How to Deal With Friends Who Are Not There For You

This is a great subject; I am glad a follower asked me to write about dealing with a friend or friends that are not there for you. I am saddened to say that you will be surprised who will step up and help you in a time of need. And you also will be even more surprised at the friend or friends that are not there for you in this time of need. It is easy to be a friend in happy times; the world loves a good time. But get involved in some drama or financial loss and see where your best friend is, probably among the missing.

Trimming Your Facebook Friends List

Almost everyone has a Facebook account and everyone wants to add everyone. People you hardly know or you even don't know wants to add you to their friends' list. You end up with a friends list of people you hardly know or people who just wants to market to your network. I know how you feel and I'm listing here suggestions on how you can trim your friends list. Ask your friends if they still want to be in your friends list by sending a mass message. To make it more cordial, give them an alternative method of contacting you such as an email address or contact number.

Why Loyalty Is Important in a Good Friendship

What make a good friendship? I have been asked this many times and after much contemplation my answer is "loyalty'. I have decided to craft an article around the word that I feel is very important to any friendship and of course that word is "loyalty". A friend's loyalty is a wonderful virtue. When loyalty is missing other values will certainly suffer in any friendship. This is a quality that you should look for in a friend, as friendships can be very complicated at times, but loyalty between friends will hold the friendship together.

Can Friendship Be Enough?

Many people look at their close personal relationship with their 'significant other' and acknowledge that after the many years together the dynamics have evolved from when they first met. The heady, intoxicating mixture of lust, attraction, fascination, has somewhat abated as the years have gone by, submerged under the piles of dirty washing, business worries, family problems and so on. Daily life is lived on a fairly routine and often mundane basis and we are often too busy with cooking, shopping, work deadlines to be overly concerned at keeping that initial frisson.

The Friend Who Is Crazy About You!

Right across the face of the earth there is emerging an awareness of the value of friendship. You may be asking yourself who your friends really are, yet a friend remains what it is - someone who will be there for you especially when there is reason for him not to. A friend is that person who is not intimidated by your strengths and successes, and is not embarrassed by your weaknesses and failures. He is that person who increases your value and multiplies your virtue. As a true friend, my duty is to show you how a true friend behaves and how you can become one and impact your generation positively.

To Be Or Not to Be, Friends, That Is!

Recently, on an email service on the internet, I was told that my best and oldest friend was NOT my friend, and would I like to invite her to be my friend. This question also comes up constantly when you are social networking on the Internet. Despite the ease of communication reasons given, I believe the intention is to increase user numbers for the individual site - using the guise of ' friendship ', and abusing and demeaning the honesty of the word... and of the relationship the word epitomises.

Get Unstuck By Making New Friends

Just as we get in ruts doing the same things over and over again, we get in ruts with our friends. We find ourselves doing the same things, saying the same things and hearing the same things over and over again. Don't get me wrong, I am not advocating that you get rid of your old friends. I am suggesting that adding a new friend now and then will tune you in to new things and new ideas. It will freshen your life up a bit and will give you new things to talk about, see, hear and do. That can be an exhilarating addition to your life.

Who Are Your Temporary Friends?

We all have long-term friends, and it is sad that we can only count our true friends on one hand. Those real friends that will drop whatever they are doing and come to our aid in the midst of a crisis. Generally we can only count on one hand our family members who might do the same. It takes a long time to develop friends and those kinds of relationships, but they do exist. So then, who are all your other friends that we call friends; but they aren't that level of friend? After all, we all have acquaintances, friends, close friends, and even temporary friends.

Friendship - A Relationship of Support and Affection

Were we to define the word 'friendship', one of the greatest relationships in the world, we can summarize it in just two words. These words are 'Supportive Affection'. No relationship would survive if there is absence of affection between or among the persons involved. When affection is qualified with the factor of active 'support', there the real friendship emerges. The factor of supporting a friend could be active in many forms. Friendship would come into action when a friend faces some trouble and is in dire need of support and care.
