Needless to say, people were not shy to air out their grievances and share all their controversial thoughts. So, without further ado, let's get into it:
1.
person - we'll never be. It takes more than a good time to be a friend. Forever cordial because it's no beef, but a lot of people i've encountered have nothing in common with the person i'm striving to be... i had to separate the cool ones from the real ones.

friendship is a two way street. u don't have to be the one always initiating things. stop giving too much if they can’t reciprocate ur energy. stop being desperate for friends— real friends don’t need to be asked https://t.co/X57pac138n

I shouldn't have to stay in contact constantly to still be considered a friend. If we vibe well, we're friends. Even if I don't talk to you for months or even years we’re still friends. If nothing bad came between us that stopped the communication, WE STIL FRIENDS https://t.co/cSrgH9tnQ0

It’s okay if someone doesn’t want to be your friend.

It doesn’t always mean something is wrong with you or something is wrong with them. Not everyone is meant to be your friend. https://t.co/f5DbVJVgmI

Sometimes you outgrow your friends and you should let them go instead of trying to keep them in your life..

Many of you don't have friends, you have acquaintances. These two are not the same

Normalize putting your FRIENDS in their place, & letting them know that their behavior & actions aren't ALWAYS RIGHT! Y'all be gassing y'all's friends up, just to let them drive right down the wrong path https://t.co/1iCju1FPBH

being cool wit someone who did your friend dirty or wrong cause they “did nothing to you personally”, is the fakest thing ever to me. if you come for my friends you coming for me too. like it’s no serious beef but it also ain’t buddy buddy either, we just ain’t cool https://t.co/cSrgH9tnQ0

I don't believe in the concept of 1 “Best” friend. I have different friends who are able to relate to different parts of my life. It's a working system, they're all equally important. https://t.co/ONdnVH1FpO

When a friend needs to talk, they are not “trauma dumping” and, if you don’t want to be there for your friend, they are probably an acquaintance. https://t.co/gNAaJvDUo6

You can be good friends but terrible roommates. Don't ruin a good friendship because you want to live together https://t.co/2eC9Se5Opz

it is perfectly fine to realize that you do not want the “low maintenance friendship”. it’s very endearing that you want to love people deeply and it’s very understandable that you want people to love you deeply and show how much they love you everyday. i recently learned this https://t.co/4O31xgASSO

And lastly:

You go into a relationship and forget all your friends, when y’all now break up you’ll be looking like a lost sheep. Your friends are as important as the person you’re dating, don’t let anyone suffer. Find the right balance https://t.co/IUtO5mS0y0
