Would you rather eat alone Or eat with false friends Whose bellies you fill But give you no importance Would you rather eat alone in bed Or eat with false friends Who laugh at your expense And you feels warmth But it is all in your head Would you rather make home-made chocolate mix Or purchase a coffee tumbler And a pastry not worth a half a pence, or six And feed people who would Not throw you a crumb Let alone bake you sweet bread Filled with the finest rum Is it better to be alone to face your reality Or surround yourself with fake friends And tell yourself they are real Even thought you both know Your loneliness has clouded your clarity @anika987 post about keeping the peace with friends of different wavelengths inspired this
life is too short to be around people who make you unhappy. one needs to be their own best friend first.When you are happy and comfortable with yourself, one will never do or go behind any relationships which makes them unhappy.
The reality is, we are all alone. Those who have genuine family are lucky and wealthy - these people are Guardian Angels!
Sometimes we need people around us...no one is genuine in this world..the situation decides them but at the same time they are not bad people. I always want 1-3 friends around me being away from my parents...I am unsure that I am lucky to have these friends but at least I have few who can call or ask me if I need something
I guess this depends on how fortunate you are to be around people of the same wavelength. You are fortunate to have such friends (I’m sure your parents are relieved you are being taken care of, as you are taking care of your friends) But on flip side, following may apply to some people: There are relatives who insult my parents in Temple and are happy I went throughout bad incidents. However they show they have big heart by wanting to do me a favor by being my friend - they are cruel and toxic And I do not want to share a meal with such people!
