3yr plus never met and get in touch.. Last year we meet up and i'm very astonish.. a 21 yr gal who have biz minded person.. I tend not to judge the book by the cover each time i met friends that i never met for long time. yesterday i discover another side of her.. she is the very blunt gal i never met, some ppl like her some don't. who care? All of sudden i realise.. i can accept her as who she is..but she really scare me.. Can you accept your friends of who they are? Can you accept even you may not agreed with them? Will you support his/her decision even you disagree? May be you can share your story for us in my lot here..

Are you talking about me? I'm 22 not 21 ok!? How dare you say me to be so young! And how do I scare you? I had done nothing to you ::hurt:: =( Hehe.. if they are considered to be my friends, then yes of course I can accept them for who they are. If I can't accept them, then how could they be considered as your friends? That would be too hypocritical to be hanging out with people whom you do not like or whose charactor you cannot accept, right? There's nothing worse than people smiling in your face, apparantly to like you, and underneath them in their hearts, all of a sudden you realise that it's all a facarce. It's totally fine and normal to meet people in our life journey who will love us, and some will hate or dislike us for whatever reason. No matter what it is, it is always much better to be yourself rather than imitating someone else just because you think that those characteristics will get you more well liked and all that stuff.. Why do I say so? It's because if we are just acting and adopting a character just to get people to like us, then are these people true friends? Are they liking us because of our real selves or because of a 'fake' us? Then there is no point to having these people as friends as they don't even know our true selves. Then what is the point? To answer your questions, yes I will accept my friends for who they are, regardless of whether or not there are some characteristics of his that I don't like or agree with. Similarly my group of friends accepts me for who I am. Hopefully you will be able to show your true selves to others, instead of presenting a fake you to others out there. In that way, you will then be clear on what is going on and won't be so unhappy.. Take care!
