Friendship is a relationship that requires if not much, a little bit of sacrifices.
However, not all of those sacrifices that you'd make will be appreciated, or at least remembered. Yes, this could happen to you, to any of us. Especially, when a friendship doesn't come with a little bit of sincerity alongside. It's hard to be friends with someone who do not care about you, but it is harder not to have any friends at all. Although the jokes sometimes harsh and could hurt to extend that could make you cry, you swallow your tears and smile the cruelty, terrified to the idea that you might stop talking altogether if you were to let the concern out.
Changes
Life can ever escape changes. This dynamic nature element of life is often out of our control. Big changes in our life could effect and threatens a beautiful friendship. This means it involves all kinds of changes including in our careers and love life. Guess as human, we just had to learn and understand that this life is nothing static and it is part of reality.
Fix it! Well, you can never change reality in the first place, but definitely there are alternatives that could help to lessen the impact. Initiative is important. A 5 minutes call in a week wouldn't graze a cut to your career life or love life.
Exceeding the Limits
Yes, even the closest friends had limits and borders between them. Thus you have to realized that beforehand and do that to keep your friendship healthy. Going overboard in a relationship is highly risky. You just have to respect one another and be more optimistic. This rules even applies to lovers, what more between friends.
Fix it! Let's just face it. All of us want respects and give respects in return. If you can't comprehend what privacy is about then, you're up to a long road to getting along with people.
Frustration and Disappointment
Being frustrated and disappointed by your friends can be a huge emotional disturbance. Maybe you can ask yourself just how many times in your life when you required help in time of grave need and then your friends turn their backs on you. Perhaps only a few that comes to aid.
Fix it! Talk to them and be open about many things and have them talk back to you. Expressing how one another feels about many things facilitate the building of a healthy friendship. But don't get down when you find no help when you needed one, perhaps you haven't help other enough? Life is a circle. Think about your actions, like some saying before- "what you give you get back".
Misunderstandings
This is common; very common, not only in friendship but human relation in general. Every individual in this world has their own principles in life. These individual principles also play a vital role in some certain friendship. Oftentimes we heard of two friends having different opinion on certain matters. This subject will lead us back to the matters concerning respect. Respecting a person includes respecting their opinions and feelings.
Fix it! When there are any discrepancies in opinions between friends, it is best that you take time in evaluating the pros and cons of what your friends had proposed. This doesn't mean of you letting go of your principles but rather to understand why they're thinking the way they do. You don't have to follow them but understand and give feedback of why you agree or not agree with them. Respect is important. If you can't accept their thoughts, at least respect them.
Treachery
This might be the ultimate relationship killer. Treason and betrayal in a friendship is something categorized as unforgivable acts. Back-stabbing, back-biting, jealousy and stealing your own best friend's boyfriend are the typical kind of treason and betrayal acts you can find among young people these days. Trust is apparently a necessity in a friendship.
Fix it! Feeling and thinking that your friend or friends are trying to frame or betray you, then it's time for you to step back. Friends are easy to find, but friends that stays loyal to you? Now that takes time.
Envy
Things are going to get dirty when two friends fell in love with the same guy. Bad news. Jealousy can "kill" a friendship no matter how close you can be. Like a saying that reads "Friendship is love without wings". However, this subject doe not confine to the act of love but possession, luck or even ability and capability of someone. It is, after all hard to read a person's heart and mind. You can never guess what their thinking.
Fix it! Just be careful. Be very careful with what you are dealing with and try to avoid things and people (especially) that could destroy your friendship, unless you treasure it more than your current friends, then that could put you in a different another circumstances. Nevertheless, friends who can accept; understand and can be happy for your fortune indeed the best of friends.
