Friends?

[GhostOfGanja]

hey everyone, this thread is about your friendships. I want to know if you are pretty happy with them, think they are pretty much dumbasses, or whatever your feelings are about them. I was inspired by a group of friends that were just soooo dumb, saying weed permanently damages your brain and if you smoke 10 times you will have lowered your IQ by 10 points... But anyway, do you wish you had more friends or anything like that?

I used to feel that my friendships we unbalanced. I saw that I provided more for them than they did for me. I have always been a better friend than I had returned to me when needed.
But it was my ego talking and placing expactations on them and desiring control of aspects of a relationship that should not need controling.
As long as there is mutual benefit in a relationship it doesnt matter who does more for the other or who shows more loyalty. I cannot expect them to be more like me can I? No, thats an obsurd thought. But , one that causes rifts and prevents many a person from enjoying what they have in front of them.
A friend is not an extention of ourselves but , go figure, a seperate person.
When expectations are not met it erodes our good feelings towards others and prevents us from sharing openly and drawing on the pool of enrichment offered.
So, now I expect nothing, I demand nothing, and I offer openly. Because if I react with ego, I do not change who they are...I change who I am.
And that, my friends, is not benefitting anyone and the only one hurt is me.
So, to answer your question, I am perfectly happy with my friendships.
I am open to more always and I do not remember "trespasses" and injury because I fel it takes away from me not them.
Even on these boards...I have read and commented on some pretty ignorant things some have said and done but I forget it and move on.
I might have disliked something someone said or did but it does not affect how much I love each and every one of you simply for being you.
I love everyone and dont reserve this for people who are more like me or act like I feel they should act.
Unconditional love friends....thats what its all about.


*gasps for air*
peace.

I would say I only have a couple of close friends.
A friend to me is a friend who is like family. Do things for each other without asking. Just that mental understanding you have of each other most of the time. Words understood without being spoken. You can be yourself without being judged.
Of course in this day we cant find such people because we're to based on materials and money.
I do actually have friends that are really close and do match these expectations I have for friends.
I'd say I'm pretty happy with the few friends I have.

Hmmm, a lot of my friends I'm not really friends with anymore. They haven't really grown up and are still living like they're 18. All they do is piss their money away and all of them, but one, are all into Meth, Cocaine, all that junk pretty much. The one is an alcoholic though, it runs in his family and I just don't like to see him like that. Plus, he drinks and drives all the time and pretends like it's okay.

I've known him for 15yrs, and I haven't seen him in months. I gave up drinking and dove more into cannabis. He's the opposite, he quit smoking and now drinks and drinks and drinks. He can spend his entire $900 paycheque in a weekend on girls and drinks if he could. Instead he blows all he can afford so he's broke for 2 more weeks.

All in all, I don't really see my old buddies too much. I have made a few new friends but they're not really friends. We just hang out and smoke each other up, otherwise we never call each other.

I like my time to myself and I always have, but at times it can get a little boring. I just use that time to find new and interesting things to do.

Funkymonkey, You and Birdgirl should fuse minds and turn this conflicted world into a beautiful eutopian society.
