They probably don't. I feel like people's definition of what a friend is can be very loose.

I recognize some people I know as colleagues or acquaintances, but some people may think of them as friends were they in my shoes.

some folk i know just use friend, family, and enemy. colleague, acquaintance, and any other social relationship classification does not exist for them.
