Levels of friendship: how do you internalize this?

Iv’e been realizing lately that i can sometimes lump ‘friends’ all together. Acquaintances, best friends, close friends, all of that. This is obviously not super ideal as theres general rules for friendship but i struggle with it. Mostly in knowing how they feel about me. If I consider them close but they consider me an acquaintance. Is there anything I can do about this? How do I realize how close I am with someone so I dont do something say super vulnerable and freak them out or do something i’d never want to do with someone who views me as only an acquaintance.
