Hey there!
My concern is on friends. There are times I feel doubts on friends or friendship depending how things go. I've a close female friend aka: best friend from church whom i known around 4 years almost going 5. Though I'm a couple years older than her. And some of the other friends I know longer too or within 2 or 3 years. However, my concern is how would I know if the friends I currently have would last longer? Sometimes I feel afraid if lost any of the friends I am currently hanging out with but I control my attachments to people. I also feel sometimes when friends get annoyed of me or I get annoyed of them of their actions or habits, it makes me think, are they good friends for me? lol.
Just like earlier today, I was kinda blah and moody somewhat because a group of friends where playing Truth or Dare outside baskin robbins and hanging out and generally I dislike that game for some reason and plus it was in public. Sometimes I play it but other times I don't. Anyways after that we are playing another game. At first I didn't want to play because I remembered of another game mixed with Truth and Dare cards or something of game which tells you to do an action. My close friend was a bit annoyed since she knows I was annoyed and she likes to insist that I cheer up or be happy...especially if its things I don't like to do or something not my forte in the group or something that is against my will. sometimes I do and sometimes I don't do the games. lolz. I'll admit I'm more or kill joy when party pooper on comes to playing games or certain games. Generally I hate games sometimes especially competitive games because of losing or something like that.
But yeah generally through out the day I did have fun.
I do blame myself for Killjoy since I don't like games and most of the friends I know like board games or that sort of games Truth or Dare.. I guess it's reason why people in generally think I'm no fun when it comes to games. I hate being competitive as well. And also this close friend of mine is also competitive when it comes to games or video games.. she always wins. I cannot stand sometimes that. I hate losing.. especially on card games.
As for friends, I don't know if I'm strong enough and handle situations. Sometimes I have "what ifs" in my mind about all the friends I have. In regards to friendship, sometimes I feel I'm the weak one and too sensitive especially sometimes when it comes to my closest female friend. I hate arguing with friends especially her. But I know I have seen not so good parts of her sometimes the way she is or her acts or attitudes. I have told her what I feel and we talked about all this stuff a few times before..
I just hope I can gain new good friends and also maintain the ones I have. Sometimes I'm afraid that I might lose friendship or be blamed for things. I'm afraid of getting hurt by friends and I've have gotten hurt by other people who used to be my friends.
Also another used to be closed friend, best friend from high school, who I always feel annoyed at before but still friends, hasn't communicated with me since last december or jan. At times I feel I need to distance from her because of the past we had. Sometimes she does text the best friend that I have met from church... though I haven't heard from her texting me. I also feel afraid that friends I'm making may drift off me and be taken away from some other friends making me lose friends.. Other than that, I'm also focusing on getting a job. Sometimes I also feel I don't have much friends to talk to. I just hope all is well.

I belong to a group of friends from High School. Half of us are now in the US. Well, they sometimes find time to have a small get together. But there are times that only two of them see each other on a regular basis coz they live closer to each other.
Half of us here live in different cities and we do have some get together parties, and we are always excited to exchange stories and experiences coz we do not often exchange sms messages. I admit that there are strains, well, somewhat gap among some of them, but when we get to have time to really have a good chance to chat, all those times that we were not in contact diminishes.

hey jenny1015, thanks for your response. That's cool you have a group of friends from High School. I never had a group of friends from high school. I didn't like my high school years because of the social stuff. I don't have any real friends and just one...but we had issues so I distance from her and people who were controlling and that I couldn't handle. We are friends but its not the same as it was before.
I was mostly a loner in school if not one friend. I didn't know how to make friends. Besides I just feel that once a person get to know me, they'll see how I really am, the annoying parts, the good parts, etc.
I got some nightmares about what if i currently lost the friends I'm hanging out with..
I know there are strains and sometimes a gap. I just hope the friends I have will be still the good friends they are as years passed by. Good input.
Hope all is well.

I was the quiet, shy type back in Grade School and High School. The friends I hang out with were the first people I met when I transferred to that school. The two of them being very outspoken and doesn't have issues of making friends, were the reason why I got lots of friends, thus forming a group. We simply call our group as "US Girls". Each member has different personalities which were able to blend in. We never had big fights with one another. And even after so many years, even if we seldom see each other, it still is one big bond.

Hey there dainy1313, thanks for your response. I just hope all is well. It seems some of my friends are seeing some of my actuations on things I don't like to do. I really don't know anymore. Like if it's something against my will, and I always say No on if the whole group insist on me playing a game, or forcing me to play, I would keep saying no and kinda be moody grumpy about a certain game like truth or dare. Now one of my close friend is chastising me on how I was acting which is true but in a way hurted me. She said i was rude and that I should let loose and have a fun a bit which is true. But generally I hate playing games... And I guess what stuff I don't like, sways people not to even hangout with me or something. It's like if she sees I'm moody and grumpy she'll go the same thing too at me even. I feel foolish but its late they all saw my actions today and this one friend is saying it as it is on how i was moody attitude when asking to play truth or dare stuff. Now I don't know what to feel anymore. I'm so blah and devasted with whatever is going on...hope to hear more soon.

Hi again dear Webgirl, I understand you very well, today I found a lovely quote it says
"The most beautiful line is: But I love you"
"The most painful line is: I love you but"
Don´t worry true friends will love you however you are: But I love you...
Fake friends will tell you: I love you but...
You don´t need fake friends just true friends.
Take care, look for peace and love in your heart.
Blessings Webgirl...dainy

Hey dainy1313,
Thanks for your response. Thanks for the interesting lovely quote on the love you.
I really don't know because I had overanalyzing thoughts in my mind about friendship or current friends I'm talking to.
I didn't know about the true friends and fake friends quote. Is there other ways about true friends and fake friends?
I guess its hard to make friends because people find it hard to get to know me. There's alot of stuff that I don't like that people like.. I admit that if people keep insisting and pushing my buttons to do forcefully play group games, I will make moody grumpy hissy fit or cry out of nowhere. I know it's just fun games but generally I hate games either because I hate the fact of losing because of a game. I also hate Truth and Dare games generally.
I haven't heard yet the painful line of "I love you but..." so I really don't know if the friends i have are those true friends even if I knew them for a couple of years.
I just hope all goes well. I have been in somber deep thoughts after my hangout.
I hope I can look for peace and love in my heart.. when it comes to being annoyed with friends and stuff, I tend to react which may think of me running and driving off or yelling at them..
From,
Webgirl
