What is it? We meet people and in an instance we consider the possibilty of friendship, we invite them to future events and plan what we will doing in a month from now; but we only met them an hour ago! There is an instant click with some people and you will see them being your best friends forever or till the day you die. Most of the time you see best friend qualities in people, but really they are not worthy of the title - they become somewhat of a temporary gift, that you are only allowed test run and then you either submit the results or toss it in the bin - so clearly what is the whole point.
I have my best friends and close friends and then I also have the occasional friends. My best friends are the ones have made an impact on my life and have been there to support me through the hard times. My close friends are the ones who now we to well and know when I am not my self and the occasional friends are those I haven't spoke to in many months, even years, but they still know what I'm all about; unless I dramatically change and there is a much needed reunion.
We meet people everyday, we share life with them, but honestly that does not make them automatically a friend - they are just a person we know for now - that is until we have met several times and they get their staus badge. Some people are looking for comfort in other people and they automatically suggest that you are already friends - this kinda pisses me off and does make me consider why should I bother? Offically facebook for me is getting shite, but it's the only place for me to keep in contact with my actual friends, I have considered deleting everyone I have not spoke to in six months and just have the friends on there that are interested in my current life; such as the people who are in my phone and my family! One day this is about to come about and people may shit themselves wondering why I have de-friended them and this is the suggesting of my title - "To be friendly or not to be friendly..." - of course people will say it works both ways, but I have sent messages to people and still had no reply. I'm currently at 199 friends on facebook, when I once had close to 500 and I still want to reduce the numbers. It is almost like I wish to start again...
In honest the amount of friends I have rid my life of are the ones who carry bloody knives around with them ready to stab me in the back once again. I cannot stadn people who lie or afraid to say what needs to be said to your face. You cannot go through life hiding in the shadows, you have to stay out in the light and be true to the nature of your soul. Oooo that was a bit deep, but I'm deep and true!
Okay so leaving with the original question - To be friendly or not to be friendly... What ever a question?
