How comfortable do you feel with your friends?

Me and most of my friends are this way also. We pick right back up were we left off last time. I do have a few myself that becoming reacqanited wull seem awkard. As a matter of fact a old friend of mine I haven't seen in over 12 years. Found me on myspace and wants to come down where I live here to Florida to come visit me. So that proberly will be weried at first after so long.

I am very close to my close friends even though some of them I don't see from one year's end to the next. Does that make sense? You won't be too surprised to learn that I have rather more female friends than male. With them, we do just pick up like yesterday. With one or two males it is like that, but with some we have to ease back into our relationship. But it rarely takes too long. One of the things that I do find funny, is that the friends that I actually talk to on myLot, when we chat it is like we have known each other for years - yet I have only been a member for 3 months. I think it is because some of us are quite open here. Maybe more so than at home with our real life friends.

yes we have, same like we dont want to lose even 1 minute, specially those friend that never see them for a long time.

I won't have a relationship with someone... unless I feel confortable with them in the way you describe. I don't want to waste my time and energy with people who annoy me.

I had the most awesome evening last night on my regular evening out with my best friend as we had four other friends join us whom we had not seen in months and it was just like old home week. We have the kind of friendship where we bond again even though it has been months. One of my friends who is also a diabetic had appendix surgery and ended up getting a bad staph infection while in the hospital. his wound is still not healed and he has to wear a special machinne that feeds liquid antibiotics into his wound. I feel so sorry for him to go in for a routine surgery then get staph that is just awful. anyway we talked and joked and just had a really great evening.

Well, just like you, if I would group my friends, they would fall exactly under the same categories you mentioned. I sometimes don't understand why they have to change thinking how close we had been. Or maybe I was just a health insurance to them at that time we were close. I don't know. Most of the time, in our friendship, I am the giver and my friend would be the taker. I don't think I am something to be considered intimidating for them to be awkward about after having not seen me for a while. But there are those who are somehow, after my own heart. They know perfectly that it's okay to just talk to me the same way they did before. As if they knew what my would be reactions and they sure that nothing of me would harm them.

yes I do have friends like that that we just pick up where we left off. I don't really have any friends that it is real awkward, because those friends moved on and we are not in touch anymore.

I have only one friend I have not been in contact for quite a while. But when we do meet, it is just like no time has passed between us.

Yes, I have a friend that Ive had for over 40 years. At times our lives have gone in different directions and we've just lost touch for a couple of years. Then one of us will write or phone the other and it's like so natural. We just fall back in as if it were yesterday. Some friends are just keepers.

I have some extremely close friends who no matter how long it is between visits we are immediately comfortbale, its hugs and chat immediately, I have many aquanitances and sometimes if I haven't seen them for a while conversation can be a bit strained to begin with, probably cos one of the other is feeling guilty about not haveing seen each other for a while whereas with true friends no matter how much time has passed its just total acceptance of you for you which is fantastic. But to have friends I feel you need to be a friend eh! Ellie :D

I have a friend that we both moved in fifth grade and lost touch with each other but I never gave up on finding her so I looked her up on myspace and found her. We have not met face to face again but we talk quite often and its like nothing has changed.

well...i do feel the same..as much as i consider him/her as my special friends even if were not that close.off course you should feel happy when you see them after a long years....its been natural feeling for a friend you know...

yes ,i agree with you i have many close friends that i 've not seen for long time,because they have got there collage which far awy from me ,and i miss them very much.some of them i've not seen for two years.

i have many friends but very few trusted and reliable friends. they are my true friends... the kind of friend that will really tell you what they feel even if it will hurt you..they're there to discuss sensitive issues, they're there not to judge you and your decision and they will always be there at your lowest point, even if you're not asking them to be there. that, is real friendship... and even if we lost communication, no need to worry..our friendship can withstand long absences. once we get to talk again,it's just like nothing have happened....

I do maintain my relationship with my friends. For me, my friends are more important than say relatives. My dear friends are always there for my help and whenever I am in trouble and need their advice, they are always ready with their suggestions. I in fact also reciprocate, whenever they need me. I feel, life will be dull and boring without friends.

I'm so much comfortable with my friends that even if we don't get to see each other and hang out for weeks or months, it still feels like we've seen each other only yesterday. Maybe because we still keep in touch through text messages or YM every once in a while. Cheers!

yes even i do have some sort of friends just like you. We no matter did not talk for a while, even for months, and yet could manage from where we last met. Its really good feeling when we meet after a long time especially whom we like most. Whats your feeling in this regard?
