If I think about it—perhaps "friendship" is the default way they feel that they should express that someone else matters to them. It does seem like many people have a low threshold for that.

I suppose I consider "friendship" to require an amount of earned rapport, above and beyond the fact that I would be concerned for any person's well-being.

Then we're of similar minds. And even with that, there's a different between someone I would build up rapport with and someone I would consider a friend since that would involve knowing me more personally, right? So it's just very odd.

I'm someone who is, perhaps, a little wary of very unbalanced relationships, so it's just a bit frustrating when I would like to know someone better, but in a more natural way?

What would be a "natural" way? Isn't any interaction with a person somewhat engineered? You're having to consider a number of things while interacting with them vs other people, right? So how do you reconcile the idea of it happening "naturally" when you know that there are things like that in play?

I suppose you could say... learning more about each other, finding out what things you have in common and what things you don't but that complement each other; and then beginning to rely on each other in what ways you can, and being willing to change one's approach if it doesn't work well.

Of course, it does seem to go faster here, since we are of course forced to rely upon each other in unnaturally dire circumstances, at least within units. But even so. It's a process, where some people want it to just happen.
