Who Do Call Friend ?

article image placeholderUploaded by @malekea
Everyone around me is their friend. All you have to do, just be kind to me and I will call you my friend, my school, my classmate, my soccer team. Because I was playing soccer when I was in the middle school, everyone in my team was considered my friend. This is on my side. I don't know what they think, but for me, I would consider them all my friend, my friend

But at this stage of my life, I have associates at this stage, because my life is very I'm a very private, introvert person. Besides what I do in life, it's my career or my church or my business. I don't care to let a lot of people in anymore. I just don't. To get to rebuild another close, close friends

Hello, Maurice. So the word friend, in my opinion and this is just my personal opinion, the word friend is used too loosely and too much. Nowadays, everybody calls everybody their friend. I remember when my son was younger, he'd be outside playing, and he would meet new people, and he would bring them up to the house, and my dad be like, who is this? Oh, this is my friend so and so

So it makes me feel uncomfortable to continue kind of sharing like a private information, things that we usually share when we trust people we share things for me became more cautious of sharing. And I don't really have many friends, but I have a people that I consider very good people. But I feel that word best friend, I do not really use that anymore. For some reason, it's been years ago that I don't really want to use that word. But I am good with people

And if you say oh no, I don't want to tell them this because they will get mad, then why do you think that I would help you with whatever issue you have with them? Because you are incapable of talking that with them. Then I do not see why I should be the one that you trust the most to tell me that. So that is something I hate. I hate it. And also you are right

Do they treat people good? Are they kind? Do they believe in God? That's how I find a friend or a friend finds me. The Bible says we should first show ourselves friend, and then we'll receive a friend. But for me, in my older age, it gets difficult because it's harder and harder to trust people. And I don't know, I guess I'm not seeking actively friends at this moment

So if I invest my emotions sometimes my time also, it can get into a deeper hurt for me, which I don't want to take it at this point in my life. But of course it keeps changing. And when they are in my inner circle, they're very close to me and it's difficult to take them out from that circle to the third part or the second part

If we're having deep, heartfelt conversations where trust is being built, then I would consider that person to be a friend. And I'm always open to making new friends and building new friendships. Even at 46, I think it's cool to continue to make friend and build relationships. But of course, like I said, that person has to meet a certain criteria for me to be called a friend. I'm not that starved for friends that I'm just looking to call everybody my friend
