Medium friends are genuine; they share your history, circumstances or interests. They make you laugh, bring news, and offer insights. But, unlike your closest friends, they test the limits of your time, love, and energy. There are only so many dinners in a week, and so many people with whom you can be continuously texting. 36
And that is the problem with medium friends, the unclear boundaries we create with them. Without clear expectations, medium friendships can easily become unbalanced. You may like your medium friends more (or less) than they like you. 37 But these conversations are harder with medium friends.
38 They don’t view it as a balance of give and take but as something that grows naturally, like art. Friendships, they say, are not ranked from best friends to strangers but reflect the effort two people put into them, showing what they enjoy, share, and how they’ re different.
Medium friends should not be seen as less valuable than best friends. 39 They might be a tennis partner, a long-lost friend, or someone you play games with abroad. Without the pressure to be “perfect,” these friendships can grow and serve each person as needed.
At their best, medium friendships can feel freeing, with less responsibility. Psychologist Beverley Fehr points to recent research showing that a wide, diverse friend group made up of weak and strong ties is best. She suggested, “ 40 ” While the emotional and psychological benefits of medium friendships have not been studied, Fehr believes they are considerable.
A．Friendship is based on shared care and trust.
B．Some social scientists see friendship differently.
C．Don’t put all your eggs in one relationship basket.
D．They can be enjoyable and useful in their own way.
E．With close friends, you can talk about issues or wounds.
F．Scholars have tried to sort friendships into different levels.
G．Medium friends provided the lie in trying to satisfy too many people.

The sport requires more than 43 nerves. It also needs amazing athletic skills to 44 both the wind and air at the same time — almost like superhuman. And for one man, his 45 is also nearly superhuman.
Bruno Lobo, a surgeon and a former champion swimmer, has been kitesurfing for 15 years. In 2016 and 2023, he held six Brazilian 46 and won Olympic gold in kitesurfing.
On a 47 day with some gray clouds and strong winds, Lobo went into the ocean near Sao Luis. “After 48 a few meters, I heard a cry for help and noticed a girl who was drowning,” he explained in a post on Instagram. “I 49 approached her with the kite, tried to calm her down and asked her to 50 on my back.” Lobo used his equipment and experience as a 51 and surfer to get the woman safely into the shallows, where lifeguards could 52 .
CNN 53 the story. But instead of shining the spotlight on himself, Lobo used the opportunity to educate people about the 54 of watersports. Lobo reminded everyone that knowing our 55 and adopting a little humility is just as crucial as the excitement of watersports.
