Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: always keep safety distance between you and others..even close buddies.

yes...emotionally dependent on somebody is sometime risky...but truth is after sometime when a person gets emotionally involve he becomes emotionally dependent also and when the relationship is broken ...he is the first one to get hurt...It is an act of transferring yourcontrol out of your hands into the hands of others...when you become too dependent on a person...place... or thing... you give it power to control you...it is an act of controlling others to take care of you so you don't have to do it yourself...which is not healthy.

no.

nooooooo enjoy it

It's been proven...they do say keep close to your enemys that way you know what's going on ;).....Happy St. Paddys Day ...

No, it's not wrong but don't lose yourself or become dependant on another person in case things go wrong. The closeness must be by mutual consent.

Yes and no.

I think RELYING on someone too heavily is wrong.

But love as thou wilt.

Friendships are one of the greatest things besides family. Don't distance yourself, you never know what people can bring to your life.

if that's the case, would you like if someone who you thought as your "bestest" and closest friend maintained a certain "emotional" distance(if that's what the question asked) from you?

i wouldn't, so even i wouldn't do the same. that's cheating.

It depends from the country! For instance, Mediterrannean people (Italian, Spanish, Portugese, Greeks...) like to touch each other. The British, the Japanese don't appreciate close touch.

Y, everyone needs some private space. You said "Too" close so the question was rhetorical anyway

Good advice. Considering if you are close friends with somebody, they can turn their back on you, and stab you in the back. Then they might not have been your friend in the first place. Though there are some people whom you feel like you can trust. You should just be careful what you tell them.

always hold your enemies close

No it's not always wrong, I always listen to my gut if someone doesn't seem right then I don't go there, but I have had some hard lessons as far as people go.

No, It's great to get close to others. I am not as naive as I used to be though.

No, man, that's the formula for being lonely. You have to get close to ppl and ESPECIALLY close to one or two to have any love in your life, and without love, life is all work.

I am working on this one too.................. I feel the closer I get, I do get hurt and feel vulnerable. But each time it happens I find I am able to become closer to those I love just that little bit.
