Why do I feel like FRIENDSHIP in this day and age has now taken another meaning? I see too many people befriending each other for different reasons these days, and gone are the days when you and your bff will go through thick and thin together.
I'm not talking about my bffs though, the very few of them that I have are awesome! I'm referring to newer or later friendships. They usually start with either friends of your family members or your other friends, or people you meet and befriend at work or through work or your business.
You started out "clicking" with them due to things that you share or value that are in common. What irks me is that these people seemed to be genuinely interested in you as a friend, when in actual fact it's ONLY because you benefit them in one way or another.
The moment you no longer benefit these group of people, suddenly those things you had in common disappeared. Along with the newly developed friendship.
I guess I am equally guilty of being that friendly opportunist too. Maintaining friendship over social media networks only. If fb does not tell me when your birthday is, I will not remember. Ehhh...wait. I know I'm definitely not an opportunist, so that leaves me being less of a friend. Still guilty though.
So, I am making that pledge now. Unfriend me please if I am of no good in any way to you. My presence as a friend or follower and adding on to your fb or IG numbers mean nothing coz you don't see my postings on your feed anyway.
You know how and where to reach me if you know me well enough. 😉
