ah but I do have friends! good friends too, no problems with that. Just not the definition of a "true friend" that came about here.
I wouldn't be surprised if they feared my reaction if they disagreed as that would result in me thinking out loud and suddenly they have to evaluate their statements. Scary thing for some people.
A true friend'll understand you, but only if you're open with them and tell them what your innermost thoughts are. That way, they learn to respect your feelings and to know how honest they can be with you.
really? then how come the last two times I've discussed my personal life and thoughts, the kind I don't want lain bare for the world those things come up in conversations with strangers? Perhaps you are right, perhaps my expectations are too high for people aged between 20-30....
