What is it like to have friends?

I've been wondering that for a lot of time.

How does one person and another can get along so well that they call themselves friends? Should any of them have a supernatural ability to be likeable so that even other people are okay with them for what they are? What's the point of creating such a relationship?

I think I've had this kind of relationship in the past. But I'm not so sure since right now it's a distant memory from when I was 10 years old. Maybe it's easier for kids to get friends or to likeable?

When I feel down I got none to talk who isn't biased by living with me every single day. What if they are so used to me they don't like me for being who and what I am, but just because of being used to my presence?

I rarely talk about feelings. Not because I don't want, but because I don't think it would make any difference. What am I, if not a single grain of salt in a giant table for twelve in some fancy restaurant? The world and the universe is so big that how a dot of ash feels doesn't matter at all in the scale of bigger things.

I'm happy to have been part of this community for some time, I really do. But still, I feel alone. I got no friends, and I'm completely fine with that. But still, I always ask myself...

It was definintely easier for kids to get along as friends and to likable If they were toddle to about 5-6 years old. Once they get older and it is getting ugly. Many would friends just for companion and not for likable and care as friendship at all. Today, whew... many are friends as fakers and enjoying just for themselves to have a companions. The future is getting uglier and uglier. Less love and more hatred and more fakers. :(

Find the right friends are like needle in the hay. A good people are out there. ;)

So you are not alone. Don't be despair at all. :)

Friends are there for each other. Friends help each other. They share laughter, they share desperation. Sharing laughter doubles it, sharing desperation halves it.

A real friend is somebody you can rely on – especially in bad times. Having good friends can give the feeling of a safety net.

More often than not you'll find out that somebody whom you trusted wasn't there for you after all when you needed them the most. The real friends are the ones that stay with you in the worst situations. Many people only want to take and give nothing in return despite promising otherwise.

I've never found anyone. Sooner or later it happened. I've given up.

No real difference between child age, teenage and adulthood for me. A child might trust faster/easier – until (s)he finds out that very few people deserve trust and many people are hypocrites. If you can find somebody: Deep friendship is something you should want in life. A real plus. Being alone and stating: "I can do everything on my own and don't want to rely on anybody." is easier said than done.


Good luck!

Well. They come to your house to play soccer, trading cards, or go to the movies.

I pity nowadays children.
Smartphones are the worst.
And 'social networks' are anything but "social".
Poor things.

@KleinesSinchen
I do (partially) get what you mean.
People are are only as loyal as their options.
Kinda sad, sad but expected.

People seem much cooler in my imagination eitherhow.
So I'll stay there, until I meet someone that's as busted as I am:

*Which is good. There is too much stuff to do for me as of late. Tinkering, listening to music, researching stuff etc.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
