You know what. I respect friendship a lot. I love my friends and spend time with them. But i don't like one thing. Speaking bad things about you at your back. Its been a difficult journey with respect to my friends. Some were really good and some were the worst to have. But that's life. Its like our 10 fingers. All are not same. It have really close friends with whom I can share anything and rest my shoulders on them. They have helped me a lot in need and I am so happy to have them in my life. My friends vary from profession, business and personal life. My parents are my best friends. No doubt they face my anger first. Please share your thoughts on same.

I'm sure that the majority of us have shown our anger to our friends. Especially when we have good sincere friends we are more likely to open up to them. Stick close to those friends that you can count on. It is difficult making decisions about friends especially when we want to have good friendships.

I hate friends who speaking about me at my back. That's not polite and that's not respect me as his friend. Sometimes we have to watch out our back for some one that we think he is our friend. They will be nice in front of us but they will say different thing about us at our back. Be careful for friend like this

The word 'friend' has been used inappropriately. It is sad to directly call someone a friend when we don't know who they really are. A friend is someone who accepts who you are and there for you through good and bad times. Yes, I have been angry to my friends because I am a true friend. I don't like and I don't hide.

I did this kind of showing my emotions and straight forward to burst out my opinion. The friendship will be tested for showing the real you. It is not good to sugar-coated your statement to them. But then, friend are real friends no matter what happens.

Hi, my thought on this is, friends are sure necessary in our life...but, if they backstab us or talk behind our back, then are they really worth of our friendship? Lately, some of my friends behaved this way, so now, i hardly talk with them... they don't even feel shame in lying to us face to face.. :(

I have, but I never vented it on my friends. I have never gotten violent, screamed or yelled, but I have ranted about the people who have hurt me to my friends.

Yes, I have, but they didn't like it very much ! Ha ha ! Well, I try to control my anger as best I can always. It does need determination of course, but anger does not benefit any one, neither for oneself or for the recipients.

Yes I always shown my anger before my friend. I dont like those persons who speak bad things behind us. If I feel bad about anyone I speak on their mouth not behind them. You are 10 fingers are not same.

Ouch! That would hurt real bad if the people whom you consider as friends would talk crap about you behind your back. Are you sure they're really worthy to be called friends? I know my good friends wouldn't do that to me and I will ever do that to them. If good friends have problem with one's other, they talk about it and fix it, they don't make it worse and betray you. With my friends, I can show my real feelings or emotions and I know they understand me. I can be mad, sad, and be fine with them and they are fine with it as well. They also know that I will be there with them whenever they need my support. I hope you also get to fix whatever it is thats going on between you and your "friends". I'm sure that if they can't be true to you, there will always be other people who will be very willing to be your friend and know and accept the real you.
