Do you Expect anything from your "Friends" ????

I expect my friends to at least make an effort to support me when I need them. I also expect them to be honest with me. I think honesty is the key to any friendship. Friends should be people who have a general interest in your well being and want to help you whenever they can. I hold myself to these standards and expect the same from my close friends. I don't think that expectations ruin a relationship. I think this is also a double standard. If you expect nothing from a friend and they expect everything from you, it is not a true friendship. Friends are meant to share each other's joy and sorrows and help each other throught the journey of life.

Yes. I have expectations, but it does no good. I have 1-2 good friends who I trust and love dearly and a fair weather friend who puts on a front as if we are the best of friends, when I know full well she isn't one. She treats me like a second class citizen and makes it seem like I am not worth much 2 her. I expect more from her because she claims to be my "best friend", but doesn't really act like it. I am getting tired of her making excuses and setting me aside like dirt. I am getting to the point of not expecting anything, but heartache from her.

Its almost impossible to have a relationship without any expectations. As long as the expectations are realistic a relationship doesn't get affected much.

The only things I expect from my true friends is the same I expect from anyone else in my life..Honesty and respect...

do i have to expect something from my friend? if there is something that i need from my friends perhaps i have to expect something. expectation can led to demanding attitude which can be a cause of ending the relationship of a friendship. better not to expect something unless it was been talked or planned only that's the time to expect. indeed expectation is one of a root of ending such friendship. just do the usual thing that you both do as friends and make change for good and it will last.

i used to expect a lot from them.. i consider myself as a good friend cause im always there for my friends.. and i expected the same from them... to the point that blame them for my sadness cause they cant be around when i need them... i realized that u cant blame or depend ur happiness to other people.. u will just get disappointed, cause they got their own lives too....

well i dont think you should EXPECT anything from your friends, friends should only be considered friends cuz they do things for you that you WOULDNT expect.. like just be there when u need them, give their best advice, support you in times of need, etc... but if you feel you have a friend that just uses you and doenst contribute anything towards being a friend, then, well... they arent really a friend to begin with.. just my two cents, take care..

well i think when someone makes friends he doesn't look for any kind of favour, then why later?? i don't expect anything frm my fiends , so everything they do is a bonus and surprize...cheers to all ma frndz !!!

according to me when it comes about friend then the word EXPECTATION gets disappers...but still these things only sounds good this is not practical when our friends are not able to fulfill our expectation then either we should talk to them or change ourself accordingly...its not easy to match the tuning with every person,,,and ofcourse it hurts when our friend does nt meet our expectatons......
