Knowing everything about yourself... and I mean getting underneath the surface layer of obfuscating thoughts that manifest themselves through cycling, repetitive stories, to really know your inner self, there is an innate need to transcend one's own egoic tendencies that drive one to do nothing but seek pleasure and maintain security, however due the constrained conditions of this generation, this voice often dominates our perceptions. IMO, this makes authentic friendships harder to establish due to narcissitic tendencies.
Digressing, sorry, but how do you rate yourself as a friend, are you fun? do you embody loyalty, are you supportive, have you been dependable, do you establish trust in your friends, are you the voice of inspiration that needs to be expressed to uplift a friend in need? Are you appreciative in your relationship with them and express this appreciation? Have you been generous with a friend in need? Have you ever had to be the voice of regulation in keeping a friend in check?
Or on the flip side are there relationships you are in that aren't going anywhere except downhill and you are just being bound by a past centered way of living. This is also not kewl... it just builds up more resentment and frustration... sometimes the best thing a friend can do is move on.
Do you have alot of acquaintances but only a tight circle you would consider friends? To me friendship is one of the most overlooked virtues of life,how can one live and not have friends? To be understood and appreciated are two monumental emotional states that we are all driven towards. I mean through friendship gives one a strong sense of meaning and promotes the mindset of getting past yourself and serving a higher purpose...
I've made a few friends here, peeps who have an admirable, dynamic manner of perceiving things... S O, who is my closest friend, thinks we are all dorks for communicating through this medium... and maybe I am, but oh well.
But yeah, having friends rocks.
Are you a good friend or have you taken this dynamic for granted?
What are somethings you do well or could be better at?
Impossible to really rate yourself, but its just for kicks...
