Agreeing and offering support are two completely different things for me.
Of course I don't agree with everything they say or do and actually enjoy our debates in which we disagree with each other, but if they need emotional support, I'm here for them. I give advice if they need, but don't get offended if they are not following it. Why should they...? Their life, their personality, needs and wants....their decision.
My Aqua friend jokes that I never take her advice. She’s right because her advice sucks but I DO listen to what she has to say. I just do the opposite. To be fair, she never takes my advice either. That’s how air signs roll. 🤣
I don't often ask my friends for much support. Mostly I ask people, like my brother, who would know much more than I do. But I will give my unfiltered opinion on something. It's usually meant well because I've observed them from afar. I feel completely bad one time when my best friend asked me if I would be willing to sponsor her or give a written thing on whether she was a good dog owner so that she could adopt a second dog. I hesitated and she got the message but at the same time, she understood and got someone else to do it.
But I mean, to this day, her dogs still act up. She's frustrated with the second one because it turned neurotic and it lunges at people, but doesn't bite them. I mean.. I dunno. We're there for each other but there are limitations. Honestly is usually the best policy.
yeah our inner (spoilt-bratty) hidden selves that is only comfortable around them ,or family, most often would rather not have that "reality check" or wake-up call from them ?
from parents yes. i mean.
to say , most i think we'd rather be childlike with our bestfriends than tippytoe on "responsibility".. or put ourselves on a responsible/adult cacoon.
i see the 11th house , and aquarius' need to REBEL against established order.. play here. in this case established "how to be friends"-wikihow tips haha.

Do you expect your (best) friends to always agree with you, not in taste or anything, but like decisions?
Not always … I think friends can still give support even if they’re not in agreement with your choices?
Do you expect them to support you, no matter what?
I’ve no expectations from anyone - I support myself so if others do, it’s a bonus
Do you believe your friend can both support you and disagree with you at the same time?
Yes I do
What would that mean for you and how would you handle that?
I’d be fine with it as I’d rather she/they be honest with me …
What would a conversation between you two look like for you? Or would it be a friendship breaker?
I’m not sure what you’re asking here Abby?
Idk. I had some disagreement recently with someone I consider as a friend. She voiced her opinion regarding the matter. Didn't get into details but I blamed it on us having different standards. I like what I like and it is never up for discussion, not if anyone is trying to change my mind. I'm set in my ways.
I want my friends to listen to me but not necessarily agree with me. When it comes to decision-making, it's good to get other people's perspective. I find that a friend who always agrees with me doesn't care for me as much. I could be making the biggest mistake of my life and she's not stopping me? That will be the worst.
I'm also the same. With my friends, I don't always agree. I offer my opinion. If they don't want to follow that's on them. Just don't come back to me with the same problem lol
I don't expect friends to agree with all of my decisions. I don't agree with everything they do or think but ultimately I think we're all adults and should be able to make our own decisions. They're my choices and (mistakes?) to make. Ofc they can voice their concerns and vice versa but in the end we're responsible for our own actions.
Unless they're doing something that's totally against my values then I will support them even if I don't necessarily agree with it.
I expect him to tell me the truth regardless. It'll either confirm what I already know or give perspective on something I hadn't considered fully. That's whats great about the Cap/Aqua dynamic; no one's offended by the truth or how something was said. Makes it easier to get to the heart of matters.
Personally no. My best friend is exactly that because he actually will disagree with me on certain things. We argue like siblings. Somewhat rivals at times, which is exactly the type of person I need in my life. I wouldn't even consider us equal on many things in life, but it's the closest thing live ever gave me to an equal which I actually cherish quite deeply.
