Choosing Friends Wisely
We all need people in our lives, no matter how independent we think we are.
There are people who just like being alone and there are other people who have pride and likes doing everything by themselves, they still need someone to talk to, to laugh with and share their experience with.
The friends we choose and the people we follow affects how we feel and the kind of lives we live. Some people are pretty easy going, they meet someone and click immediately, other people are more careful because they have certain standards.
And for me, I’ve learned that having standards is important, I don’t just hang out with everyone. I observe to know who’s trustworthy. They are people who are fake and two faced, they’re not real. I want a friend who will always be there when things are hard, not when everything is going so smooth and easy.
A friend who is happy when I’m happy, not friends who wants to be around me when it benefits them. I can’t deal with fake people, I prefer you tell me the truth hard on.
And how do you know you made the right choice? You would not know at first, its just as if they have a mask on, but it’s definitely going to slip off later on. A good friend will show up when you need them and know when something is not right without you having to say anything.
I’ve had experiences where I had a friend and thought she was good but turned out to be like I made a mistake. I’ve been with people I just call my coursemates and neighbors but they turned out to be some of the most loyal people in my life.
And even though you have standards, you should also let things flow naturally. Fate always has a way to work. The right friend will come at the right time.
Not everyone smiling is truly friendly. Some people would be around you when you’re doing well but they disappear when things get rough. I would rather have one real friend than have five who are fake.
I met my best friend during my secondary school. We used to argue about everything at that time but she became my favorite person and I think its been three years now, and we’re still really close because we’ve always been there for eachother.
You don’t expect someone to be there for you when you’re not going to be there for them. Friendship is a give and take, I think. Both have to be supportive.
You point your fingers at people and say they are fake, but have you stopped for a minute to check yourself? To see if you are the problem?
Not all friendship is supposed to last forever, but you should not let the past ones that did not work out stop you from making new friends, you just have to pick wisely. I mean, nobody is perfect, not even you.

Choosing a friend is not an easy thing, but choosing right and finding the real makes life much better. Let things happen naturally, time will later reveal who’s real and who’s not.

We all actually needs someone to confide in at some point, letting things happen naturally is actually the best. Thanks for sharing 👍
I totally agree that friendship should be natural and not forced. Real friends show up when it matters most, not only when things are going smoothly. It’s always better to have one genuine friend than many fake ones.
