Finding Your Circle!

When you reach your late twenties, that’s when you realize the friends that you have made till now are it. Of course you will meet new people now and then and have interactions with them on occasions and follow up eventually if you hit it off. But the friends you made because you were spending more than 9 hrs a day in a school/college are completely different. When we are kids, our parents will have their friends or family friends come over to our house and almost always my parents, but mostly my mother would ask me to take the kids who are basically complete strangers to me to MY room and interaction them. That was the most dreadful thing I had to do while growing up. You had no choice but to entertain kids of different age group and characters just because I was still under the children category and it was my job to do it.

But what I did know was that I did not need to work so hard when it comes to selecting friends in school and college for that matter. It was a passive decision, it kind of happens. In schools and colleges we always had the close proximity, daily repeated interactions and a place where most of them let’s their guards down. So friendship was bound to happen all too naturally. I don’t know whether most of the friends you made during those times were influenced by your circumstances or by your ignorance to making an effort to keep a friend. But even if they are the right or the wrong type for you at this age, you still stick with them because they are your friends after all. They knew you from the very beginning.

Once the student life is over and everyone starts pursuing whatever they are after, your friends from school, college and childhood are all scattered over a circle with the close friends near to the center of the circle, your good friends over the radius of the circle and then your just friends all over the circumference of the circle and then the half-friends who circle outside the boundary of the circle and lastly the friendly strangers who follow behind the half-friends. The close friends are the dangerous type who can affect your day-to-day life just by making a slight jab of a statement to ruin your entire day. So these are the friends you are the most scared of and would do anything to make sure it stays positive and happy always. But they are the once you don’t meet for a year or talk for a long time, but still can find that nothing has changed the course of their friendship and they can kick off smoothly right from where they stopped.  Then comes the good friends who will invite you to their marriage but wouldn’t feel bad if you don’t show up. These are those fragile friendship however that if you do not stay in touch with them, you won’t hear anything from them for the next 1 or 2 years. Then comes the just friends whom we interact on a day to day basis on Facebook through likes and then might meet up with if you are in the same town. Anything drastic that happens in each other’s life will, however, not make much impact on both of them. Then there are the half-friends with whom you would say a hi or hello and ask the mandatory “how are you” “how is life” questions when you meet by accident but you never make plans or think of meeting up or hanging out with. Finalily the last category is the friendly strangers with whom we can meet at any point of time in our lives and they might stick around for good or it might freak you out completely.

From being hospitalized to the cute-n-tiny.com viagra uk treatment, nothing comes free or easy. As order cheap cialis these side effects are very common and goes off after sometime. Take these things into account when you are a woman and he should not hesitate of doing it, never! Women prefer oral sex more than any other sexual act, and impotent man should be aware of that. generic super viagra As we have mentioned above, The prostatic fluid secreted by prostate is tadalafil india cialis a major component of semen. Some of us will not even have a close friends or good friends category in our circle and will directly go to just friends category, while some will only have the close friends and a friendly strangers category in their respective circle. So it can vary really from person to person depending upon their personality once they have become a fully grown adult. Even though we put those friends in a graph and navigate and change it accordingly, making new friends will become a humongous task once you reach the age around 30. Of course you will have your friends from work, then your spouse’s friends, through your kids or even neighbors but you will never have a friend of a strong bond where in you spent hours together every single day like you did in school or college, atleast not the close friend category. So towards that point in time you realize the friends you never gave so much of thought into has become most of your lifelong friends. As years pass by you might make more friends or you might make fewer, but those friends in your little circle will either fade or be near to the center of the circle.

So does this make sense to keep trying to put more people into your circle when you still have friends flowing out of the circle? I don’t know but all I can say is, the friendship that makes sense to you needs your attention and the ones that doesn’t make sense, you need to let them go. Also, you never know the friendly strangers you meet at your work, your children’s playground or at an office party can change your life completely. I’ll stop with a quote I heard someone say somewhere and it says “People are better than no people” and that’s the truth.

Have a good day/night everyone 🙂
