Do We Really Need To Have Friends???

[Marco Zen]

I overheard a conversation earlier between some people that were discussing friendships.. And how important it is to be a good friend to the person you consider your friend...


Then I got to thinking



Am I a good friend??




Wait... Do I even have friends to be a good friend to?




I have a small circle of people I fukk with faithfully but they consist mostly of actual family. ... Everyone else I fukk with outside that circle is mostly bytches. If i have free time to hang out with somebody (that's not family) its probably gonna be with a woman

I don't have a homeboy or a crew of nikkaz I get with and go hoop with or have poker/spades night with, share a 12pack with, burn one with..


Come to think of it I don't hang out with any males whatsoever that aren't family..

I know alot of nikkaz. nikkaz I can call if I wanna chop it up or if i need help moving furniture or borrow a chainsaw.. But I don't hang wit the mfs...


The only dudes I know that I consider "real friends" are my childhood day ones but they're 900 miles away.. I see them maybe once every 2 or 3 years..



So... Is it important to have friends in your life???

I mean really it's harder to maintain them as you get older for a variety of reasons

but if they worth it and everybody cool

they worth keeping in contact with. imo

Yep. If you dont have friends you most likely hella clingy with your girlfriend cus u stuffin her in all the boxes. (Friend, girlfriend, therapist, etc.)

Lemme take that back. Unlessss you have male family members that u rock with to be able to shoot the shyt with, have guy time with and what not.

But if you dont, most likely you’re becoming wacker by the day because you have no release. Gotta have a good balance between your female relationships and male relationships.

Zero balance is unhealthy whether you want to believe it or not.

3 best friends is all you need in life

Anything beyond that is a waste of your time

It's better to have a large social circle than a small one, generally speaking.

Managing relationships is vital to success.

It's not important at all. I have zero and I'm at a high level of peace & comfort. The more friends, the more drama. They say you should have a small number of friends, but I don't even want that. Just not my thing.

I may come off biter & everyone's experience is different but my sayin is - u're born alone, u die alone. Only
trust yourself.

Ive been 100 with people, genuine, looked out & honest yet never gotten shyt (or those similar things) back. & i didnt do those things expecting
it back but i at least thought those ppl could be honest or hear me out when i needed it. My word is my bond. 99,9% people? Just talk.

So now i ride dolo & have been since i was 17-18 & im 30 now. Its sad, its loney & i dont necessarily want it that way but
thats how its become for me.

But to answer your thread..

Do we need it? I guess for social reasons. U do grow when u socialize. But truth is when u become an adult? Most of ur "friends" are gone. Everybody walks different directions & split up. This is why most get into relationships & build families @ those times.

Idk how old u are but i thought exactly like u when i was younger.

Now im my late 20s-30s i felt like that thinking wasnt good for me. Or anyone. In the long run
u'll regret it, at least imo.

I’m not social but this is a First World opinion

We need people

We may not like that we need them but we do

Watch a survival show for proof

Friends are just life’s way of making sure that there are some people who will look out for you

That nikka said not having a bunch of nikkaz to hang out with makes you Wacker by the day

Who said that

 

[Music Fiend]

You need friends breh.

Dont listen to anyone who says you don't. Building relationships is about the most important thing you can do in life along with maintaining relationships w/family and what not.

Your ppl should support you and friends will be able to tell u a lot more about yourself and the way you move than you can ever know on your own

It's great to have friends. However, you don't necessarily need a group of them like TV likes it to sell it.

I don't like people like that. Like, professionally I can be extremely personable, friendly and caring, but personally I'm not trying to deal with all that.

Here’s how you know if you’re a good friend or if you have good friends:

If they call or message you to see how you are and NOT to ask you to do them a favor. It’s that simple.

I can only think of three friends like this. And I’m a misanthrope, so to be friend with me means you’re a person who’s truly proven themselves.
