There is always someone in the world who is better or worse off than yourself, and I've never seen that - in either direction - as a barrier to becoming friends with somebody.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As you learn who you are, you can better surround yourself with friends who make you a better person, and that sometimes only happens when you disassemble old relationships.
I don't need to be better than anybody or worse than anybody to feel better about myself. I just need to stick on my own path and stay in the moment as best I can.
I never had any friends beyond a certain superficial level. We hate to admit weaknesses. We were raised to want to get ahead, to be good and clever and successful. You're just ashamed to open up.
To be a friend means that they are always there, for the good or the bad.
I think the only way you learn is to surround yourself with people that are better than you.
The way I become friends with somebody is a slow process. You can't just spill your guts and tell them everything about yourself and expect them to listen and understand you because you don't know them. It's the same thing with a relationship.
If you are insecure, then you can't be friends with anyone.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Contrary to general belief, I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first.
Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
