i have a problem, a have a bestfriend, well at least i know we are, the problem is his kind of off for me, he doesn't really share his lovelife, but we always stay together, be together, he even stays overnight at my house, and my mum likes him too.But sometimes his kind of a naive thinker, and it pisses me off, sometimes his hard headed, and sometimes he doesn't have the initiative of what a real friend should have..and when we have an arguement sometimes he doesn't listen to what i say,even though its pretty obvious that im right and his wrong. errghhh! what will i do..

I have a friend who I always fight with, even though we're best friends. It annoys me at times, a lot, but you just have to remember the reasons that you're friends and maybe try to talk to him about the things that you argue with him about. If he isn't acting like a real friend then you should talk to him because at the end of the day he needs to understand the fact that you deserve to be treated with respect just like you treat him. We should never settle for second best in our lives, because we deserve the absolute best.

Bestfriends should a common denominator. They understand each other even without a word. As his bestfriend, you should understands him even at the worst of his decisions. Because at the end of the day, you are the one who will a hero for him.

Some times friends agree always, sometimes friend disagrees but does not reveal , he just keeps quiet and avoids argument , just because he is friends. If friend say anything that is the mandate. Such friends exists. There are friends who always disagree and even quarrel. But after the storm they are together and never give up. If someone acts in favor of a friend it would be only for that duration but when the turmoil is over they are one again. And the one who defended will remain out. Some friendship lasts only during the school days and for convenience. Very few friends are life long friends and even after 30 or 40 years they will not depart. Friendship occurs with persons of any age group. Some seek friendship with littleones and fill them with affection and guide them. Some friends are of same age. Some littleones seek friendship with elerly and build up a descipleship and they love and obey their Guru , teacher or master. When the love is genuine nothing will separate them . Even if a conflict situation will occur between friends, they quarrel, argue stop talking and meeting. Whey show negligence just to provoke but after sometime they burst out, hug eachother , accuse eachother but then make peace and become one. Some friends will always give and never receive. For some when friendship is concerned there is no barter system, there is no exchange of gifts but just meet or help the friend when he is in need without climing to return. When friendhip grows mature, friends may communicate rarely, write rarely yet they are in communion and seek eachothers joy and wellbeing. If a friend reccommends a person in need the other friend even if he is helpless goes out of the way to help just because the friend reccommends it. The one who finds friendship finds a treasure.

Hi kibinkibin. :) Sorry for saying this but maybe your relationship is not really as best friends. Because as I understood it, best friends understand each other. Yes there are misunderstandings but.. Well, if you are really having a hard time dealing with him then talk to him. Sort out your problems and tell him his behavior. If he accepts it then he is a friend because he understood you. But I guess, men don't really do that. I dunno. We girls do it most of the time. Less awkward moments. And if he doesn't want to talk anything about his love-life, then let him keep it to himself. Maybe he'll be able to tell you someday when he's ready. :) I think you have to talk to him because if you continue to behave like now, your friendship won't last. :) Good luck!

There's a saying friends come and go and those who are true will stay with us. I disagree with this saying though, no one person can really forget their friends once they have become friends, share a history. This friend of yours has personality, that's just what makes him to be him. Wasn't that why the first place you became friends with him because he was being him? He isn't a naive thinker, I'm sure he has his reasons. Friends are sometimes like a sponge, you press them the liquid comes out and when you release, the liquid goes back in but not all of it. Just like when we give our advices to them, not all will go back into them. Some they accept and some they just don't. I know at time we wanted to care our friends, we wanted to barge into their life and make them better, we want to do things our way because we think is the best, we would argue the whole time just to prove that we were right. All this is because we want them to know that we care and we what's best for them. But in reality, that's not applicable. We can't put pressure and control over a person all the time even when our intention are pure. Our actions will only make them feel intolerable to us. The best remedy for these situations is to do nothing at all until they request it. Don't let small things come between you two. You two are good best friends, let him do what he wants. What's the worse that could happen. If we fall we have to stand up on our own to learn something. Let your friend fall sometimes, he needs that fall to grow up. As for you, learn to let go. Hope that helps.
