Anyone else find it hard making friends? I mean the *true* kind of friends who you can call/text/email anytime of the day or night, and they'll be there to chat with you and just generally be there for you?
Yeah, it's never really easy. I'll say to you Hon, that the whole friendship thing is always difficult, because you have certain expectations of what makes a good friend and the other person has certain expectations of what makes a good friend. And there lies the problem.
The trick is, finding the people where you match up enough, which would blossom the beautiful unity, you were talking about. Unfortunately, no one will ever give you a full complete list of what they expect from their friends. So you have to endure the whole painful trial and error process and through it, you might never truly understand the other person.
For instance, I've had a 14 year friendship with a guy that's a constant liar. He doesn't lie about big things. It's small things, small things that I usually see through, but it doesn't matter just because they're trivial things. But the fact he lies about it in the first place is what gets me sometimes.
But despite that flaw, he's probably been one of the better friends I've had in my life. We have a lot of common interests, we talk about family, friends, different view points of things.
I have another friend that knows him as well. He's considered close to, my friend as well, but he always gets irritated with the lying thing. Which he does have a point about, but I guess it doesn't matter as much to me, one because I've known him for so long, I know when he's lying. And two, I've come to accept that's just a part of his personality and it's not as much of a hindrance that it would completely ruin the friendship.
Like, I said, it's strange, but it works too.
