This is My Territory
Being friends with many people is joyful and rewarding... and it fills up the feel-good account.
However in my 43 years of life I have learnt that with friendship, one should not be too familiar. Always have that little gap (of doubt, or personal space) to keep yourself in check. NEVER offer advise that is not sought. ALWAYS seek to understand, before you may be understood.
Wise words, from wise people of old.
I am lucky to have great wonderful friends, some of whom I probably trust with my life. I say probably because we have not been tested in such a way & given a choice, I'd rather not be tested like that, thank you very much.
Friends are not family or sibling who will love you no matter what. There is a limit to the closeness or high regard or the pedestal they place you on.
So, my general advice (to conclude) is: Know Your Place. High and mighty is not the way to go with friends. Seek the level of comfort & STAY THERE. Do not push the boundaries and never overstay your welcome. Whatever happens, always consider their actions came from a place of love and think well of everybody.
If that is not the way to live, then what is?
