When do you consider someone a friend?
Is it when you regularly meet up for drinks?
Or when you see them as an extension of your family?

Its almost impossible to be my friend these days.
My requirements are so high up that no mortal being actually can reach them.
Its as if I do it on purpose so no one can actually come close to me.
I dont likehalf-assing; there is no middle ground for me.
My first rule for being a good friend?
Let go of ones ego and be self aware of your own actions.
Know when to apologize and take the blame if its yours to take.
Know how to really listen and take someone seriously.
Know how to genuinely say sorry if you have hurt someone, whether or not it was on purpose.
Its a give and take no need to keeping score in how well you are playing the friendship game.
Be adaptable without letting someone walk all over you.
Thats why Im still failing to open up myself again.
Making friends is as tricky as gambling.
Is it really too much to ask to be a decent human being?
