Friendship dont last but we still need friends at different place and different time in our life . Setting Limits in Friendships Friendships as well as all other relationships must have limits. You set limits with your friends because you care for them and your relationship with them, not because you don't. Manipulation: Manipulation in friendship do appear .If you think you are being manipulated, either by a friend, mate/lover, then you have to think twice whether to stay on the friendship . As for me ,actually i dont ask much .. For me , perhaps the most fundamental must in a friend is to at least have SOME priority in you ; which would show that he care. even if there's ONLY one friend .. i would really be contented as i dun have much frens actually . so ya .. appreciate & cheers. = ) |
