Hello beautiful friends, welcome back to my space for this week. This is HSCP week 16. Talking about making good friends in school I believe that I have enjoyed it very well.
Recently someone sent me a dm asking me to be a friend. I was surprised because it has happened in a long while. We both belong to a WhatsApp group for a particular online study. I have not really noticed that person because we are more than 500 in that group and I can't go about knowing everyone in the group.
When his message came in I decided to ask him what he wants from me. He replied - I just want us to become friends. I smiled and replied back to him - I choose my friends and not the other way round. I know that he was not too happy with my response, but I don't really care because that is who I am. I am not going to compromise that because of anyone who I don't really know his intentions.
This is my conversations with him👇
WHAT I NEED IN A FRIEND BEFORE ACCEPTING THAT FRIENDSHIP
- Trust: I need a friend that I can trust. A friend who I can confide in and never doubt for any reason
- Unconditional love: I don't want friendship with benefits. Maybe a friend who is with me for what he or she will benefit. Love means given out. You can not love without given. So when I give out, I also expect to receive too.
- Understanding: I love an understanding friend. Someone who knows me well enough to accept my decision and also support me. I said that because if your friend don't understand you, he will be the first to stand against your decisions.
- A friend who can watch my back: I really do need someone who can defend me when I am not there. Someone who is always looking out for me and I can do the same for that person. Someone who only wants the best for, vise versa.
This is my own little contribution to the topic of week 16.
