Friendship is weird

These last days I've been thinking a lot about friendship. Everyone has friends, the number may vary, but everyone knows what friendship is. But has anyone considered how weird it actually is? 

Let's face it. You meet some complete stranger and it either becomes your friend or it doesn't. Maybe you become friends with someone you've known for a long time before becoming friends. Maybe you've on and off friends, friends that you need to see frequently, friends that you see now and then.

But what makes you become friends? Sure, you have some friends that share your same interests, but you also have friends that have nothing in common with you. Would you still be friends with your friends if you had met in different circumstances? What about all the friends you could have had but you never met? How many potential friends do we have around looking for a opportunity? Why our friends are our friends? You could think that if our friend has a friend the later should become fast friends with us too, but we all have this one friend that has a friend we cannot stand. 

I guess that in reality friendship is easy and all this it's just my tendecy to overcomplicate things, but to me friendship is weird.
