Every so often, I realize that my criteria to call someone a "friend" is extremely strict. Others can talk to someone and be a friend if they even like that person.
I forget even people I like within a matter of weeks. I can remember names but not whose names they are.

I've been told by people that I'm fine talking to them one day but not another and I completely flip. I swear I'm not doing it on purpose. I just can't keep emotion-based relationships because my emotional memory for most people lasts less than 48 hours.

I take manual mental notes for who I do/don't 'smile' at but usually by the time I see them again, I can't remember who's who
