I learned there are only 2 pillars under friendship: shared interests and trust.
- mapcars 4y agoOne person whom I consider wise said "Friends are people who support your limitations" if that helps
- arolihas 4y agoThat's a very cynical perspective that seems to encourage self isolation and an emotionally barren life. Not sure if that's wise.
- pure_simplicity 4y agoI think the OP meant that friend support you in overcoming your limitations. They support you where you are weak, not they perpetuate and grow your weaknesses.
- em-bee 4y agoor they accept your weaknesses and support you despite them.
- arolihas 4y agoI hope so, the way it's worded implies the opposite.
- dirtybirdnj 4y agoThis is how I chose to interpret it as well. If you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best is a cliche way of saying the opposite.
- forvelin 4y agoI think you can solely sustain a relationship with trust, lack of common interests can freeze it but does not necessarily extinguish it.
- swayvil 4y agoEmpirically speaking, I learned from a wise old friend that a party requires 4 things : Food, music, drugs and games. And people at parties are similar to friends. For what that's worth.
- zeroonetwothree 4y agoI would say rather that it requires any two of those. You’ll get very different types of parties depending on which two you pick.
