I really think the difference is in the words: "as A" and "as Your".
Dou you know what I mean?
So, that's it.
first one: como um
second one: como seu
I hope that helped

Hi Aline, thank you for your answer. My doubt is about context , not grammar. by saying as a friend it is a bit distant and the person wants to be the one among the addressee´s friend. on the other hand by saying as your friend is very personal. he wants to be the special friend.
My question is : by saying as your friend does it imply that the person consider the relation to be more than friendship ?

I'd say that the actual meaning is the same, but I agree with you that "your friend" seems just a bit more personal. Still, I don't think it implies that the relationship is more than friendship.
