fake friend or real enemy?

Nikki was telling me about her problem with friends lately. It was a little similar to what Alex encountered, guess many people have encountered it at one time or another.

It was like more than the 3rd time she was telling me about it. I thought it could be the time of the month, but think the issue is quite clear and present. Nikki feels that she is treating her friends more than they treat her in return. It is like when they have problem she is there for them, but when she wants to talk about serious things with them, they just shrug it off. So she just doesn't know whom she can confide in. She also said that they said she looks arrogant.

Hmm.. I guess you can't do much about arrogant look, unless you smile more? So I told her (the previous time, not last night) if it is so hypocritical, she might as well don't clique with them. But she doesn't want to be alone -_-# hmmm... but it is like saying you join street gangs cos you don't want to be alone... If you don't feel happy being in the group, then why force yourself to be in??

So sweet! She said she doesn't know who to talk to but I'm a good listener!! Argh I don't want to get diabetes!! Sometimes I just don't know if I've assumed the wrong role and care too much. It is like even 30+ yr old women in the forum, I would talk to them about their marriage problems... am I like.... getting overboard in trying to be caring?

  • sometimes its in your nature to be caring. So don't need to think too much about it. :)

    My issue? its really a matter of expectations.... need to be realistic, and need to make sure that well.... we adapt.

  • yup, it is all about adaptation. So I told her to lower her expectation and just take what they can give, not ask for more.

    it is like how do you expect a coffee machine to churn out coca cola...

  • hmm. so should we or shouldn't we expect anything from our friends?
    Ain't there supposed to be some traits in them that make them worthy to be our friends? Well maybe not the practical value kind but, i dunno, it just gets a little abstract and contradicting. On one hand we want to give unconditionally, on the other hand we don't feel just and fair.

    Of course the ideal case would be the whole world is our friends, so the term friend or not means nothing anymore.
