On Friendships
Wednesday, 19 of September , 2007 @ 7:36 am
I don’t have a whole lot of friends, but the friends I am close to mean the world to me. I love them to death. Even when I’m busy, I still manage to squeeze in a few minutes of my time to help them out when they need me. If I have to, I drop whatever I’m doing just to do them a favor. I try to be as dependable as I can possibly be, and I hope I’m doing a good job at it.
Another thing about me is my friends’ moods affect mine. When my friends are sad, I’m sad too. And yet another thing is I can’t seem to be straightforward with my friends when they do something I don’t like.
Finally (and this is probably the most emotionally taxing thing I do), I am very very patient with my friends. Even when I am pushed to my limits, I don’t give up on friendships that easily, no matter how difficult it gets.
But lately, I’ve been at wits end trying to figure out whether my approach is the right way to handle friendships. While I don’t expect anything in return, it hurts a lot when my friends don’t seem to see how much I care for them. Maybe I just suck ass at maintaining relationships, but right now I’m definitely not happy with the way things are going. And it makes me want to give up on everything - and everyone.
