Friendships? Which ones are meaningful?

Maybe this is a unique idea of mine, but I would like to share my feelings here as a person who has or is dealing with depression. I agree that making friends and reaching out to them etc. to cope with your loneliness is a problem that is frequently spoken about. But for me, it's got to be a true friend you know you can trust. What I find effective in making me feel better for myself is simply distancing myself from poor friends or blocking myself. There are mates that you know are not right for you and ultimately dragging you down. Talking to them would not make you feel better or help you develop as a person. Why waste your time, then? It's finding the balance between finding and not isolating yourself for the right people to talk to.

It's tough to say. Well, a lot of people are friendly as long as it maintains some work or family thing. However, when those things breakdown, they stop contact with you.

First you have to know how to differentiate between friends and friends, friendships are made anywhere, and as soon as they have the opportunity they turn their backs on you, they can even say what you have confided to them by mistake. Those are the people who share with you at a party, on walks and so on. But, true friends are those who learn from you, value you and respect you, who just by looking at you know whether to shut up or speak. You would never be disappointed. I always recommend not talking to just anyone, only to that person (who does exist) whom you can trust with true friends.

The thing is that at one point you circle of friends goes through filtering, people will leave your life and others will stay, this will give you the chance to spend time with yourself to grow, to focus on your self development, to see what actually needs to be healed. That is why you did choose to stop talking or meeting with some friends, it wasn t a win win situation anymore for you, because you want to grow, to change yourself so you become the best version that you can be. Surrender to those choices because they will lead you to the treasure within. ^_^

its no new thing that some friends stay with you when u have money or when u have something to give them for free
But then there are meaningful friends that are willing to stay with you even when u are poor. Perhaps, those friends help you get away from problems and dilemma
