Friendships are an integral part of our lives. No matter what you’re going

through, if there’s one right thing about your life, it is probably your friends!

Making friends, being crazy and silly together, losing touch with them and

making new ones and moving on in life – we’ve all been there, done that. Wegrow up around friends and yet know only little when it comes to friendships.

Here we tell you 22 truths about friendship nobody will ever tell you.

1 It’s not always that you’ll find your best friends by your side. There will be

times they’re not around when you need them the most. Sometimes, they may

have a genuine reason and other times, they may just be bailing out on you.

2 There are some friends you don’t need to be constantly in touch with. Their

friendship isn’t affected by time or distance. Even if it has been years since you

last spoke to them, you’ll pick up from where you left. And you’d be surprised to

know how well they still know you.

3 No matter how much you’ve invested in your friendship, some friends are

always going to be too busy for you. Get the hint.

4 The time you’ve spent with a friend doesn’t always determine how well they

know you. Sometimes, you realize the friends (http://www.mensxp.com/special

features/today/27078-18-things-youll-relate-to-if-youre-friends-with-

someone-who-gets-drunk-easily.html) you’ve been with all your life don’t even

know you and people you’ve just met a week ago understand you like nobody

else.

5 Everybody’s insecure about their friendships. Yeah, we’ve all felt ‘left out’ at

some point or the other.

6 Your friendships (http://www.mensxp.com/relationships/friendship/27494-

11-reasons-why-men-are-better-at-friendship-than-women.html) are going to

take a backseat the day you enter into a relationship. You might just eventually

lose out on some of the most special friends you’ve had if you don’t make it up

to them in time.

7 Some friendships are really short-lived. Those freindships just die after a

while. And, you can do nothing about it, that’s just how it is. Not all friends are

meant to be ‘friends forever’. Cherish it while it lasts.

8 You will grow apart from some friends because you suddenly feel you just

cannot relate to them anymore.

9 And some friends will drift away from you too, whether or not you like it.

1 You’re going to make new friends every day in your early 20s but no matter

how much you may socialize, you’ll end up with just 2 or 3 real friends. And

that’s all you really need.

11 Most friendships break because of the most trivial misunderstandings.

Nobody makes an effort to sort it out and the silence worsens it further.

Misunderstandings do more harm than you can imagine. Never leave things

unsaid.

12 You know your friends aren’t worth keeping when you realize they’re jealous

of your success.

13 As you grow up, you’re going to walk down different paths in life. Your

friends are going to get more successful, they’re going to get married at a time

when you don’t even know what job to take up and there will be a lot that could

go wrong in the friendship. And, it’s going to take a lot of effort to make it work.

14 More often than not, friends you fight with the most on the smallest of things

are the ones that stay till the end.

15 And there will be those who will seek your friendship only when they need

you. They may be fun to hang out with but they’re not gonna stay. They were

never here to stay in the first place.

16 Never ignore your real friends for new ones. Your real friends are the ones

who will stay with you; everything else will fizzle out in a while.

17 There will come a time when your best friends

(http://www.mensxp.com/relationships/friendship/27526-11-reasons-why-

your-cousins-are-your-best-friends-for-life.html) are going to start making new

friends and you’re going to feel jealous, envious and wronged all at the sametime. Sometimes, equations change and you will need to accept that you cannot

always be as close to someone as you once were. That doesn’t mean you’re not

friends anymore, just not as good as you once were, maybe.

18 Not all friendships break because your friend ‘just doesn’t understand’. A lot

of times, it is you who is at fault. And unless you realize it, your friends are going

to have a hard time sticking around.

19 Every friendship has its ups and downs. Some make it through, some don’t.

The ‘difficult phase’ is inevitable. Friends are going to disappoint every now and

then and maintaining friendships could sometimes be emotionally exhaustive.

You just gotta find the ones worth struggling for.

2 You won’t always get your due. Some friends will make you believe you’re

really close but they may not really be emotionally attached to you at all. Some

friendships always remain one sided.

21 Whether it is a nasty fight with your parents, a career dilemma, quarter life

crisis, or a break up with a girlfriend – your best friend is the person you go to.

But what do you do when your friendship with your best friend ends? You’re

suddenly all alone. A break up with a best friend hurts much more than a

relationship break up.

22 No matter how great your friends may be, there will come a time when youwill have to deal with your problems all by yourself, when there will be nobody

around to lean on. And for that, you need to start loving yourself and learn how

to enjoy being alone. You cannot always depend on friends. Sometimes, you

gotta be your own best friend.
