I sometimes ask myself, "What are friends? Why do they exist? Why do you need friends?", but never truly reach a conclusion. Today, for example, my friend, S.N., asked me out to watch a movie with her and another friend. I wanted to go, of course, to watch the movie, but I have some family issues that prevent me from going. I knew my family wouldn't let me go, and asking them will only adulterate our relationship. I didn't want to explicitly reject S.N.'s query, so instead I uttered, "Umm, I don't know...I don't think I can go..." Her tone suddenly changed after my indecisive answer, and she professed, with a critical attitude, that I don't care about her, etc, etc. I do like her, of course as a friend, but sometimes I just feel that friends are obstructive, or antagonistic to one's life; after all, everybody is self-centered, in a way. But without friends, one will feel lonely, and, as a matter of fact, that person will be teased and abused. I know friends are significant, but what role do they play in our lives? Do we have to say "yes" to whatever your friend asks you to do? I don't know, but sometimes, I feel like friends use me for nothing.
