Making friends may be usually easy, but having good ones is not everybody's cup of coffee. But I have also lost enough to understand that friendships are difficult, and the closer they are, the more difficult they become. This is also true for family relationships, but it’s very hard to escape your family. With friends, if you annoy them too much, they can just drop you. Within this simple fact lies one of the first principles of friendship - tread carefully. Friends are precious, even irreplaceable, but they are also fragile.

   
Generalisations along gender lines are always tricky, but - and this is a purely my personal observation - I think women sometimes struggle with friendship in the long run as they seem to have an unspoken pact that a friend should always be supportive. They just invest so much in each other. Men often accept a little grit in the ointment. One can tell a male friend to fuck off without losing his friendship. Female friendships can struggle when the faults in either party begin to surface. Friends, like marriage partners, love each other, but they must also be allowed to hate each other sometimes.

   
Human mistakes should be forgive in friendship inorder to keep it good for a long run. We have to except the fact that every person may or may not think how we use to think. Mentality may differ. Moreover, friendship also works on one more principle - Faith. Faith should lie for each other.

 
I had come across many fake and temporary ones, whom I thought would become my best ones. But, things were never so, in my case. Many of them formed their own groups. Never thought one would turn out that mean towards me, that they even forgot the time which we spent having fun and chilling with each other. The jokes we used to crack and make fun of each other. It hurts, when people we used to think to be the honest and supporting ones, turns out to be the ugliest ones ! Ugly, by their behaviour. Remembering of their behaviour makes me sad and at the same time, happy to learn a wonderful lesson. What I learned is - never expect anything from anyone. Never think that one would always stay beside you and support you !

 If we haven't got a friend what we have thought of, i.e. of the same mentality, have patience, every good things do take time !

Love.
