How many true friendships do you really have in your life? I'm not talking about the "friends" that hang out with you during just the good/happy times. I'm talking about meaningful friendships...friends that actually stick around and emotionally support you when you are going through some really bad times. I'm talking about friends that you can tell your deepest and darket secrets to without having the fear to them spilling the beans to others. I'm talking about the type of friend where neither he/she feels threaten by your accomplishments and vice versa....no social comparison games or the secret desire to "one up" each other so to speak.
Do you have any genuine friendships like that in your life? I, unfortunately, only have 1 true friend that I can completely and utterly trust. I have many social friends, but those are superificial friendships.
I find the older I get, the more difficult it is to find people who want to make the effort to go from just a social friend to an actual closer/meaningful friend.
