The problem lies in being friends with someone who totally relies on you for things without you being able to rely on them. While the idea of a perfect balance between the give-and-take relationship is not realistic, there is still a need for a semi-middle ground. Your friend should have your back and you have their back. That’s the unwritten rule.
Back to the word on the street. Well, I do have friends that I don’t speak daily to. I don’t think there is even any I talk every day with, although there are some I would probably chat with about 4 times a week. Yet if someone whom I haven’t spoken with in a month calls me and needs my help, I will do my best to help if I can. I won’t think about how he or she hasn’t spoken to me in a month before I decide to help
Back to me fullyI have a lot of friend groups. People I met from my local church, people from my university (who make up most of my close friends now), people from the Nairaland community, people from anime communities and so on. What does this imply? I know a lot of people and a lot of people know me. This can be a gift and a curse sometimes. You are in a talking stage and the girl is mentioning how you know a lot of girls, in a not-so-good way. What she fails to see is that you do know a lot of girls but also a lot of boys. This article is not about my non-existent love life, maybe one day I will write about love again.
