Recommended: The true meaning of friendship

I have a choice. Do I pick him, the person who has been there for me for years? The person that never critisizes me, never insults me, and who always seems to have an open ear. Do I choose her, the person who has managed to give me more joy and happiness than anything else on this planet, but has also given me a wholly equal amount of heartache? Picking one over the other seems to be quite possibly the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. On the one hand I could just keep my long time friend and just let things go back to the way that they used to be. On the other hand I could take a shot with her. Maybe it works out and maybe it doesn't. If only it were that simple. I want to go with my gut feeling, and my gut is telling me

    At the beginning of the year the people I was hanging out with are amazing people, but they didn't make me feel welcome at the table. So in the first month of school, I had already switched tables. The friends that I migrated to are good people, who make terrible decisions. They made me feel pressured to hate certain people and act a certain way. I didn't realized how much this had affected my life until recently. Those friends made me feel like I had to have something wrong with me to be different, or fit in with them. When I finally realized what they were doing to me, I left. I moved to another table, these people are the best people ever. They reminded me that I don't have to have something wrong with me to be their friend. This point in my life was just a few weeks ago, and I already feel better than I have in a long time.

    These feelings can be contradictory at times. I have felt strong mixed emotions towards my best friend. After, we graduated from high school and began to start our college education, a feeling of disconnection stirs inside me. When we had conversations with each other recently it is clear to me we no longer gave anything in common. Since college, there has been personal growth within me. In my college experience, there are new friends I have made along the way. The overbearing feeling of arrogance is not my intentions, but we as friends have different goals and destinations in life. She is too concerned with her job rather than her college education. She calls me once in a while to brag about the rebellious things she does. For instance, she called me on a weekend to tell me about the thrill she got from speeding on the freeway. She claimed she felt alive going one hundred and twenty miles per hour on the freeway. The worst of it all is she does not have her license. In my mind I was maliciously hoping a police officer would appear and pull her over and take her to jail for the danger she put herself and others in. She does things i never would attempt. There is an inner indecisiveness regarding our

    I had two boyfriends in high-school, and I was sort of pushed into both relationships by my friends. Even though I liked both individuals, I had highly considering dating neither. In the first instance, I liked a guy and my friends told us we should date because I had never had a boyfriend. I agreed because I realized it might seem weird that I was 15 and had never had a boyfriend before. He was very kind and smart, but very “two faced”, and ended up cheating on me and being pretty emotionally abusive. The second guy was very intelligent and had an interesting sense of humor, but also ended up being incredibly emotionally abusive. Both were poor ideas on my part and very psychologically scaring, especially considering in both relationships I was struggling with my eating disorder, depression, and anxiety. When I came to college I met Sam, my current boyfriend, and we intend to get married when we graduate. Sam has had to help me deal with a lot of harmful thought processes that developed from those relationships, even though I had worked through many of them before coming to

    I took a long, hard look at the people around me and figured out what their good attributes were and why they were significant in my life. When I figured out who they were as people and what they could give as a friend, versus what I needed as a friend, I made my decision. It wasn’t a decision that was said out loud or one that was publicized. I just directed my energy towards the people who needed my friendship in return for the friendship they had shown me. When I realized who was a true friend and who was not, it hurt. There was a lot of pain, knowing somebody didn’t care as much about me and my well=being as I had wanted them to. It wasn’t until later, that I realized they could still be in my life, just not as much involved it as they once
