Friends are something that an average person needs. Humans are just made that way. But I think it's not correct to think that friends can fix everything, as well as that friends will stay in your life forever. Throughout life you will meet dozens of people and make many friends. But only one or two out of hundreds will be something you may call a "real friend". That's if you are lucky enough to meed someone with similar mindset and values that you have. People you call 'friends' will walk out of your life for different reasons (they may be insignificant or important) and will stay with you for different amounts of time. That's why I think that it's better if you put yourself/your life/feelings first most of the times when it comes to your friends. You can stay in a really good relationship with them even if you don't always put them first or give all of yourself into these relationships. Because each one of us have their own lifes to take care of. Those people who will want to stay with you and will understand you/love you - will stay. And those who don't - won't. Whatever you do for them. It depends on the mindset of the other party. Loving, helping, caring for your friends is great, but if you put them above other important things like yourself, then they will get used to it. And most people won't do the same for you or will try to use your love for their own emotional self-satisfaction. That's just how it is. So I think you just need to do everything in moderation and state values right in life.
What do you think is your purpose in life?

Research nihilism(optimistic nihilism, existential nihilism...), existentialism(Atheist, Christian...), absurdism and realism (depressive realism, moral realism...)@athenathegreatxx
1st there is no good reason to believe in the 2 world theory which says there's an afterlife and that's somehow why this life is meaningful and the same goes for god, no good reason to believe in her/him/it/whatever the fuck.
2nd Life has no meaning. life is a thing that happens. It's just something you have, and you do whatever the physical body that you are causes...In philosophy that idea's called existential nihilism. I support existential nihilism , it's true when you are viewing meaning from the perspective of the whole universe and it does mention that if we are talking about meaning from the perspective of human consciousness then it's very clear that you have no inherent meaning but you create subjective meaning by your own which will be gone when you die and which is very likely to include things programmed in you by evolution and biology in general, here's the biological definition of life "A distinctive characteristic of a living organism from dead organism or non-living thing, as specifically distinguished by the capacity to grow, metabolize, respond (to stimuli), adapt, and reproduce" and science can offer a wide range of insights on topics ranging from the science of happiness to death anxiety. Scientific inquiry facilitates this through nomological investigation into various aspects of life and reality, such as the Big Bang, the origin of life, and evolution, and by studying the objective factors which correlate with the subjective experience of meaning and happiness. -
