Through the years I’ve come to witness or be involved
in friendships between women. I'd call this , in a very simple way ,
something like “friend or enemy ” / be “nice or too nice” with the other.
For a start, I’ve had a looot of " best friends forever" . Like forever and and ever, but it was
just untill a short period of time , eventually. They were all different
personalities. That’s exactly why I kept seeing only some , very few, all that
the years have past. Not just because
we’ve had trouble getting along, but because of situations that grew us apart , due to our opinions and decisions . After all , female friendship
is such a complex thing to pull together. I don’t even know if it’s for real.
It all seems to be only for the times when the two friends aprove of each
other’s actions and decisions. Aprove, even though , only in words , but not in
believe. We, women , seem to join each other in company , in order to defend
our situations, to look for aproval, and any other way of things to evolve, is
the wrong way. The BFF is no such any more. Maybe this is not really the best
way to be as a friend. Maybe a friend means to very delicately explain your own
opionion and judgement, without hurting or disconsidering the view of the
other. After all one knows herself what’s best . Yes, sometimes it’s not
obvious , but as the things go on , she will find the decision to make. If it
is the wrong one… who knows?.. But it should be made on her own. As if not to
immitate another and listen to the dot , what the other advises. This is as if somebody else rather than
ourselves knows what is best for us. We
know, and only we do. It is just hidden somewhere , deep in our minds and
souls. Just need a bit of confidence and trust in ourselves and it will all
come together.
So, sometimes, too nice will hurt . As in trying to hard to
help that friend. I’ve heard that women don’t ask for solutions, when talking,
they just want to talk and to be listened to, paid attention to. Because they (
we) might know from the start what we want, maybe sometimes it is to hard to go
and get it. These said, maybe it’s better to respect the other and speak out
only when asked . And if asked, say it delicately.
All this would be worth , if the friend is one that is dear to us and really deserves this attention
and consideration. But if the reaction
is not the one expected and the friend becomes just some randome aquaintance ,
then she is not worth the friendship. The good thing that it became obvious ,
the way the other person is for real. At least you khow now. Just be nice to
others and too nice only to yourself
and it will all come together.
After all , this is the way I think, either this or
that. Really… no in between. Because
“in between” tends to lean towards “that” . Meaning “no” – “no, I don’t care
anymore”.
