Dear John,
I listened to a podcast recently and I started thinking about our friendship and how
good it is because a lot of people don't have a friendship as long as we do, and that's
why I value our friendship. I remember when we first met, I had entered school afraid
of not being accepted and at the end of the first class you guys came up to me and we
started talking about movies and series and that made me stop feeling afraid and
being excluded by other people and little by little we got to know each other and each
time we became more friends I realised that all people should have friends like you
guys because a lot of people suffer from having friends who make their mental state
worse.
There are a lot of people who just think that a toxic friendship is a normal thing
because often they just don't want to be alone or be judged for who they really are in
the podcast situation where one of the guests started telling a story where he had a
friend who always asked him for favours and sometimes money, until the friend asked
for a favour that was very hard to help, so the guest refused and after that they fought
and never spoke again, but you and I never had an argument that went beyond an
argument.
This also reminds me of the story of when we went to a beach on a school trip, I had
lost my phone and you guys were talking to the teacher for 1 hour until I found the
phone, and after that we were laughing all day as friends, but one thing that was also
talked about in this podcast was the fact that you comment on how some friendships
are based on how useful that person is to me and that causes many kinds of trauma in
the people that are used and I am impressive with how common the people have that
type of friendship, but I am happy to have a good friendship with you.
I think the toxic friendship is more common because people with your age with
problems to socialize with each other and accept every type of friends to have
someone to talk with, but we are a rare type of friendship because we can discuss
anything and don’t fight over the other’s opinion and what is your opinion about it?
Regards, your best
