who is more helpful friends or relatives?

For me, I always find my family and relatives are the people that I normally go to for help in times of need. I have loving and caring relatives, so issues of them being jealous, selfish and being silly is not really an issue for me. But considering I'm living overseas now away from most of my relatives, so I depend a lot on the friends I'm with now. Depending on how close am I to my friends, I could share my deepest feelings, thoughts and opinions with them just like I could share them with my family members. Overall, I would have to say that the help I get from both friends and relatives are more or less the same, and all of them are vital to me.....

I know friends are there for me.. But when I am in some trouble it is my parents only who helps me or some one from family. Or any thing urgent has to be done it is done either with the help of a family person or me all alone. It has many reasons like my friends live quite away from the place where I live. So they just can't come to me with a single phone call. There has to be a big reason for why they should to come to me.. Even I would hate to bother someone like this. I know family members are selfish , jealous and and playing games and stuff but at the end of the day I have found them only who will actually help me, and am not saying emotionally but in materially.. I have friends for my emotional support.

It sucks, but I know I can depend on my friends more than my family. Your family is supposed to be the one thing you can count on. Unfortunately, too many families are dysfunctional.

Hello,Rani! For me my family and relations are great.They always come to assist me when I sought their help.But friends they criticize me and try to exploit my simplicity.So I have very few friends who can be helpful to me,but sorry to say that one of them expired last April.He was really a good friend whom I trusted much.But......Sorry.

i have my frds helpful to me more because my relatives are far away frm me so i have just frds to live with....frds are more helpful than relatives...thts the fact dude!! happy mylotting...gud luck!!

in my case friends are more helpful as compared to my relatives...

I'll definitely say friends, because friends don't feel as obligated as relatives do, to help eachother.

I find my friends are more helpful because I do not have any family around to help me. I think my sisters would be johnny on the spot if they where near me.

giving is the way what you want to others make you the way what you want to you back..so i am helpful to all and i could say the friends and relatives are so much as even more as more helpful to me back they are really two sides of a coin which has made me to win as much as i can
