Friend or Foe?

Human beings are social animals, and are born with the natural desire to interact with other human beings. There comes a time in our lives when we place 'friends' on the top of our priorities list. All this occurs during our schooling years. We get to a point in our lives when we become very conscious of how we perceived by the people around us, both physically and intellectually. This is when most people design themselves specifically to suit their society's expectations and society varies depending on the sort of people a person decides to surround him/herself with. Many manage to get into the circle of friends they admire, and become loyal to these friends and in return assume the same loyalty is being directed their way. However, this in most cases never becomes reality. Friends are the building blocks to life, so the selection process should be tailored to suit YOU, so as to draw the kind of people who will stay true to you. It doesn't end here, even the best of friends can end up being the enemy.

"9 ways to spot an enemy in your friend"
1. The friend tries to make you look bad when you're with a group of other friends.
2. The friend wonders why you are so fortunate.
3. The friend will start hanging out with your friends behind your back.
4. Will expect you to do things for them; things they would never do for you.
5. Want you to keep them happy during parties, and when you go off to make the best of the night, they get mad.
6. Always angry when you choose your boy/girlfriend over them, but its always an easy choice for them to make when they choose their boy/girlfriend.
7. They always have something negative to say about any decision you decide to make.
8. Always think a guy or girl who like you is a BAD choice for you, but if that same person was to like them, the person immediately overnight becomes a GOOD choice.
9. Never impressed by anything good that you accomplish in life.

If you spot at least 5 of these characteristics in a person, you must be very careful around them, and watch what you tell them. People do CHANGE, so give them the chance to.
