Question of the Day Thursday 26th Aug

Good Afternoon Everyone

I am posting on behalf of Chris today (Snake_Lady)

So as this is a favour for a friend my question is related to friendships.....



How far would you go for your friends? And how do you deal with friends that live in some sort of fairytale land?


I back all my friends 100% even if i know what they are doing is wrong and will sit and listen and comfort them even though i know i cant fully be there for some of my friends

And i have started distancing myself from my "friends" that have themselves so wrapped up in themselves, I think i have finally decided i have had enough of all the lies they spin and its just not worth the hassle anymore

I honestly don't have a lot of close friends, maybe 2 or 3. Honestly, my best friend is my mom

I'm a very straight talker, if a friend of mine is doing something I don't think is a good idea, i tell them. This could be why I don't have many friends

but I would expect a person who truly calls themself a friend to be straight with me also. If there is one thing I can't stand, it's superficial "friendships". Now, if a friend makes a mistake, cause goodness knows we all make them, i will be there to help them, but i'm not above telling them I told you so

As far as living in a fairy tale, I'm at an age where most people have been rudely awakened from that fairy tale land

but I do not like drama, it stresses me out, even if it's not my drama. This is the reason that I am not very close with my sister, she is a total drama queen and I just can't deal with it, so I keep her at an arm's length. It's sad, cause I do love my sister and wish we were closer, but until she grows up, it's not happening

I used to be the person who would do ANYTHING for a friend, but after being constantly walked all over and stabbed in the back, I have many trust issues and tend to keep people at arms length. I have a lot of aquaintence, but very few true friends.

I am trying hard not to be a doormat anymore. I have very few close friends

That's me also. I will do just about anything for my true friends, unless it is a complete detriment to me, in which case I tell them so and being friends, they understand.

I have learned not to trust anyone. I have made some new friends lately but I wouldn't call them close. We go out together in couples and have a good time but that's it. It's a terrible way to live but being back stabbed too many times has left me with total mistrust of people. For me, it is a better way of life.

 

[pookie-poo]

I have a couple of close friends that I would do just about anything for....and I know that they would do the same for me. I don't really make friends very easily, and tend to take a long time to get to know someone well enough to call them a close friend. I haven't befriended anyone who lives in a fantasy-land, so I haven't had to deal with that.

I have one really close friend and I love her to pieces, I advise when needed but I would never tell her what to do, I am there for her all the time no matter what and we have both supported each other through some really tough times, we would do anything for each other. x

 

[amberthe bobcat]

For a friend who I can honestly say that I trust, I would do just about anything to help them. However for me, trust is something that is hard to come by. I trust my friends tiger and my wild cats, more than I trust most people at this point.

Friends and close relationships are one of the things that make our life on earth better. I have a relative who lives in a happy fairytale land while I think it is interesting, I figure it just protects them from whatever reality they are in.

 

[coolcat]

I really try to make all fro my friends...

 

[Winchester]

I don't have a wide circle of friends, but there are a few people I consider close friends and I love them and would do anything for them.

 

[keycube]

As someone who has been residing in fairytale land for years, I think I'm starting to realize why I have so very few friends.

Ah, but seriously. I don't believe in "unconditional love". If my mate is being an idiot, I'll tell them so. If they're being a malicious idiot, I'm gone.

That being said, if you're someone I wholeheartedly trust and respect, I'll follow you into Hell.
