May you are doing a great job, but internally you tell yourself you aren't? @ArraDreaming
What do you think?
I'm logging off now, but I'm very interested to see where this conversation leads.

Here's a thought (from an amateur friend-maker). Common enemies. Or maybe common adversities ("adversity" seems a less personal and probably more productive way of approaching it). It's an old trick we use to bond with each other
Shared interests are also good. But even having said that, people's battles and how they battle them can be pretty interesting.
Feels also worth saying, friends aren't always allies.
And, allies aren't always friends.
But, allegiance is a good quality in friendship.
