I completely agree with you, Manda. Unfortunately, a lot of people do not seem to believe in these lines. People are all about themselves and what they want, and they do not pay attention to how their actions/behaviours affect people around them. If they give the slightest thought about things, a lot of awkwardness can be avoided. :/

Sometimes I wonder if people even know what it means to be friends. I think people just enjoy the drama because they don’t really have much else to do…like my mom… D:

Thankfully, I’ve got a small handful of friends whom I can trust and depend on. It’s so rare to find people who don’t gossip about you behind your back.

I think it’s rotten when a friend makes you choose between two people. If that person really is a friend, then s/he wouldn’t make you choose. S/he’d respect your decision, even if s/he isn’t happy with the outcome. No one should want to be that friend – the one that makes others decide based upon what s/he wants, you know?

Yes, I mean that. I had been friends with the best friend (male) for about 2-3 years, and the close friend (male) for 4 years, so not that great a difference. At the time, I saw no detrimental effect on my friendship with the close friend by getting together with the best friend. But, in hindsight, I realized the close friend also liked me, and was just making my life difficult by making me choose between him and my best friend. I still wish it didn’t have to be that way.

Do you mean that the best friend is the boy and you chose him over a different close friend? It depends on how long you’ve been friends with both and if choosing one or the other will have a detrimental effect on your friendship with the other. In my experience with this “rule” I had a close (girl) friend choose a hookup over me and she essentially threw our year-long friendship away for a guy she hooked up with for about two weeks.

You’d think they’d be common sense, but apparently not. :( However, about the first one: “You don’t choose a boy/girl over a best friend.” Does it still apply when you choose your best friend who is also the boy, over another close friend? I’ve thought that by virtue of being the best friend and the boy, it makes it okay.

Sometimes I think setting lower expectations for people keeps one from being too disappointed.
