Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I rang my girlfriend about how was feeling yesterday but she wasn't very interested because she said she was studying. She is doing a part time course 1 evening a week and she doesn't work but she couldn't spare me 1/2 an hour when I was feeling bad. I was disapointed because I have to support her a lot with my time with her worries and concerns. Anyhow, I realised how important friendship is because you need people to understand you and see your point of view. And also to point out where you might be wrong while still being your close friend with your interest at heart. It is easier to accept a mistake when you don't feel so bad about yourself and feel accepted. Dr Tony Lake, an expert on loneliness, say's we all need a constant feedback from significant others to feel okay about ourselves othewise our internal critic is liable to take a corrosive hold and start to do damage to our self esteem. Now this makes a lot of sense to me. How I would love to be completely independent but it seems that we all need at least 1 or 2 close friends. Kaivey.
