Have you ever go the extra miles just to adhere to the friendship rule: “That’s what friends are for?”
But in the end that particular act left you feeling a little… betrayed?
Because when you needed help your friends just wouldn’t go the extra mile like you did?
Not that you expect anything in return for whatever favor that you have done for them. But, you just want them to appreciate relationship like you do and adhere to the same rule because well, that’s what friends are for, right?
I have. Almost all the time.
Sometimes, it happens when I least expect it to and from people whom I least expect to do it.
Which got me to thinking, is there anymore genuine friendship left in this world?
Or is everything now just a fake?
Is friendship just another prototype for people to experiment on and when they feel that person is unsuited to be their friend, they just turn their back against them?
Is friendship just another imitation to people in life?
What say you?

Dude, I totally get you. To be over dramatic: as a Survivor, I know exactly what you’re going through. I found an answer though: Expect nothing from nobody. Like really really nothing. Like you’d be surprised if they call.
When you expect the worst from people, if they do bad things to you, you’d be prepared mentally. If they do good things, you’d be pleasantly surprised.
Is it a bleak world? You’d be expecting a dagger in the back and be expecting that no one appreciates you [and not care about it] every second. But I learned to treasure the little things they do, the hello messages, the way they try to talk about you with you, more and at the same time, I’m not expecting them to repeat these niceties ever again. Some people say that I look down on others, I say screw them.
I was a needy and naive devotee to the BFF [Best Friends Forever] hypothesis but it’s been a year plus and I have not been feeling that feeling and I’ve been enjoying myself more. Win-win I tell you.
Blog-hopping from bil’s.

I did that too. But being a girl, and being me, naturally I like to see the good in people. Sometimes, they caught me off-guard whenever they’re doing whatever they’re doing to left me feeling like an idiot for doing the things that I do.

I guess u can say that I used to be that too. But when BFF turns to BTCH I’ve finally learned my lesson that nothing in this world is really what it seems to be. Nothing in this world are butterflies and rainbows anymore like it used to be during childhood and teen years.
Gosh Fuzzy, I didn’t expect to get a feedback on this topic at all actually. That was very insightful. Thanks for commenting.
