People tend to be able to relate when someone rich and
famous says, “It’s lonely at the top.” Yet, when someone who seems sociable
claims that they don’t have many friends, no one really believes them. The fact
is that most people will be a friend to you… when it’s fun, when it suits them
most; but what happens when things aren’t that pleasant. Are they going to
stick around for you?
I guess the even more disappointing truth is that all the
time you spend, trying to build a ‘support network’ may end up a big flop, because
some of these people never intended to be a part of it to begin with. For that
reason, I am starting to believe that you can never go wrong when you stick
with a few good friends as opposed to having a friend for this activity, a
group for that activity, and the list goes one. Have a few good friends you can
really have conversations with, and if you need to pursue and activity you
really like, do it alone… with strangers.
The whole point here is to never start counting on people
to always do something with you. At some point, we are bound to be
disappointed. Even I can’t count on me, and if I don’t become a permanent
fixture to anyone, I won’t have to disappoint them eventually
