I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'somebody close to you' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'be rough in freaking out' is the wordplay.
'freaking out' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'be'+'rough'+'in'='beroughin'
'beroughin' is an anagram of 'NEIGHBOUR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neighbour that I've seen before include "One living next door" , "Person who lives next door" , "Someone in the street" , "One lives near you" , "Such a one might help out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
