My thoughts on being a good friend

I have been told before i am not a "good friend". I am sure all of you have at one point. Even if it wasn't to your face. But i think that people views on what a "good friend" are now days are so skewed that they don't know good friends from bad ones.

Now everyone has a main friend/group of friends that basically know everything about them. They know when you just want people to lie to you when the shit has hit the fan. They know when you are acting happy and no one sees it. They know it all, and sometimes it gets to be a pain but I think everyone needs that person/persons that they can go to without judgment.

Now, everyone has that one friend that DOESN'T know them as well as the first but they are so much fun to hang out with that you really don't care. but would you go to this person for advice? Would you go to this person when you have a problem. Not really. cause alot of the time if you do, they will change the subject and avoid the conversation.

A real good friend will tell you when you are fucking up, when you are doing stupid shit that is out of character. When you are being unrealistic about choices. When you need to face your problems when you are avoiding them.

THIS is when your pride gets you. ALOT of people hold themselves so high that when they need help they won't take it. That when they have problems they won't share and instead wallow in their own self pity cause they don't know the difference between good and bad friends.


I hope this has helped someone.

Because a GOOD friend would not sit back and watch you crumble.
