How are your friendships now as an adult as opposed to when you were kids?

I see a huge difference. When I was young in my toddler years~~lol, I think friendship was more viewed like a sort of possesion. And the endless fights on who is the bestfriend of who, and if you are angry with them, your friends have to do the same.~~lol In my teens, I think friendship was more about popularity. Who has the more friends is more known. I must admit I tried to have so many friends. But I finally realized the key is not in the numbers, but on whom you can count on and who consider you a true friend. Now as an adult, as you said too, I'm more cautious. I make friends easily but I also try to protect my heart from the pains I might have. Because, friendship is sometimes used as a medium for abuses. And I have learned too as an adult, that friends are also humans. I mean you may put them on a pedestal sometimes. But they also have mistakes and flaws. And if you can accept it, help him/her to change for the better, or you can work tru it. The rewards of a true friendship is just around the corner. And this bond will last longer, if you can also add respect and loyalty. So now, friendship for me is more based on constructive values, not anymore on popularity and possesiveness. Have a great day Mamasan! Happy mother's day!(^^,)

Childhood friends has definitely changed throughout the years. Best friends can become good friends while good friends can become strangers or totally lost in the sea of change. It's sad yet it's understandable. Nobody stays the same. That's the beauty of life. It has so much to offer to those who grab all its opportunities and waits for no one. Should you choose to stay by the sidelines, you will get passed and you will lose touch with your friends.

I am still friends with alot of my childhood friends. I am more careful about making friends no days since I was badly hurt by someone who was supposed to be my best friend. I make most of my new friends at our Church.
