Unsociability vs. Friendship

Humans are a sociable species. 
That is 100% true---- in the Stone Age! At a time when humans needed to form groups in order to defend themselves from predators and to provide food. But at this cyber age, human relationships have been altered in many ways. Being sociable is now related to activity on facebook and other "social" networks.
Friendship is overrated in my opinion, true friends are hard -if not impossible- to find; that if friends are found not made. The real friend, the true friend is the unselfish person that cares about his friend. The way to identify one's friend is to watch their behavior at times of his need and sadness, and to see if they accept his weird behavior and humiliating habits.
That's way they say in arabic:قل لي من تعاشر اقول لك من انت
Well that's exactly true, if our friends aren't like us and don't resemble us in personality, they won't understand our behavior = no more friendship between different people.

So maybe..just maybe we are social creatures after all..I think that depends on rather we have found real  friends/people who resemble us. It might be nice to have someone you really care about and that really cares about you too.. Your actions might become more important. But I'm still convinced that the best friend you can ever have and that won't ever hurt you because of his deep knowledge to your inner thoughts is YOU!

This post was inspired by a group of friends I met today :) I hope their friendship is as clean as it looks.

Friendship between opposite sex?

Do you believe in friendship between opposite sex? Is it possible for a girl to speak to a guy for the only reason of pure friendship and nothing else? Or will one of them eventually fall in love with the other??...


I don't know if I believe in close friendship, I don't think it's possible to tell your secrets and open your heart to someone from the opposite sex... Guys don't show real interest in a girl except if they like her and think of her as a potential girlfriend, why else would a guy put up with the craziness of us ladies and our nervous breakdowns over a word we heard or a situation we had??

And from other side, a girl who found a guy that listens to her problems and helps her and trusts her and tells her his secrets is certain to fall in love with him after a while! So I think that simple friendship is possible and most likely to happen because we humans are sociable species and need the company of others despite their gender. But close extreme friendship that involves discussing problems and spending lots of time chatting alone in private is impossible, or ends up in a love relationship at the end, or a broken heart to one of them...



I'm thinking about this cause I have a new guy friend and today we spent more than 4 hours speaking and I opened my heart to him, which is a thing I haven't done since 2 years ago when I was heartbroken by a "guy friend", and I'm really scared that I hurt or get hurt this time..But it's so nice to have someone who understands you, and girl friends are good, but not as great as guy friends because you know us girls ;) there's always this sort of jealousy between girls and selfishness.. So nchalla 5er :)
