Circle of friends, words mean so much right? Who will you consider as your circle of friends? Are they those who walked through your life before? No matter how bad or how silly the friend was, he/she still includes inside the circle right? Those friends are those who know you the most and understand you or accept you for who you are.
How about those friends who hurted you before, when looking back after many years is he/she still includes in the circle? Those are people who walked pass your life before. Will you still consider him/her as one in the circle of friend?
So, how do you see about circle of friends?
Cool right?

Yes, Lady Autumn, I agree with Luz and Freebird......all I know is that there's no-one in my life...now or in the past that wasn't meant to be there for a special reason.....yes, some bring great joy...others sorrow....but I have learnt something about life and about myself from each and every one of them......it probably takes 5 or 6 friends to make up the one "got it all friend" - we are all looking for......

I've learned in life that I don't need friends, at all, but that I'm happy to have them when the good ones come along. I cut out all of my friends from high school (because they were pretty much all...undesirable friends), and don't feel the worse for it really. I occasionally have pangs of "I miss her", but they're very occasional, and I soon remember what she did that wasn't cool. So...my opinion is that if a person comes along who actually exhibits loyalty and is always honest, I hold on to them, as that's rare. But the others can swim on by, and I'll be happy to wave as we pass in our opposite directions.

U know sometimes it's hard to get your friends to understand you for who you are, even though good friends, buddies that you get through your life altogether and know you for many years.Have u ever experience that? In some way, sometimes it's disappointe to learn the truth that your friends not really know u much when u're in a bad situation. In other way,u understand and know them more and gave out your comfortion to them when they in needs at the time.I'm thinking that probably in life we couldn't have ask so much but just seeing that u can know yourself for who you are is already enough.

In what way to open up yourself only others will see the way you truly are? Do you truly open up whatever/whoever u're to your friends? Truly speaking,i've always been taken as a tough friend all those time,i seldom speak my problems (always take it personally) but being a good listener to them. I've always like to share my weakness and let them know the real me but things always turn out to be the other way. Most of the time i really like my friends accept me for who am i and console me when me in needs just like them have me, but not the always tough me.... Probably the world's different now, ppl always seek for perfection in their friend as well....
Probably i just need to give them a little time to adjust and take me for who am i.Probably i not even need to try and let it be just that.
Sometimes, it's just make me scare to open up myself a lots cos it creates lots of gossips among friends that i don't really like!Everyone has secret of their own that no need to share with their friends.....
Ohhh.... just posting nonsense... somehow feeling better
Probably you'd gone through this moment b4 ...?

I believe I understand what you are getting at... Personally, human relations makes no sense to me. People treat eachother like butter. People are your best friend one day and then turn around and stab you in the back the next. I don't get it. I've never been the most popular person in the world, not because I was afraid to open up, just because I never felt the need to. I try my hardest to be honest about everything, I really don't have anything to hide. However, I do find that more than not, I'm the one who does the listening and consoling than the one who needs to be consoled. And I understand when a person get's this kind of image, it's even harder to find a really good friend to confide in. I don't have many close friends that I really know I can trust, maybe two, but that's all. It's hard, because most of the time I perfer my space and to be left alone, but when you have those natural habbits, people don't recieve you as well when you really need them. It's depressing. But honestly, you've just got to count your blessings. Be happy with the close friends you have, maintain your relationships with them, and don't worry so much about those relations that aren't as close. The world's an impermanent thing. Who knows who you'll meet tomorrow.

Hello Everyone,
I saw the topic "Circle of Friends". I had to reply on it. At one point and time, I use to think that friendship was over-rated and I thought that there was no such thing as a "best friend". After enduring rejection from the neighborhood children and physical abouse from a drug addicted uncle all during childhood. I grew up believing that there was no such thing as a friend or a "best friend" because I had none. All of that changed atfer I went to Iraq. I've made a few friends that stays in contact with me today. My best friend became my "best friend" after reciprocating all of my kindness. You see, when we first met, alot of people gave him a hard time due to some of things he done in his past. Me? I was aware of his past, but I never judged him. I was nice to him and helped him when he as in trouble. I was a shoulder to lean on. Then one day, I began having trouble of my own. He was there for me like no other.That was when he became my best friend. I was super stressed from migraines, studying for an exam, and my sister writing suicidal letters. He saw I was in trouble, so he kidnapped me for a weekend of jet skiing water sports in North Carolina. Friends are not over rated.
