a real friend is someone
Think about friendship
who is willing to put the friendship on the line and be
honest. A friend will say to you that you've put on
some weight and it's an observation, not a judgment.
Personally, I want to surround myself with people who
are willing to risk everything to be straight and honest¯
With me. The person who hedges about being honest
and says, "Gee, I don't want to hurt your feelings,"
isn't really a friend. He's a person who's afraid to hurt
my feelings because maybe then I won't like him. I
want people around me who are choosing to be there
rather than needing to be there.
