~Abusive Friendships
I remembered that i blogged a long time ago that friends some time become tissue papers. I guess i still stand by my idea.
I have always wondered why some people still stick by their friends even though they know that they are not good company or they are not good people. Basically, it is just an abusive friendship.
Like an abusive relationship, there is a victim and an attacker. Simply put it this way. A friend speaks ill of another friend's friend in front of him or her. That is verbal abuse of the frienship because friends respect their friend's friend. A friend stares at another friend's friend from head to toe. That is bullying usually similar to a start of a fight for the gangsters. This is an abuse of the frienship because friends accept their friend's friend.
Mind you if you commit the above sins, you are a friend of your friend too. The same can happen to you if you figure it out.
Sometimes, we get caught between friends. In the middle of the situations as mentioned above, getting caught in the middle, risk it or fake it?
I cannot give a perfect solution because after listening to so many cases in my four years of an all girls environment, such issues are plenty. It basically boils downs to how much you treasure a friendship. By allowing the attacker to continue her rampage, you abuse the victim's frienship. Its an abuse of friendships because friends stand by their friends in times of crisis.
I am glad that i have friends who respect and accept my other friends and to stand by me in times of crisis and i reciprocate that too.
Will you then?
