Trust me when I tell you most of the youth today don’t know the meaning of friendship. How can you wake up and classify everyone as your friend. Incase you didn’t know, we have something called an acquaintance. Then there’s also something called friendship. As an adult , you should be able to differentiate your friends from your acquaintances.
Personally, I have so many acquaintances but a few friends. For me to call you my friend, that would mean that I’ve come to know you inside out , I’m able to relate with you on a personal level and finally, I have been able to build some level of trust for you. I know that I can discuss a very important issue with my friends and they won’t go out to tell anyone about it.
My friends know I’m a no nonsense person and I wouldn’t lie to you just to make you happy. I see black and I say it’s black. Most people like to polish stuff just to make people like them. I believe a true friend is one who is always brutally honest with you no matter what. As my friend, I expect that you tell me the truth even if it’s going to hurt my feeling because I would also do same if the tables should turn.
Friendship is a very big word if you ask me. But today, we have just taken it so lightly. For most people, they only call you their friend because you go out to parties or clubbing with them, spray money around and come back home to gossip about others. As they say, your friend group defines who you are and that’s why I am very selective with who I befriend.
I’m a very ambitious person and so I wouldn’t befriend people who don’t even know what they want in life. Your friends are supposed to push you up to where ever you want to reach and vice versa. If my friend can’t have a positive impact in my life and I can’t also do same for them, then we are better off being strangers.
One thing I hate in my life so much is people who try to play the victim. I met one lady at an event last year and we started talking. She was a very nice person and I knew she liked my vibe because we could talk the whole day. Then, one particular day we were discussing something and she told me her take on the topic. I also gave my take on the issue and all of a sudden she ghosted me only to come back a week later to tell me she felt attacked. And I’m like really? So now someone is not allowed to have their own opinion anymore because you think otherwise. I thought we could become friends later in the future but right at that instant, I knew it wasn’t going to work out so I dumped her in the acquaintance basket.
A friend should be someone you can go to on both your good and bad days. A friend should be someone you can trust and feel comfortable around. A friend should be there for you, correct you when you’re wrong and also expect the same for you. Finally, a friend should be able to be your safe space.

Just like you, I categorise people in my life and I won't deceive you just to keep you around me. If you want to stay, you do but I will tell you the truth. I have a few friends and lots of acquaintances and I know the ones I truly trust and would share my stuff with. We need to be careful with some people who come around for the sake of friendship but stab you in the back later.
There's a big distinction between a friend and an acquaintance and I long learned to categorize people accordingly. Often times, I don't even hide it. I tell you to your face where you fall. I can't stress
that's right. People feel hurt when you call them acquaintances but thats actually what they are.
Friendship are good but not all friendships deserve to be keep but the right friendships is the best
you are right. Not everyone is your friend.
Sure some are chaffed

Joyful read, nice piece on friendship.
The kind of people(friends) you surround yourself with ,to an extend, could determine your character, sometimes attitudes, and even some your habits 😮 .
It's like they say, "show me your friends and I'll show you your character"
Your friends define who you are and its very important to have the right group of friends.

STOPNot everyone is your friend and you’re very right about that. We need to distinguish between friends and acquaintances. I remember I was asked at work how many friends I have. I said about 5 or less 😂 and they said didn’t believe me. I think they expected way more
This one like this, you know you are not my friend.
🤣🤣 did I say I want to be your friend?
Even if you did, you won’t be.
