Is it possible for a person to be too busy at work, to the point of neglecting his friends? How would you feel if you were among his friends, and there came a time that you needed someone to talk to, and he was just too busy working? What would you do?

Yes It is possible for anyone to be busy, Just like me, I am too pre-occupied with my work. however, I don't buy the idea of neglecting any of my friends just because I am busy. We can always find the right time for the right special persons in our lives, just like our friends. We can find new works that will satisfy our daily needs, but we can never have true friends even with the use of our wealth, when we don't know how to value the real meaning of true friendship.

Thank you... That's why I don't understand my friend. Could it mean that he is simply cutting off our friendship by not doing his best to find time to even just say hello? I am really trying to understand that he is busy with work. But I just don't really get it why hasn't he been trying his best to communicate... Oh, well...

..hi ate.. sometimes, if I have to finish a work, I make an arrangement with my friend to meet somewhere after work then talk about her problems.. but sometimes, if I'm having problems too and I am confused on what to do and here comes my friend with a heavy load, parang tayo..hehe.. ayun, kahit my ginagawa ako, I would set it aside and share the burden.. but if I have a friend like that, then maybe, she's not really a friend because she can't even share her time for me.. I 'd better look for another person to talk too..:)

I know... Isn't it, if you're a true friend, then you can always find time for another friend when she needs you? Just in any way, make yourself be felt, so that you won't feel neglected... Too bad... Because I have a friend who just stopped communicating and he said he was too busy with work... Thanks Rayne...

Hello atebuds!
I think that most of us get really busy that we get to the point of sacrificing some of our other activities. I am a very busy person. Sometimes I wish I could have a good break, a vacation perhaps. But I can't because i am too busy. However, being busy should never be an excuse to neglect friends especially when they are in need. Yeah, maybe there are times when they would call on us for a night out or something not really important. In that case, I can say no to them and that for me is NOT neglecting. I am sure that they would understand.
