The Friendship Zones

Measure the friendship,
not just the vibe.

Shared activity is not shared life.

Built for reflection · Not a clinical diagnosis

The five zones

Every circle matters.

Not every friendship is meant to be the deepest kind. The framework helps name each friendship honestly.

  1. 1

    Acquaintance

    "I know of you."

  2. 2

    Casual Friend

    "I enjoy you."

  3. 3

    Companion

    "I share parts of myself with you."

  4. 4

    Close Friend

    "I trust you with my inner world."

  5. 5

    Covenant Friend

    "I will remain present and responsible toward you."
