My definition of 'friend'
Friday, May 29, 2009
Everyone have different opinions on the word 'friend'. Some will treat everyone they talk too in their life as a friend. For me, just by talking to someone does not mean they are my friend. I hope YOU will respect my value and attitude of a 'friend'.
In my definition...
Friend
A friend is someone I can talk too when I'm upset and down. A friend is someone I love hanging out with and I feel absolutely comfortable around them. I can be myself when I'm around them. I don't care what they think of me because we've come to a point in our friendship where we could dislike each other or get in fight but we know that we will still remain as friends (most of the time). A friend is someone that I would love to hang out with on the weekends and when I have a party, I would always think of inviting them. If I have a secret to tell, I would love for them to hear it.
Acquaintance
Acquaintance on the other hand..I know them, that's it. Most of my acquaintance are more of a 'hi'..'bye' friend. We seldom talk in real life but we know each other. BUT when I feel the need to find someone to hang out with, I wouldn't really think of them first. Only and only because we are just acquaintance. Acquaintance means there is a certain point in the relationship where if I had a secret, I wouldn't really think of telling you first-hand. You could say, we aren't at the 'trust' level of a friend. Acquaintance is different from a friend, I don't feel AS comfortable around them as I feel around people I regard as my friend.
To make it EVEN easier to understand...
If I saw my 'friend', I would say HELLO! and maybe even hang out with them for a while..
If I saw my 'acquaintance', I would say HELLO! only if our eyes meet..
I hope after YOU read this, you understand my value of a friend.
I don't want to lie to you and say your my 'friend' when in my point of view we'll not.
I'm sorry if it sounds harsh but I've tried to make it sound as nice as I could.
&& so far, im not sure if its working
&& I hope I made things clearer.
As for the question on why is it so hard for me to take someone as a friend..
Its not. I mean, I love making new friends but every friends was once an acquaintance.
If you feel the need to be angry or upset & you no longer count me as your 'friend'..
suit yourself
If a friend told me that, I would be 'heart broken'
If an acquaintance told me that, I would be like o__o hokay.
but we don't really know each other...
we've had probably 1 real conversation in real life..
so I don't think there is anything to get upset about.
P.S: Talking virtually on MSN does not count ;)
P.P.S: Jeremy said I don't sound harsh. I just sound like MAY!
