Ilan ang masasabi nyong TRUE FRIENDS nyo?

[nocturnalnerd]

5 at least kasam si bf, but I'm kind of introverted, I prefer to be alone as long as I could. But my friends understand, I seldom connect with them and they just got used to it, kapag naman nagbobonding kami, close sa close naman kami.

I think it's normal that as we age, our circle of real friends become smaller.  It doesn't mean you're a bad person. We just grow apart.  Priorities change.  Interests change. Status in life change.  I'd rather be with a friend that will be there for my times of sorrow than one that is only there for the good times.

^I agree with you sis. People change as we age. Nag iiba priorities, nag iiba ng outlook sa buhay kaya nawawalan din ng friends.

Yung high school friends ko, mid college palang nawalan na ko ng contact with them. Malaki circle of friends ko nun, but since most of them naiwan sa ust and hindi naman walking distance ang up, hindi ako nakakapunta sa mga gatherings. Isama pa na nagworking student ako, hirap magbalance ng time sa school at work. Talagang yung orgmates/batchmates ang naging friends ko.

Among my college friends naman, same, may malaki ring circle kasi yung block namin are close. Kaso after graduation, ang hirap na rin lumabas as a group since magkakaiba ng work sked at locations.

Siguro 4 or 5 college friends ang talagang maituturing kong friends beyond social media. Yung tipong matatawagan ko ng dis oras ng gabi dahil may problema ako. Or kahit ilang buwan kami di magkita kasi may mga pamilya na kami pare pareho, close pa rin kami.

Friendly din ako sa officemates ko ngayon, but I learned na minsan mahirap makipagkaibigan sa work because of politics. Nabackstab na kasi ako before sa dating work ko kaya I have trust issues sa office friends. But my officemates now are nice. I hope for keeps din sila.

Just like the previous posts, nagkaron na rin ng mga iba ibang priorities kasi mga friends ko dati.  I have many acquiantances, friends (mga kasama sa lakaran), pero yong talagang all out true friends, ngayon, I just consider hubby as my true friend, and my sister.

Napansin ko as I age mas kumakaunti yung kino-consider ko na kaibigan. Yes, I have lots of acquaintances because of my job pero kapag usaping totoong kaibigan I can only think of 2 right now.  Yung alam kong andyan sila no matter what.

Disclaimer: Naalala ko lang yung linya sa kanta ng Carpenters:  "If all my friends have forgotten half their promises they're not unkind...Just hard to find". Naisip ko they are just hard to find kasi preoccupied na din siguro sila ng mga priorities and responsibilities sa buhay but it doesn't mean na masamang tao sila o nakalimot na.  Ako kasi guilty din ako na madalas hindi na din nakakapangumusta dahil nga sa dami din ng kailangang kong pagbuhusan ng pansin muna.  And one last thing, hindi na din ako masyado nagse-share ng mga personal struggles ko.

Thank you for above disclaimer. I like it a lot. I feel the same way.

I grew up attending a Christian church kaya madami dami pa naman akong friends na talagang tested na all these years. Sila yung malalapitan through thick and thin kaya I'm very thankful kay God for blessing me with such quality and nurturing friendship.

Meron din akong best friend na since elementary until now, strong pa din yung bond

YES to this!  Add ko lang since my kids are all grown-up, I consider them as my friends too!

[missyuko]

same here sis, as I age kumokonti na ang circle of friends ko, either sa different career plans namin at priorities kaya wala ng time, sa recent work ko 2 siguro then 5 naman sa HS barkada ko pero 3 years ko na sila hindi nakaka usap dahil nag hiatus ako sa main social media accounts ko dahil na depressed ako at naging busy sa work. pero ngayun nakaka pag communicate pa din kami via GC yun nga lang, I'm having some trouble gettin' into must of their topics kase 3 years akong nag disappear at drawing sa mga gala nila. hindi ko naman masabi mga pinag daanan ko nun, pero I guess it takes time para maka pag adjust lahat

[megansmomma]

napa count ako haha so I am proud to have less than 10 REALEST TRUEST FRIENDS FOR LIFE yung mga highschool and college friends ko kasi, yung everyday mo kasama... nagbago na sila.. but I am hella proud of the circle that I am in.. i can act naturally, they don't care how weird I can get.. or if how deep s*** my situation is.. I am beyond blessed of having them.. too bad, they will never see this
