I don't understand why certain people, the ones I hadn't scared off or offended, are still in my life. I'm too scared to ask this question to my friends and frankly I think they are tired of my constant analyzing and questioning of everything else.
So, let me ask you. Why do you accept your friends and their flaws?

because everyone has flaws! If you didn't accept your friends, you would have no friends. And besides, you accept them even though they have flaws too. In fact, flaws make life interesting.

it all depends on what i'm getting out of the arrangement. i tried it without friends, but i always end up coming back to that place because people gravitate towards me for whatever reason. i'm not the best friend, but i do think that, for the most part, i'm there when i can be, the best way that i know how, appropriately.
why do people accept me is the better question. i think we're all human, some of us people don't get and not all of us are popular. anymore i don't really understand a lot of the friendships that i get into. i used to analyze friendship a lot in my twenties but anymore i just go with it and try not to tear it apart too much. sometimes you can overanalyze a friendship and it can really dampen the mood and kill it off rather quickly.
i accept my friends because they've accepted me and all of my quirks, my introverted nature, my strangeness, my weirdness. relationships i can understand, i can deal with, family makes a lot of sense to me but friendship eludes my understanding. i have friends that i see every day, though say nothing to them or have anything to say to them. i don't have any long distance friendships though; once i've moved on to another town or whatever that's pretty much it for me. i tried staying in touch with my friends through the email or the telephone or whatever and it doesn't work. now i have old college acquaintances or people that just want to be friends that really weren't in the past, because we're two lost souls in a strange town but it doesn't really work that way for me.
your friends probably are sick of your overanalyzing everything, one just for hearing it and two because after a while they'll start to question why they really are your friend to begin with, you'll start to believe that you're not the friend that you should be. friendship is best left unanalyzed, taken for what it is and where you're at for that time and just left alone once it's over and done with. if i truly understood my friendships, i probably wouldn't have any.

i accept my friends and their flaws because the way i see it they obviously accept me and my flaws since i am sure that we all have some flaws and if they can get past my flaws then i know that i can get past their flaws and i also think back on all the things that have happened in my life and who it was that i ran to when i had problems or issues that i could not deal with on my own and you will see that it will be your friends with or with out flaws

Because they're human and humans are imperfect. I have flaws and I know I don't want to be rejected because I'm human
Besides, the good in them cancels out the bad and although they might somtimes play with my heart, say some really mean things, do some stupid things, I love them.

Well its simple. Because friends are everything. We are nothing without our friends. Without their support, without someone to hear you out, without someone to care about, everything would be harder. Well, we accept their flaws because we love them for them, with all of those good things they have besides their flaws. And you either love them or leave them. But compromise most often.

I accept my friends and their flaws because I care for them sooooooooooooo much. They always make me feel like I'm with my second family. They give me comfort. I adapt to the stupid and non-hilarious nasty things they sometimes say and the same with them. We were just meant to be friends forever!

Because we're not perfect ourselves.
It's only when those flaws cause them to disrespect us they aren't our friends anymore.

YOU ACCEPT FRIENDS AND THEIR FLAWS BECAUSE IT BUILDS YOUR TRUST WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND THEREFORE THEY'LL ACCEPT YOU FOR WHATEVER YOU DO
