 Friendship...oh goodnight
I lost a friend today....After a long and drawn out argument we ended our friendship. After we said our goodbyes I decided to write up a blog about human friendships.

Human friendships are very fragile...... I have heard many people say they have best friends forever or people they will have forever, but in reality an average human being will have dozens of different friends, and will call many others best friends (there are of course exceptions in life).


There are many different reasons friendships can dissolve. In high school I had so many different friends. Every corner I turned there would be someone I knew, and when I had a house party there would be no shortage of people to have fun with. Once high school ended alot of the friendships I had ended, and in the end I only had about three friends left.


Distance....Killed a good majority of my friendships. I went to college, others did not, some joined the force, and others went to work. We just stopped talking, and in time our friendships dissolved. Even the people who I talked to on a daily basis, our friendships in time would just dissolve. 


Betrayel....Many friends in my experienced who I trusted ended up to only care about themselves. It is human nature to only care about themselves, and to help themselves, and in many instances these people betray the ones close to them to better themselves. It is very hard to find a friend who is truly faithful to you, and would not betray you. I'll give an example of this. I had a friend who just broke up with his girlfriend, I did like this girl, and wanted to hook up with her. My friend asked me not to, but I ignored his warning, and in the end I did hook up with her and started a huge fight with someone I would call my best friend....I betrayed my friend, and four y ears later I regret the decision I made, but at the time it just happened. 


Thats just human nature....Sometimes we can't control ourselves and we just end friendships. 


I could go on and on with my experiences, and I am only twenty years old and I have gone through dozens of friends. I know there are people who have been friends for many years, and there are of course exceptions to everything I am saying, but to me friendship is very fragile. Maybe its me, but who knows? I do have two friends that I have been friends with all my life, and yes having one good friend is better then having twenty friends who don't care about you, but all in all most of the friendships I have had with people have been fragile and ended in disaster......


So all in all I can give this advice...


1. Be with someone who dosn't annoy you. If you see them on a constant basis, and they don't get on your nerves that is someone good to hang out with.


2. Be faithful, and don't betray your friends. THINK BEFORE YOU ACT!! Don't be a fool. Don't make silly mistakes that you know you will regret in the future.


3. Be friends with people you know won't betray you. If you know someone is not right, or you just don't feel right around. DONT HANG OUT WITH THEM!!


4. And in the end, be with someone you actually like not that you hate and your just pretending to like.

This is a good entry about friendship. Those who will be reading this one will learn and those who have read learned from what you wrote about friendship. To add to your advice, it is also important to trust your friends as well as to maintain the trust that your friends repose to you. If there are any misunderstandings try to talk to each other and be honest about anything. To strengthen the friendship learn how to listen from the other to avoid misunderstandings.

I am sorry to read that you lost a friend. But i pray that someday it will be fine.

Again, Merry Christmas!

I can relate to this all to well, I have one true friend, cause I've been threw so many friends that sometimes it makes my head spin. It happens sometimes, but you have to weed them out sometimes and figure out who is going to be best for you. I have one really good friend and we've been friends since I've moved to this mall city and that was 13 yrs ago. She is the only one I've known that long and even though we didn't exactly start out as best of friends, we did grow to be that later on down the road and I love her like a sister. She excepts me flaws and all, even when we don't share the same views. We've never gotten in an arguement (knock on wood).LoL

Sorry to hear about your friend, but if they are truly meant to be friends with you then things will work out.

No matter where you & your friends go in life, no matter what happends in life: friendship will last a lifetime. Plus I have left a few friends behind in the past, but they're still with me in a way. Sorry about what happend between you & your friend. PS: When you go up the ladder of life never forget who you started with and where you started from. Hope this helps.
