False friends are worse than open enemies

callie's picture

My Parents once told me that I should surround myself with people that make me feel good,  and that friends are a mirror image of who we are.  I feel like some certain group of people that I have been "friends" with weren't really " TRUE FRIENDS" at all...I've been dissappointed way too many times and I am tired of all the stupid lies... I dont want to be associated with people that are fake and keep on dissappointing me.... I'm not saying Im perfect and  that I dont dissappoint people, so I guess it  works out for them too. I feel like they have lost my trust and I am tired of just brushing everything off because I dont want  confrontation.... I used to think before that having a lot of friends was important  but I was wrong.. instead, having a few people that really care about you is soo much better than having fake & hypocrite Friends.

Some people may not know the TRUE definition of what a friend really is but for me, A FRIEND is :

someone who knows the real you..sees you going through a lot of changes...but still loves you all the same...

a person whom you can trust 100%  and count on to help you out of a difficult situation...someone who gives advice to help you avoid making a mess of your life..(I can be very stubborn at times...) many people are considered to be friends, but few truly are.

I get disappointed  how i really want Something... or want Someone but i cant have it... I guess its life but dont i deserve to get what i want once in a while????

And so, I would like to thank all of those people who are my TRUE FRIENDS. I really do love you guys and without you guys... I dunno what i would do. You guys make my life worth living and i am truly grateful for having you guys a part of my life.

For me, a true friend would be:

Someone who will never envy you

Who will never hold back anything from you

Will be encouraging

Understanding 

Fun to be with

Never nags for you when you can't be with them

Helps you no matter what

Never borrows money from you.

Sang-ayon ako sayo... when i was in hayskul, dami kong freind. Kaya lang noong mga panahon na natapos kami ay para ring natapos ang pagkakaibigan namin. Sa kasalukuyan ay mabibilang nalang sa kamay ang natitira kong kaibigan. Hindi naman mahalaga kong marami kang kaibigan, ang pinaka importante sa lahat ay may isa o dalawang tao na handang manatili ng habang buhay. mjnsan my nabasa akong qoute, " HAVING A THOUSAND FRIEND IN A YEAR IS NOT MIRACLE. THE TRUE MIRACLE IS HAVING A FRIEND HU WILL STAY FOR A THOUSAND YEAR."

Treasure ur......

Reminds me of something

A friend is one whom you may pour out

the contents of your soul

Both chaff and grain together

Keep what is worth keeping

And with the breath of kindness 

Blow the rest away.

=============

I am unsure if I wrote this one right out of memory.  I guess there's a missing line.

hi rbolsqp and callie

Hi there! It's from Dinah Maria Mulock Craick I also love that prose here's what i got...

Oh, the comfort the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,

Having neither to weigh thoughts,

Nor measure words but pouring them

All right out just as they are

Chaff and grain together

Certain that a faithful hand will

Take them and sift them

Keeping what is worth keeping

And with the breath of kindness

Blow the rest away.

Hi there too, Ms. Pauline

In addition:

If one is a Thundercats fan, one may remember Jaga telling Lion-O, "An honest enemy is better a false friend."

Pauline lang rbolsqp and I

Pauline lang rbolsqp and I agree with Jaga I'd rather have honest enemies anytime than false friends.

Twice in my life it happened ...

When my good friend became my worst enemy and my enemy became my best friend. It's strange. But now I learned the pattern of friendship.

 

People who ask too much about you, asks about your private life, your identity when you only just met are sensitve and envious people

People who takes their time getting to know you from a distance are wise and should be given attention. :)

rbolsqp Agrees

Hi Pmel. 

Friendship takes time to build.  There are no shortcuts. There are those who attempt to save time building their relationships, and yet too soon they find the bond too loose, for always haste makes waste.

=========

Jaga told Lion-O that sometimes in order to save time, one must wait.

I used to watch Thunder Cats!!!

But now I've forgotten what's it about aside from their characteristics as half cats and half humans! ^^;

I'll watch them again on Youtube.

Pauline ...

He/she is probably using several proxy server(s) to maintain anonymity ...

You're right Pmel anyway I

You're right Pmel anyway I like what your said as a response to one of the posts here something about learning whatever there is to learn about what other people say about us and focus on improving our weaknesses may matututuhan naman talaga sa lahat ng mga nangyayari negative man o positive and I intend to do just that.
