A big "F" Friend: Doesn't have to.

A Little "f" Friend: Opens a conversation with a full news bulletin on their life.
A Big "F" Friend: says: "What's new with you?"

A Little "f" Friend: Thinks the problems you whine about are recent.
A Big "F" Friend: says: "You've been whining about the same thing for 14 years. Get off your duff and do something about it."

A Little "f" Friend: Has never seen you cry.
A Big "F" Friend: Has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A Little "f" Friend: Brings a bottle of wine to your party.
A Big "F" Friend: Comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

A Little "f" Friend: Wonders about your romantic history.
A Big "F" Friend: Could blackmail you with it!

A Little "f" Friend: When visiting, they act like a guest.
