To all Guys here, Here's the truth about Friends or Family or anything

[trashKENNUT]

Hi Guys,

Here's the truth, No bitterness or happiness. You will only have ten or less friends who will be there for you. There's a quote, "You can count your friends with your two hands".

Stop believing that you must be all and all "cool". I am not saying that you should not learn social nuances. I am saying the truth as it is. I see my family invite family members who will only attend invitations if there is at least food. I see other families. I see friends. I see people whom you think is "cool" and they have friends flaking them on birthdays.

You know the biggest research i found? I learn that popular people in school weren't really popular in a sense. They just happen to be friendly on the first day of school and/or at the start of any social interactions.

Chase is right, Precedent is important. Lastly, the whole friendship thing is like marriage based on fate. Does it work that you believe you should love one person? Hell no. If it is so, you wouldn't lust for that girl across the street or you getting into another relationship right now, does it?

Don't fool yourself. "tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth".

Aristotle figured this out a long time ago

I forget how many he says, and I don't have the time to look it up, but I think it was like you can only have at most 5 Philia of Good.

There are 3 circles. Inner circle is Philia of Good (close friends), the next outer circle is Philia of Pleasure (play a sport together, sexual partners, enjoy a hobby together), and then the last outer circle is Philia of Utility (work friends, business connections, LinkedIn essentially).

Yes, this is true, but honestly that's all you really need is a small group of close friends.

In Aesop's fables there is a tale about the hare with many friends.

I ask myself.

I was the one who take "selfie" even before it was popular. Maybe not as bad as some people during Friendster but i was one who took selfies a lot. Why do things like selfies even exist.....

Exactly why do selfies even exist?
Why do forums exist?
Why do people look onto phones even when they are around their friends?
Why do people look onto facebook even infront of their friends?

The more i think about this, the more i realize the level of human consciousness today is more smarter and also more stupidier than ever. (if there's a ever a word called "stupid-ier".)
