friendship

There comes a point with your existing friends that the friendship doesn't have any more value. This is coming from someone who has grown hypercritical on spending time with people where the give and take is imbalanced along. What I mean is, just because you know someone your whole life, doesn't mean you need to know them for the rest of your life.

I think you can out-grow friends and you can also have particular friend whose needs fit at the time and don't fit anymore. This comes off very selfish but from what I've been experiencing everyone is selfish and self-absorbed. So I've reached the conclusion for myself that I need to do the same thing. I can keep it transparent and let others know that hey, I used to do nice things for everyone and I used to be considerate for everyone.

I used to be very understanding and longer you've known me the easier it is to get me to do things for you or walk all over me. I'm not participating in those types of relationships any further. I'm going to be showing a much more transparent side and people aren't going to like it.
