How would you define or describe "being close" to someone?...Is it about how often you see and talk to someone? Or is it about "shared memories" and knowing someone really well?

It is not about how often you see someone, it's about how deeply you share and care for one another.

Being close is respecting each other enough to be able to have time apart and still maintain that closeness between you two. Not a day goes by where you don't talk to one another about whatever.

Some people seem "glued" to each other but their relationship is not necessarily "deep." Have you noticed this?

To me, being close to someone means you can trust them and know that you can share your deepest secrets.That they are someone that you can go to when you have a problem.Someone who won't judge you no matter what.

Sharing deeply personal thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

I don't have too many people I'm close to, those few that I AM close to are the ones who I share the most with...and they do the same with me.

I spend a lot of time with my co-workers, but we are not close. Just hanging out with someone a lot doesn't mean "being close" in my definition.

I don't like "closeness".
