Needy Folks, Need To Go

Friendship |ˈfrendˌ sh ip|nounthe emotions or conduct of friends; the state of being friends.• a relationship between friends : she formed close friendships with women.• a state of mutual trust and support between allied nations.ORIGIN Old English frēondscipe (see friend, -ship ). Today, people misuse the word friendship all the time. They think that in order to be friends one must text all the time or call everyday or skype once a week. They think that you ALWAYS have to be in touch. You ALWAYS need to know what your friend is doing. That's all a lie. If two people are really friends, they don't constantly need to be conversing. How do you know if you're friends with somebody and not just an acquaintance? Well, with friendship there can be comfortable silence. If both of you do not feel you have to constantly talk, you have a friendship. If your conversations are awkward, and you're trying way too hard to think of something to say, it's not a friendship. If you're forcing yourself to talk to somebody, just stop it. Also, in some friendships two friends can go months or years without talking. When they finally talk, and it's like nothing's changed. That, folks, is friendship. Another thing people do with their so called friends is cling. Don't do it. Even friends need some space. If you're always calling or texting a person and they're not texting you back, they're trying to tell you something. Give them space. They probably still want to be your friend, but you're just over crowding them. Don't waste your time calling or texting somebody who doesn't want to talk to you 24/7. Honstly, who wants to talk to anybody 24/7? Also, don't be the "friend" who needs to know where all of their friends are all the time. You're not anybody's mother yet. Instead of obsessing about somebody else's life, go live your own. What I'm trying to say is there's a limit to everything, including friendship. I mean if both of you are totally fine with 24/7 texting or calling, then knock yourselves out. However, there are some people, like me, who detest constantly communicating with somebody they see frequently. I don't want to sound rude, but I'm not interested in talking to ANYBODY all day, everyday. I need space and time to think by myself. That doesn't mean I'm an introvert and hate socializing. No, I love hanging out with people, especially my friends. It's just that I don't feel the need to cozy up and cling on  tightly to anybody. I'm just not the kind of person that needs to talk to somebody else ALL THE TIME. If you don't like spending time by yourself, then why would anybody else enjoy spending time with you? It may seem harsh, but don't over do it on the friendship. You might be thinking, where did this come from? Well, I've been noticing some over-friendly friends on Facebook. I don't mean to sound rude, but if you just spent the whole day with somebody, you don't need to write "OMG, i miss you already. I can't wait till we hang out tomorrow. Would you like to skype right now? <3 xoxoxoxoxo" on their wall.  That is not necessary. I get it if you haven't seen a friend for a while, you would like to tell him or her that you miss them, but if you see the same person all day everyday, don't you get tired of them? Maybe, I'm the weird one. I don't appreciate clingy people, and that is that.
