There are more than 2 types, but let’s say you had to pick one of these two types of friends for you, which one would you pick?
Type 1:
These people act all friendly and assure you that they will be there for you when you need them. But when you really need them, they back out or pretend that they didn’t know about your problem. Basically it turns out to be all talk, no action.
Type 2:
These people don’t normally act all friendly (in sense of showing their friendship) in the crowd. They don’t make any kind of promises but when you are in need of them/anything, they drop everything and they make sure they are there for you. In other words, no big talks, action only.
I would pick** Type 2** without giving it a 2nd thought. Those people who are reading this thread, you know who you are, thanks for being friends.
and if theyre friends we dont need assurances from thm :D
they better b there
As much as I would like to say your statement "we all like type 2 friends" is true, I can't say that. I have met people who had me on one hand (type 2) and there was another person (type 1) on the other hand.........they preferred type 1 because type 1 told them what they wanted to hear.
it is not easy to discern anyone, until the need arise for testng the real friendship. may we as friends to our friends, be able to keep ourselves really transparent infront of our friends, to hold our friendships fast and valued.
amen.
Have I had type 1 friends? Yes. Hence the reason of opening this thread. Same goes for people who keep saying they trust you and all…but then it turns out that they do stuff with others that shows they really don’t trust you. To give you an example, you and I have been friends for long time and I became recent friends with Dushwari. You ask me for my wedding pictures but I tell you look Lifey, I am sorry but I am not going to share my wedding pictures with anyone. Then you find out that Dushwari asked me for my wedding pictures and I share them with her. Although it’s my personal choice, but how would feel? What would you want to say about my claims “Lifey, you are one of my best friends, I trust you with everything”?
Dushi jee, don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean to say we can’t be transparent and show our friendship in words. That’s fine, not a problem at all. The problem comes when it’s time to help your friend in need. Talk doesn’t matter if you back out or make bahaney when your friend needs you. Of course that who didn’t do all the talk but came to help you turn out to be true friends.
^ i agree, Shikra. believe me, such people come about in everyone's life.
they can make all kinds of alibis and be so selfish that even when they are mistrating you, they want to look good, still. there is nothing more rotten than a hypocrisy-ridden 'friend'.
may God help such spirits.
I’ll show you the pics when my children get married I may be meeting Dushi face-to-face some time in the near future, you are more than welcome to join us
When you plan to come meet us, I’ll send you pix :D…even a better idea, I won’t send you the pix, I will tell you “I will be wearing blank pant, white shirt, and a red rose in my right hand and a book in my left hand”, that way you can recognize me
Offcourse Type II…but most of the friends i have are type I
And i can’t leave them just caz they arn’t ALWAYS there for me when i need them the most, sounds silly but hey they are there sometimes & i don’t expect much from them either so it works
I may be meeting Dushi face-to-face some time in the near future, you are more than welcome to join us
