I wonder if we can be friends
@maria_23 got these set of questions from @Coolmidwestguy post about friends here.
Let's get on with it.
What is a friend to you?
There are certain levels of friendship. There's a degree how deep our relationship is with others. A friend to me doesn't have to be rich or famous or handsome or pretty. I don't care what your status is in life. What matters to me is your character and personality. It's not about how often we hang out or talk to each other. A friend is someone who helps out in anyway he/she can, kind, humble, treat others with respect.
Do you have a best friend?
Yup, my partner is my best friend. I do have several friends to but the ones who are dear to me are only a few.
Do you think having many similarities is necessary to become friends?
Not necessary but it can be fun and does make the bond stronger like doing the things you love such as traveling, food, sports, hobbies etc. It's great to share moments together. Building a relationship is finding common ground.
Having said that, having differences will also help you understand each other better. You get to learn from your friends too. For example, in your line of work. Although some of our friends work in the online industry, we don't do the same job and that's interesting for we share our experiences and we get to discover things.
Have you ended a friendship with someone?
More like falling out or being cautious. I am a nice guy. I don't make enemies because I don't like confrontations. So far I haven't been friends with someone who did something abhorrent. To those who did mistakes, I don't judge them on that alone. I don't burn bridges. I'm still friends with them if they want to.
I only met and worked with few people. From what personalities they have shown me, I learn to deal with those. I'm the kind of person who is reserved and not fully trust someone.
Others I have lost touch. Others we would reconnect every now and then.
Have you lost a best friend?
Luckily, I haven't. Maybe dogs? I have buried a lot of dogs back home.
Do women or men make better friends?
That really depends. I have more female friends than male friends but that doesn't mean women are better. It just depends on your personalities and how you make it work.
Do you believe in soulmate friends?
I believe that we give a portion of ourselves to every people we meet no matter how brief. We are all connected in a way. Therefore a part of us, a part of our souls stays with others and vice versa.
A soulmate does not have to be romantic but it can be your brother or other family member or loved ones.
Right friendship not means that status should be high and it also not matters that he should be famous he should be good with heart
