Friendships

All my relationships with people seem to require a lot of work.

I'd isolate myself, but I'm not that good at conversation.

 

I crave organic meaningful relationships, but other than with family, they are hard to come by.

 

Some of you might remember my post about the friend I'd been having problems with. It turns out that he has been hiding a great deal of information about himself--health worries, worries about losing his job, and a new relationship. He said he didn't want me to worry about him. The irony is that not hearing anything has led me to worry even more.

He says that he wants to remain friends. I think that he is sincere at least to a point, but the damage in the friendship means that it's going to take some real work. I'm willing to do it, but I find myself wondering if he is. If you can send some positive energy out my way, please by all means do so!

if someone wants to be a friend the're a friend. if they don't they don't. i've never understood persuing friendship. sounds like codependence to me. of course we all need to avoid making enimies. and maybe, we probably do more or less need at least some friends to survive. but we don't need expect or demand too much of any particular one of them. just keep track of what which ones can and can't be counted on for. and then still try to avoid counting on anyone more then we absolutely can't get out of having to. not because anyone is neccessarily any less intentionaly untrustworthy then anyone else, though undoubtedly some people might be, but simply because none of us are omnipotent, let alone infallable.
