Friendship?

Friday, June 13, 2008

The BIG question for me was always.. "how to make friends? & how to keep them?"
I don't plan to answer this question, its just a rhetorical question

It puzzles me all the time. I envy people with more friends than me. Yes envy, one of the seven deadly sins and I'm "doing" one of them.

Fuck this. How am I suppose to answer the question, when I don't know the answer to such question. Personally, I believe no one does, however, there's solution to such improve the possibility to have more friends.

In my life, I have to admit, there is only two friends whom truly been my best friends. I'm not mentioning names, but here I'm express how I consider a person my best friend.
  1. The amount of years I've been with them
  2. My openness towards them and my comfort around them
I knew these two friends for, what, over 4-5 years. We started out as just strangers, and actually misjudge each other causing conflict and dislike between each other. But being friend isn't always smooth, the road is always dumpy and has many course to go through. Being my best friend isn't always easy, I mean I hardly have any friends. I believe everyone think I'm a fucking stuck up snob, whom nose is just too high, which causes nearly everyone to despise me. But I'm just simply not comfortable to expose myself to others. To let them know how I feel and to let them my secrets and outside-school lifestyle. Therefore, these two people whom to me are my best friends is because I tell them things that others don't know. I tell them, because I trust them, and trust them not to judge me. Instead seek them for advice, in which is useful to me. They help choose which road to take in the course of my life. That's who are often my best friend.

I mean I have other close friends, but around them its harder for me to open up, harder for me to feel me. Its like I have a different person for them. The feeling is hard to describe, and knowing my "large vocab" knowledge, I don't have a word for it. For my close friends, they are there when I need someone to hangout, to talk to, to help, and I'll of cause offer my help. But to discuss my personal personal problem, its harder. Harder for me to let out for them to understand. I mean I am a very emotional and a go getter at thing I want, everything I do is for a cause. If that cause isn't fulfilled I've failed myself. And sometime the failure isn't easily understood by people. They often believe its a small matter, but to me, its something large. Large enough that I still want to hide away and not reveal myself to the world because I have loser written across my forehead. A close friend is a course to reach the best friend level.

A fine line is drawn between close friends and best friends for me. I don't pick best friends easily, and these people I choose may not view me as a bestie, but I do to them. Because of them, I maybe partly who I am today. And I guess some of you out there will understand my unedited and "awkward" sentences mean.

Cheers Folks (:

PS. Getting to be my close friend is pretty hard too (: I mean I know have what 4 close friends, and 2 best friends. Oh, wonderful, I'm a loner.
