it&#x27;s about the other person and it doesn&#x27;t matter if you can&#x27;t climb&#x2F;surf&#x2F;jam together because it&#x27;s not about doing. People I hang out with because of a hobby are pals, peers, even acquaintances. A friend is a couple of steps above that: a friend I would see outside the usual circumstances. I go have lunch with my colleagues but it&#x27;s only one or two I actually meet outside of work, and those are potential friend material. Test of true friendship is when you don&#x27;t have any other other excuse to meet except yourselves, and you still meet.
