Not my friend...
I will talk a little about friendship and what I really tell people about friendship, which is to be careful when selecting friends.
You cannot name anyone your friend just because you see him or her everyday, not just because circumstances bring them to you. But it is a deliberate effort to associate yourself to someone.
This is because once you are in friendship with someone, it's a different ballgame. You are connected to such person and trust must establish such friends whether he is present or not.
Denial of such friend during difficult time is betrayal, you have to be there when they need you the most.
He is not my friend is a statement of betrayal and lack of trust, avoid it!
