You know something? Apart from the mundane stuff like being afraid of opinions, Iam really afraid of friendship problems. I mean, Who isnt? Dont we all need that emotional support?? Don't we all need......friends?

Every friendship has different degrees. Whether its a close friendship, a distant one, or one which we only know by the name 'acquaintance' and when a friendship breaks apart, what hurts most?

Sometimes its very indirect. One might not even know it till you realise the person giving you the cold shoulder. I'd say that's upsetting enough.

What's more upsetting is when a person secretly holds a grudge against you but acts all ally pally. And every time this happens, the person feels no pain. Until the very end when someone actually says, "hey. You know that she doesn't like you right? " and the reality hits-HARD. The shock is enough to mask your thoughts and make u turn 'stark-white'

There's another type who will treat you badly. Then again, in this circumstance, one can remain at an arm's length distance.

Then? Those who secretly hate you but only allow you be with them when you do stuff for them. That's mad. Almost tantamount to bullying. Just a mental bullying. Not physical. And that, hurts even more.

I cant say for sure. My perception. If you think otherwise you've probably had different experiences. And the list is endless. That's why I believe friendships are as delicate as a one-piece glass. Once broken, can never be fully healed unless both parties are willing to produce an extra piece to glass to mend the broken one. However, when friends each play a part and add a piece of glass to the one-piece glass, the glass is stronger and can therefore withstand more knocks. Such friendships we want. And we can only attain this when the glass has been 1st broken. Its a vicious cycle.
