i never consider friendship as burden but sometimes i do feel.its not good to think that way but when friends interfere in your studies or even in your fame you may sometimes get angry and irritated.do you agree with me?do you consider it a burden?

i never consider my friends to be a burden... i always make friends that understand me well... nd if they don't i make them in a friendly way... making friends that understand u is the best thing 1 can do to avoid such circumstances...as burdening..

sometimes I have the same feeling.I have a good friend,and when i met some difficulties i always told her.but one time we didn't talk to each other without any reasons,it made me very angry and confuse.so i have been sulking for some days ,at that time i considered that being her friend is a hard work.later i encouraged myself to talk to her ,of course we are good friends again.

Some friends can be a test on your patience. While others are not a bother at all. They know when to "be there" and when you don't need the interuptions. It's just a matter of maybe you needing to let the person that's testing your patience how you feel.

Yes sometimes this kind of situation arises and during that time times friendship really becomes a burden.

I guess it could be a burden sometimes, especially if your trying to study or get some work done and they are always around trying to distract you, or trying to get you to go do something and bothering you all the time. I would consider it a burden and I would tell them to leave me alone for awhile, till I get my stuff done.

i never consider a friend a burden. i take the good , bad & the ugly from them just like they do from me.

sometimes i feel that too. like, instead of moving forward, i always think of how my friend would react. or if i get noticed more than her, i always consider how she would feel. i feel like i'm being held back. but i guess thats one of the tests of a true friendship.

Friendships are never a burden to me.. INstead, they are my experiences in life.. All of my frenz teach me different things in life, and they share their experiences with me too.. Without them, be it good or bad frenz, i wont be here today.. I owe what i have today, to them ^_^ ONe cant survive without frenz, because they will always be around for us no matter what happens.. Though there are some greedy or bad frenz, but most of the time, we are the ones to judge who are our real frenz in life ^_^

I'm quite ambiguous in this topic. Just recently, I shed connections with a few people that I call "friends" because their lifestyles and their outlooks no longer reconciles with mine. I mean, they don't have to agree with me all the time, but I can no longer conform or try to adjust to their attitudes and their way of life because it's interfering with mine. It's like their no longer respecting my outlook in life and are trying to drag me into theirs. My relationships with my other "friends" work well and smoothly, ironically.
