ok when its mom scarlett turns to talk...i can't help but look also for my security blanket, curl and cry my heart out...

somehow, during the course of my stay here (and while staying here)..i manage to see the intentions of people around me...some frustrate/disappoints me, some made me speechless for proving to be a good person, some i dont know what are doing with their lives (though i tried my best to help 'em out..turned out to be "i dont know")..you can't please anyone...and my right to choose someone i want to be with...got more to say but better *ummmp*

Darude, sucking thimb as in feeling vulnerable. Thanks for the friends part.

TCOM, now now. Keep your cool. To make new friends one requires investing time to gel with them. Lot of hard work, not like my university days.

I definitely understand what you mean...the people who pretend to be your friend, and you find out that they are talking about you behind your back (or worse) and its not even the truth...I call those poison friends...

A true friend will always be there for you, hold your hand or hug you when you are down and need help, will drop whatever they are doing if you call and need a shoulder to lean on...or sit beside you in jail and tell you what a really GOOD time y'all had until the police came...(teasing on the last one! they bail you out of jail with their last dime)

tcom, if they seem to gave on themselves, why would you bother?...mess their own life, why would you try to fix it for them and eventually let you go down with them as well,where all you did was to help?...

I just noticed a couple of lines about your freindships...I just want to quickly add that as Life moves on, at every stage of life you meet new people, what you have to decide is, whom to regard as a True Friend and carry forward through the later stages of life, and not deny friendships from new people, keeping in mind the old ones....

This is life my dear, you gotto move on, make new friends, and see if you can find a few that you can regard as real good friends...(before you met old friends, you didn't know them did you...you gave them a chance to be your friend and then you became real buddies and now you miss them...)

Look around buddy, there could be a couple of people, who could your buddies for this phase of your life...

And apart from all the gyaan talk, hows everyone doing...

friends of convinience..........however sometimes we must realise that everyone here has his/her own problems to attend to and they might not be there for you at a particular time. We must not give up on them just like that.

ok with regards to friends...just want to share my thoughts (my sentiments, if you want to call it that way).....i easily open up to people, make them friends but sadly here in Qatar i find them mean/thick face...they will just use you and the meaning of friendship here is so shallow..they are your friends only when times of happiness/fun..but through rough times you will not see any of them...

i have issues with people here whom i think were friends...just ugh!..don't want to say anymore...:/

or maybe you dont have a friend! J/k

Seriously can you answer this? Friendship???

Is it when things gone wrong, you step aside, walk away and move on OR you will keep going with a blind spot?

Thanks.
