the only assets in life

It appears you are not experienced in valuing the assets of one's life. Only at the end of teenage such feeling will crop up but will not last long. In my opinion self is the only asset in life. For some it may become liability also.

I certainly don't agree with that. If you have a fight with one of your friends than your friendship maybe over for life. I think that only some friends stay (rarely!). I was once framed by someone I can't remember and my friends stood for me at that time. That was the time I began to trust my friends deeply.

Everyone leaves, eventually, including friends. It's a part of life. My bestfriend and I got int a huge fight a couple years ago, and it was so bad that she told me that she didn't ever want to talk to me. She told me to stay out of her life. She blocked my calls, emails, everything. I wasn't given the chance to explain myself or anything, it was just the end. That hurt alot. We had been bestfriends over 5 years, and we were pretty close. We went almost a whole year w/o talking. She contacted me again and wanted to be friends again. we are friends, but it will never be the same. I have witnessed her telling another one of her best friends to stay out of her life, so I figure it's only a matter of time before she tells me again. So, i'm very careful of what i say and how i act, but even then she still finds a way to chew me out for whatever mistake i've made. It's just not the same, and it's a shame, because it shouldn't be that way. It shouldn't have even ended up that way, but it did. that's what happens when you allow people to get very close to you. Families treat each other the in the worst possible way. the more comfortable you get w/ someone, the less likely you are going to be nice to them like you would to others you just met. and that is how she is w/ me. i'm glad she's that comfortable around me, but she doesn't realize how much she hurts me. she flies off the handle at whatever mistakes i make, and she doesn't even realize it. she's not a very forgiving person, either. I hate saying those things about her, but it's true and she won't listen if i tell her. at the same time, nobody is allowed to say anything about her to me or they'll leave w/ a black eye when i'm done w/ them. lol. and, i'd do anything for her, and i think it goes both ways between the both of us.

" but friends stay, do u agree?" Not at all...In fact I think that friends are the most likely to leave from our lives as time goes on.... Realistically speaking though, EVERYONE leaves at one point or another

hi there fortunately for me we live in joint family consisting total of 20 members who help each other in thick and thin. yes there are many things in life that u cannot share with family but only with friends. and as for ur ? i felt the value of a friend when one of my closest friend passed away
