Friendships


I think I had a blog post about friends on my old profile and I recently (as in today) started thinking about friends again and what I want in a friend and vice versa.

I have different friends for each part of my personality (and I have a few different parts by the way). I have my friends that I go to for when I need Deep Serious Advice. I have other friends that I go to for when I need decompression. Others, I go to for Support. Others Nag me to take care of myself. Sometimes people overlap into different categories. And I'm not OCD enough to actually do a Venn Diagram of all the different ways. Some of my friends I have the luxury of seeing all the time and others I consider time spent with them a gift because I only get to see them on the rare occasions our schedules can line up accordingly. That doesn't mean I value one friend over another, but it just means our friendship has different dynamics.

I will tolerate a lot out of friends, as some of my friends from my more "recreational" adult life friends can and will attest to, but jealousy is one thing I cannot abide by. Another is complaining all the time about a certain thing that you have the power to change, but you won't or can't for whatever reason. It just pisses me the hell off.

I've been going through some major changes in my life to get all my shit in order, along with some health problems I've been coping with. I'm trying my best (and I know I'm a pain in the ass sometimes) to be better at learning when my specific condition is getting in the way of my life, but I'm a constant work in progress I know.

I suppose the point to this entry on this particular forum is: the friends who have stuck by me during this trying time (actually, I think a recurring theme is knowing me is sometimes trying [and I mean that in the best way possible]), thank you. Please slap me upside the head (either literally or some other way) if you think I'm being an idiot. But I really do appreciate those of you who's friendship I value so much.
