I think I only really have one or two REAL friends the rest of them aren't real. they just suck and id rather not know them at all, i dont want your bullshit idea of "friendship". and on another note, it's such an effort talking to people, i have to prepare myself for a new city and new people and im dreading putting on a friendly face and talking to strangers. noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :toetap05: it's not so bad sitting alone in the back is it? is it?
well there are friends and then there are friends. i think i just dont like my generation. they were brought up with shitty ideas as to what classifies as a friend. it's like loyalty and reliability just dont exist anymore. i expect to get what i give but its rarely the case. i give up
I have one BEST friend. I would trust her with my life. Besides her, there's a pretty big group of people I would call friends. Then again, I'm a really forgiving person and I let go of things easily, so of course some of them have done things to me. I probably shouldn't be so chill about stuff, but I can't help it.
Don't you have a solid boyfriend? Maybe a change of scenery and fish is just the ticket for you. I remember I found some of my best friends during the last year of my high school. Hell, I'm still making some pretty loyal and caring friends in my last years of university too. You'll find them. Good friends are always good friends. Even when you haven't seen them in a few years.
i already have a dog. she's spawn of the devil. i do have a solid boyfriend but im starting out on my own up there. i kept about 2 friends from school cos i realised mostly i was friends with people because i had to be and i didnt really like them. i have a handful of friends from uni i only see about once every 3 months. i dont think what i expect from a friend is unreasonable, but by today's standards im dreaming that ill find anyone who is as good a friend as i am. maybe i just need to be a shitter friend so it's even? i dont have much tolerance for shitty friends. i can forgive some things but enough is enough
she's evil but i still love her. she's a medium sized spaniel and the naughtiest dog alive. i had her picture up here for ages. im actually going to miss her most when i leave
I don't know what to say. I made friends with a girl in one of my classes this year, and she gave me a package of baked cookies one day before class. She got me hand lotion for Christmas. I made her muffins and took her sledding because she loves the snow and I don't. I made friends with another girl from Argentina, and took her sledding with us for the first time. I kind of have a knack for meshing people together and making things work. I would probably be your friend if you were in one of my classes. You really just have to give people an opportunity have fun with you. Real simple, and easy to do fun type things. Some of the strongest friendships blossom from when you just waltz up to someone and say "Hi!" in a pleasant voice. I think you're going to enjoy yourself if you allow yourself to be out there and put yourself out more to people. Not to be trampled on or just for show, but to do something fun with people and make connections. People are receptive when you're looking for good clean friendships. I know you're not a bad person or a mean person whatsoever. So you're going to do well in a new city, and after a month or two, it won't even be so new anymore.
You know, it does seem like there are very few people in the world. A real friend is someone who'll stand up to you when your wrong and then be there the next day. I don't know if it's really possible to have a lot of true friends. I think a lot of friend collectors wouldn't know who to turn to when they really needed good counsel. Maybe that's for the best. An intimate connection with people would probably be less special if you could have it with everyone.
And on a more personal level, You post here kinda on and off... probably cause you have a life and whatever. But you come off as a smart and cool person who is certainly capable of meeting people you really connect with. Sometimes it just takes a lot of digging to really find those people. But you'll find 'em. :biggrin:
