I've always been the type of person that has told friends, if they're going through a rough time, I'm always there to talk to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Friends are the best to turn to when you're having a rough day.
I used to be good friends with my depression, saying oh I'm so depressed, or life is terrible.
I have a very small group of friends that I've had - the three of them - for the majority of my life.
Luckily I've had a lot of great friends that I've had for a long time.
I'll think I have a few wonderful friends and all of a sudden, ooh, here it comes. They do a lot of things. They talk about you to the press, to their friends, tell stories, and you know, it's disappointing.
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.
I have walked away from friendships when I've realized that someone smiles to someone's face and talks about them the minute they walk out of a room. I have no room in my life for that kind of negative energy anymore.
I'm a point of conversation for my friends.
I've got many close friends, but there's an awful lot about friendship that is not demonstrative in my case.
I've always had to force myself to make friends and speak to people. My parents were quiet, and it took me a while to get used to the fact that people talk about their feelings, their problems.
