What are friends? in Thoughts to words

We all have people around us who we see everyday and sometimes talk to. But we can’t call every person we talk to our friend. Then who really are these people who we call ‘friends’. Are they the people who only call you when they need something or when they are in trouble? Are they who talk about everything that happened to them and when it is your turn they brush you off? Oh or they who leave you saying that they don’t want to be your only friend? Or are those the people who you give so much priority and help them to everything and when you are at your lowest point they just abandon you. If these are the people who we call friends then I have plenty of them. I have plenty of people who will message me talking very sweetly to get their work done and I being a helpful person, after I help them they don’t even remember who I am. You know the first time I actually felt alone was when I was 10 years old. Our class teacher asked everyone to sit in pairs and my class had around 41 children at that time. There were a lot of people whom I talked to and who interacted with me and I was sure that I would find someone. But my luck being so bad I was the only one without a partner to with me. I sat alone. I was already shaken because of this, my teacher decided to taunt me on this and said see no one wants to sit with you. Till now I don’t know what I did wrong. I helped whenever someone needed something, I helped them with their work and I respected everyone. A 10 year old girl for the first time felt abandoned my the people she called friends....
