A few, but Good ones

Tweet

I have always been brought up in such a way that there can't be many real friends. Usually, just a few. So far, this has been the case with me. I have been able to make many friends who would care, stay by my side, support when it's required. I, on the other hand, have always tried to help as many people as I can. Regardless of the time spent in the status of acquaintances. There could be a few things to consider. Of course, it's the level of interest. You have to have certain things in common that you will feel happy doing together (whatever it may be: playing games and sports, watching movies, sharing common hobbies). In the process of sharing those activities, you may have in-depth conversations, which is always beneficial because you can use that to find out the real nature of people. In such moments, certainly, you may have to let some individuals go. I, for example, used to communicate with a guy who later revealed to me his secret interest - white supremacy. He turned out to be a Nazi by his political persuasion, and that's when I stopped communicating with him - healthier for me and people around me. Other than activities you have to have an urge to help that particular person. Ask yourself a serious question - are you ready to jump in the fire and save him/her? Should be only a "yes" because if you're doubting that, perhaps, you're not such a good friend yourself, or, maybe, the other person is not worth it, thus, not worth the friendship. I say take your friendships as seriously as intimate relationships. I don't compare them, they're not the same. I am simply saying that a friend should be someone whom you can trust, defend, help, and vice versa. I have had unhealthy friendships before, and I'm done with that. One example of an unhealthy friendship was when one friend of mine was borrowing money form others. She kept asking me for the same thing. That's when I decided to distance myself because that person was never returning any money to others and cared not about getting a job. So, evaluate your friendships correctly. See what they're worth. Decide which ones are the best and keep them.
