So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull.

The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.
