Don’t be a shitty friend.
Believe it or not, you’ll need a couple of those in your life. Regardless of how anti social, anti life, anti interaction, anti everything else you’re anti about —you’ll want one, and you deserve to have them. Just don’t fuck it up. Reciprocate the same gestures. If one friend is there for you during a low point, be sure to be there whenever, if ever, they hit one as well.
Breezing in and out of someones life and using friendships for your own advantage with disregard to the other person is being a shitty friend. Don’t be that guy. That guy is an asshat. If you want great friends, be a great friend. And if you are a great friend who still has shitty friends, branch out and meet new people. Whoever said “i have enough friends” as if theres an actual quota on the amount of friendships one can acquire is a dipshit. You can have as many friends as you goddamn please.
As much as people are looking for “the one” or even a significant other, I bet you the same amount of people are looking for a really great friend. You know why? Because we all tend to be a shitty friend at some point in our lives and let down quite a few people in the process. Myself included. And because of that, a lot of people don’t have a solid group of really good friends. Shit, not even one good friend. I’m trying my best to be a better friend for not just my current circle of very adored friendships I have in my life, but for the future friendships i’ll gain later on.
Knowing I have people to go to the bar with, help me move, have late night taco runs, sit through an incredibly shitty band performance, and just shoot the shit with is a nice feeling to have. Not just because they’re there for me, but they want me there for them as well. To want and to be wanted at the same time. Besides, I can’t play drunk scrabble by myself. I end up cheating.
