Really? I think that's what makes a friend different from an acquaintance (that and being able to call them at 3am for help)... the trust and confidence that if I cross a line or am being stupid, that a good friend will call me on the carpet and be assertive without being afraid that my reaction will disturb the friendship. And vice versa, of course. This is not arrogant, but rather it's tough love. Or mutual accountability, if one is receptive to it.
