Has anyone ever thought you were going to be friends with somebody for ever and then your friendship ended? For most of us this has happened at least once or more than once in our lives. Sometimes friends come and go like seasons and we can't really do anything about it whether we want to or not it is just apart of the seasons of life.
How do we know if we truly have a friend worth keeping or not? Sometimes people can be blind and it is hard to tell somebody's true colors. Nothing is worse than finding out that the person you thought you were so close to is a liar.
Nobody likes a liar, but I guess it is hard to tell somebody is lying especially when you thought they were a trustworthy person. People lie for many different reasons such as wanting to be accepted by other people, wanting to get out of something, or just not wanting someone to find something secret out. In my opinion lying is just a waste of time because the truth always comes out in the end.
I recently had a friend who I found out was lying to me. I thought we were very close and had a honest friendship, but I guess I was to blind to see it. I thought by the time people become adults that the childish games would go away, but some people just don't grow up. Since we are both adults I am not going to cause an argument over it. I guess I am contemplating if I should give her a second chance or walk away? Only time will tell.
It's so true what you said about people coming and going like the seasons. I've had my share of that. But it really makes you appreciate the lasting friendships so much more! Your truly real friends!
ReplyDeleteI've had a friend that has lied to me and used me and was just a plain mean and cruel person to me, but I would let it slide and be a pushover because we were friends for so long. Then I just snapped, and I couldn't deal with her lying and hypocracy anymore, so now we do not talk. I don't know what to say, I gave my friend so many chances and she just didn't take them seriously. If she is one of your best friends and she wants the friendship to work, she needs to stop lying and be real with you and you can decide to give her the chance. If she was a true friend she'd take it and stop lying. That's what I would think at least. Good luck though, I hope everything works out with them.
