Friendly Obsession?



So many people are attached to friends. Whether it be by text messaging, phone, internet or in person, people nowadays can't live without friends. It's perfectly healthy to have friends, but is it just as healthy to smother yourself inbetween these same friends? How much is too much communication? Does everyone need to know every aspect of your life on facebook? Does your friend really need to know how you just caught a deal over at Save-A-Lot? Really son, how much is too much?

I don't know the answer to this question but I'm going to tell you some habits that annoy me:


- Please don't call before 12 in the afternoon PERIOD. A text will suffice but don't call me that early unless your liver is falling out your sides.

- Unless we have a bad connection or emergency, don't call me more than twice day. By the third call, I'm not going to have much to say.. there won't be much for me to tell you about my day because I will have spent most of it talking to you. And because I'm not a phone person please don't call me EVERYDAY.

- Keep your sob stories to a minimum. If I never hear anything good from you, what's the point of talking? Misery loves company and I'm all out of vacancies.

- This is one that gets me. I understand that friends need advice, but If you're never going to take my advice and keep asking me for advice for the same situation, it's pointless. That shows me that you just want somebody to be with you in your time of need but not actually do anything about what you've mentioned. And then call me a great friend. Go figure.


- I had friend who got upset because I "ruined" her status by asking her a question on a completely different subject on facebook instead of writing on her wall. .... Please don't involve me in this facebook debacle. Don't ask me why I didn't "like" your status, why my mother "poked" you or why don't I respond to any of your statuses. It's Tedious !



Sometimes folk just need to be alone sometimes. Not having any YOU time can seriously cramp your style by slowly becoming this dependant blob. If you always have to tell somebody something and people always have access to your business, what have you become? Are you a human being or a walking journal with GPS tracking? When a storm comes into one's life and these so-called "friends" fade away,some folk won't know how to act or live. Learn how to do things on your own ! Enjoy a day by yourself. Bury your phone in you purse or back pocket and forget about it for a while. Live a little. And most of all, you can't make new friends if your always smothered underneath the old ones !
