“What don't you like about your best friend?”

Most of us had found our best friend in life. He or she had shown their loyalty throughout the years of being together. The friendship had been tested and remained confidant in our life. There are so many adjectives that can be used to describe them. But then, there are no perfect human souls in this world. They can still have flaws that sometimes blow our mind to different directions. My best friend never learned from his mistakes and kept on doing it. Despite giving an advice, he doesn’t put into his mind. Regardless, he is still my best friend. How about you, guys? Are there any flaws of your best friend that you don’t like?

I don't really have a best friend anymore. I would rather have many friends. I seem to also be happy to do many things by myself and on my own.

I only have a best friend. I don't trust anybody that easily. Others are just friends.

I guess it's hard to take advice because we all want to feel like we are the ones in charge of our lives.

As a sensitive person, I do think we need to respect whatever decision our friends will make. We had done our part to give some advice and it is up to them to take it or not.

@Shavkat Me too. If we want the person to be our friend, we have to be understanding.

It is always her stories that matter. But I learned to live with it.

I know what you mean. It is a type of a person with 'me, myself and I' syndrome. I am not sure if it is a perfect description.

My best friend talks too much, hard to be able to say a word when she starts talking.

I know what you mean. I have some close friends who cannot stop talking. But then, I am so entertained to be with them.

I once had a best friend in college and even until we have work we are still best of friends. And we broke up the friendship because she made a mistake. I believe in a Family kind of thing since I was a product of a broken family. Stealing a guy from a perfect Family is really not an exemption for our friendship. She made a mistake and I need to let her go. She chooses the guy over our friendship.

Sometimes we cannot hold back sentiments when our best friend did an unacceptable act. Letting go is not easy but it is better for both parties. I have a best friend during college days and had changed when she went to live overseas. She started to develop 'superiority complex' persona.

@Shavkat How does it work? I mean that Superiority Complex? Yeah, you are right. It happens. And until now she is trying to contact me and I ignore her. I don't want her in my life anymore. You know that kind of feeling.

@JustBhem It describes a person that he or she believes in superior to the other people but it wasn't. He or she tries to cover up his or her failures in life.

I do think that some friends of ours cannot be controlled. We just keep on telling them good advice and wait for them to listen. Taking revenge is not also a healthy thing to do. It is better to let go.

We just need to be a good listener if they need our ears to hear them.

That's really a true friend. We can accept their flaws. It doesn't make us lesser if they don't listen.

I do think that some news can be alarming. But then, we cannot do anything about it. It is their choice to be in such situation. We still need to be broad-minded with certain issues and cannot be judgmental as much as possible.

@Shavkat she is my one and only best friend.

*It is my best friend’s birthday today but… / myLot

I am not going to greet her on Facebook. Maybe you will ask why. It is because she seldom opens her account and she is always busy with her family. Yesterday...

I had very good friends from time to time but over time we diverged as our priorities changed. One recent one became too nosey in my life and I have kept away. Older friends just drifted away - siva

I had so many friends before. But then, I tend to stay away from them. I just felt not necessary to be connected with them anymore.

@Shavkat Prima facie, nobody is perfect in this world. Everyone has flaws and of course they do have good qualities too. We should just try to abandon the bad qualities as much as we can and adopt the good qualities as per our ability.

Human beings are created imperfect. That's the reason why we need to be considerate or sensitive in giving some advice to others.

Unrealistic attitude. I am knee deep in reality. I am not great one for advise. But I do give gentle hints, and hope people ponder over them.

In some occasions, I need to be cautious in giving advice. I can go for not being so frank and let them have the benefits of the doubt.

My best friend always got spoiled by me paying the way whenever we went out or to a restaurant. I had to make her pay her own way in later years because I don't have it to spare anymore!! Do U think she would ever offer to pay my way!!???
