Friends are something that everyone needs to have to help either cope with life or just to cope in general. I know thorughout my life people who I have called friends have come and gone, but with each one of those relationships I have learned a little more about myself and life. Because our friends may not be carbon copies of us but they are similar otherwise we would not be attracted to them to have them in our lives.
What have you learned from your friends either about yourself or life? And remember even those friendships that ended badly can produce a positive outcome in your life. So search your brain and let loose....

I think we can learn so much about ourselves through others whether or not we consider them a friend or just an accquaintance. I have learned through my friends that the real friends will be there for you regardless of how much time has passed that you haven't spoken or seen each other. Real friends always have love and each other in their hearts.

Hello taface, I learn from my friends about understanding mostly, which is most important to get along with one another, as long as it exist between each other, friendship will not break down suddenly. On my part the bad end of friendship is not due to a divergency but oblivion, it wasted by time, so I feel increasingly the important to contact with one another in order to maintain a long term friendship.

The people in my life have only made me more cautious around people in general. I thought I could learn to trust someone and then my thoughts were diminished. I had lots of kids in my neighborhood growing up and only one has stayed with me. He is like me in many ways. I think that's why we shared a connection so fast when I moved here. It's unexplainable because it just is.

I have learned that I have made some friends that I thought were incredible and that they would always be there for me. Only to learn that things were not quite as what they had seemed. Then the people that I didn't think I could be as close with ended up being the better friend to me and are still around, even though we live in seperate places.
