choose your friend wisely

I really don't choose friends, I'm friendly in nature. I make a lot of friends in school, most of my friends are my classmates. Most of the time we are good at having fun. We used to study together, eat and go to places in our vacant hours. I observed that some friends are pretentious, some abuse your skills and resources and others are just passers by. When I was in high school, I have one very special friend but unfortunately she found another group of friends and she left me alone and I was hurt because I trusted her so much and I was hurt to be left alone. I learned my lesson and that is not to give all your trust to a friend not unless he/she is worth it. Friends come and go and you are very fortunate to have a friends that stays and care for you. How I deal with my friends is to be flexible and observe their intentions towards me. I believe friendship grows stronger with time in caring and trusting each other.

What's the real friend. Who is not the person always keep "friend" in the month. Who is not running close to you. But the one who supply his selfless help in you bad time and the one who keep the friendship with you in your bottom of the life. I think we can make so many friends but as real friends would better be less.

That's true. I only have a hand-full of friends. I don't trust people right away. Although I have a very friendly aura, I set boundaries. I filter information and views I want to share. If I'm really comfortable with you as a friend then I can tell you more than the rest.

Yes, choosing friend is important. The problem is how. I agree that there are people that simply isn't worth or even harmful to get along with. The problem is we don't know they are like that when we are learning about them. These people will hide from us the downside in the personality when they approach us and all seems so wonderful and only until you have devoted all your time on them that they start to hurt you out.
