feels like this is somewhat obvious? like yeah, if you're spending hours a day with other people 5x a week, you're gonna become friends. that happens kinda naturally.

if you're not going outside and regularly spending time with people, you're not gonna make friends

If you find an actual friend, they will keep talking to you even if you no longer share a routine, which is not an easy thing to come across

Yes and yes.

Not necessarily. I had people I'd see every day when going to college, or to my japanese/french classes, and even though we regularly had nice talks, shared life stuff from time to time, worked on projects together, and sometimes even go eat out all together, it was that sort of superficial and kinda awkward niceness that immediately ends when the lesson/outing is over. Like yeah, I got along nicely but we never clicked as friends or ever talked outside of said setting, and once it was done it was done, as if we had never met at all.

no, it sounds like these people have never really been friends to begin with.

It's a necessary evil, that hopefully something comes of it but majority of the time it will be as you described, I think that is an aspect of romantic relationships, to have a friend that you're around 24/7, I think that is why there is alot of unhappy couples, is that they don't have the friendship foundation just the romantic aspect or worse, the one of convenience. Ultimately the passion will fade.

Real friendship is very rare, possibly only once in a lifetime, if ever. Most "friends" are really just acquaintances that you see frequently.
