At age 25, I can truly say that I've had my fair share of bad friends. I've had psycho friends, sensitive friends, liars, insecure messes and total f*cking nut cases. I say that to say, now a days I have my core group of REAL friends, who are stable, loving, supportive and genuine. I am grateful for them, they've been around and will be around. I say all that to say this: People with NO friends worry me.
When I look back, every single horrible friendship began with one thing in common: me befriending someone with NO other friends. As I look back, I think that right there should have been a red flag. If you dont know how to keep a friend, most likely you dont know how to be a friend. And I happen to be one who truly values myself as a friend and my friends.
So today, I really thought about my belief in friendships and how that pertains to me in RELATIONSHIPS. I am someone who hasnt been in one in a LOOOOONG time. So if I havent been a girlfriend, is it because I dont know how to be a girlfriend? According to my previous statement on friendship, then YES.
Of course I dont want to believe that. I know my not applying the friendship rule to the relationship rule is a double standard, but it makes me sleep better at night. Im single because I havent met him. And thats the story Im sticking to.
