A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed, Or Is It?

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. But I have come to realise that the opposite seems to work more.

When things go bad, you're low and upset, you can call up friends and they end up always being that nice sympathiser, consoling, listening to problems. It's another ball game all together if they feel they need to do it or if it's genuine. Point is, they do.!

In happier times of course, the reverse seems to happen. If you're happy with the person in question, they might listen to your happy stories. Again though, if you end up happier than they were at the same event, boy oh boy are you in for a shock! They don't want to know the fun moments you had, they'll just get pissed off that you had fun.!

IF you made the mistake of telling someone your happy/fun/good times stories, who wasn't even there at the event, but was still happy doing his/her own thing, you're screwed beyond words!! They don't give a damn!! They don't want to hear it.

It's a pity that one friend can make another one feel left out. As hard as it is to accept, all of us have done it to someone else. Emotions can not be controlled, but to show them or not is completely in your hands. I'm not saying keep feeling angry but just suppress it, what I'm saying is that think about it rationally. Go through you own past and find a similar spot in your life. If someone is going on and on about how fabulous their life is, anyone can get snappy. But when it comes to the level that not even one positive thing from your life can be mentioned without inviting a condescending remark from a friend, you know there is something wrong somewhere.

Live and Let Live.

I apologise for not apologising to people because I'm happy.

I'm happy and I'm loving it.!!

P.S. - Exceptions are always there and it is the exceptions that make the rule.!!
