Do you have them?
Key question: Does closeness with another person, whether that's a friendship or a relationship, naturally involve expectations? Can there be genuine intimacy and closeness without expectations? How do you balance reasonable expectations (assuming you feel they exist) with keeping a healthy amount of space and freedom between yourself and another person?
If you have expectations of people, what do you expect from close friends vs. more casual friendships vs. acquaintances?
I'm partially curious for curiosity's sake, and partially genuinely puzzled about this... so I'd love to hear about what y'all think about this.
