You guys know that I've always lived by the theory that it's better to have one or two really good friends than 100 friends that are just okay. I actually feel sorry for the people that don't have any close friends, 100 friends doesn't mean a thing. Time and time again my theory is proven correct. It doesn't make sense to change a good thing. Well, that brings me to human nature.
Human nature is a strange. I'm sure everyone has been disappointed in someone or something that someone has done right? Well that's just the thing, I find myself disappointed all the time. This is surprising because by default I'm a pretty pessimistic person; however, I think I can attribute my disappointment to certain expectations that I set forth for certain people. Then, when they fail to meet my expectations I get upset. Given this information, I think the ideal situation is to not have expectations for anyone. That way no one gets upset right? The moment you let your guard down and get comfortable with someone is "the danger zone". Why? Because that's when expectations naturally develop. You assume that they're going to be the person you expect them to be and when they deviate from your expectation you have the tendency to get upset. This holds true for pretty much everyone (except for those friends that are really stable and never fluctuate: thank goodness for you guys or else I would have been driven to insanity by now [warning: these are extremely hard to find and it doesn't help that I took most of them; get your own]). So what's my point? Never let your guard down, don't get too comfortable, don't have any expectations, and avoid people that fluctuate at all costs (remember junior year? bad. bipolar people = red flag). Then if by chance you find a really good friend, cling on to that like a fat kid and cake (Joanna and tiramisu), if not then just let it go, you can allocate your time more efficiently.
