@petrapark3r Defining a true friend is hard. There can be multiple things that people expect from a 'true' friend, but as humans, we make errors. Does making a mistake deem someone as an untrue friend?
I think in order for anyone to be a true friend, they have to be true to themselves. They have to be as loyal to their friends as they are to themselves. Just as honest, trustworthy, all that jelly.
I think this is important because to me, a true friend, means that you know them and who they are as a person, not just who they present themselves to be. Some friends are very honest, trust worthy, and all the other things you would want in a friend, yet you still might not really know who they are a person.
This is expected most of the time. No one ever really shows their true colors, they just show the part they want everyone else to see, but alone, they are different.
Lets take an easy example, the "N" word, it is in a lot of music and is used commonly amongst many people now. It is said that if youre not black then you cant say it, yet so many other people still crave to say it, so they do. They say it to themselves, maybe even to their friends, or just behind closed doors, but yet if theyre not black, chances are they wont say it infront of another black person.
This makes sense, they wont say it out of caution, they don't know how the person will react or they don't want to offend. However, in that situation, I wouldn't think that person is true. Not to themselves or the people they are around, cause they are hiding the kind of person they really are.
This might be a bad example, I just had a discussion with my friend about this the other day so it was the first one that popped into my head, but my point is, I think I only consider someone a true friend if they can be true to themselves as they are alone than they are with me and others.

RE: What are your bad habits?
@robtheworst Maybe you should start by changing your name to robthebest instead 🤔

RE: What is it you really don't like in a partner?
@petrapark3r Selfishness and being needy.... I'm already the needy one there can't be two🙄
If they have bad humor, or super messy, or have bad taste in music, or bad taste in shows, or ignorant, or inconsiderate, and they have to love animals!!
As you can see I'm very picky 😋 -
Olivia's Thoughts #06
I don't know what to do anymore. I have so many thoughts and things I want to say, feelings I want to express, but I hardly do because who cares?
There have been countless of times where I've written a lengthy response to a topic and then I just discard the whole thing because I know that no one really cares about what I have to say. Which makes sense. Why would they? Ffs, I barely even care what others have to say unless I'm the one asking the questions. It only makes sense for them to not care as well.
But all of these ideas in my head, I feel like I have to get them out. I don't bother telling any of my friends and family because, well, it feels like a bother. They don't care either and if they did they wouldn't understand what I'm trying to say anyway.
That's the biggest problem, no one understands anyway.
Its tiresome keeping everything inside but if I let it all out it seems pointless. Even me complaining about it now seems pointless. Just another spoiled millennial complaining about first world problems. Nice. -
Olivia's Thoughts #08
Sometimes I get these feelings like I am supposed to do something. Like my life has an actual purpose that I need to fulfill and its big. I know it's not true and I am not in any position to think that it is, but every time I try to shake the feeling it comes back.
It's the same constant feeling of looking from the outside in. It is almost like I can see everyone in a single room and they are all asleep. I'm in another room and it's filled with TV screens. I can see everyone sleeping, but I cant wake anyone up. I want to sound the alarm but it is too quiet for anyone to hear. I can personally try to shake everyone until they wake, but when I do they cant see me. Their eyes are open, but they're still asleep?
In the room I stay, where there's a bunch of screens from each camera, I see in the corner that there's a camera on me. Who is watching me? Perhaps I am the one that is asleep. This dream is too lucid I will never wake up. -
RE: Would you rather again!
@Lurker this is true. I think I was speaking from a more personal view because I've never ended a relationship unless it had to end, and I've never stayed in a toxic one. But these things do happen, I've just never experienced them

RE: Tell me about your dream job...
@petrapark3r When I was a kid I wanted to be an actress or talk show host, anything that would make me famous and make people know my name!
Now, Im a lot smarter and I know a job like that is a lot worse than I would like it to be.
So my dream job would be to rule the world and make it a better place hehe 😈
Truthfully, I don't know what my dream job is anymore. -

RE: Would You Rather....
@Matt_Aranha said in Would You Rather....:
@OliveOlivia No-brainer, it's sweat since you put the caveat of it being a dirty toilet in there 🤮
Now, if we get to pick the stranger and from which part of their body the sweat is collected from then that might also make this option far less bad...
How would you pick the strangers and which body part would you choose?😂

RE: If You Became The Leader Of A Country......
@TheGoldenMole Instead of one country I would like all the countries. I would separate the people that I think are progressive with those that are not and let the others die out and create my own New World Order where the children are taught to love one other despite differences and there would be no corruption or need for it. The government wouldn't brainwash citizens and we would be the closest to peace. I'm trying to play God, but the good way.

RE: What thoughts keep you up at night?
@Sup said in What thoughts keep you up at night?:
At a stage when im almost asleep, my mind gets filled with dreams,thoughts,desires and questions. Most of them are about my future. I think about my purpose in life and about my destiny. How will I be as a person,what will i achieve,in what aspects of life will I fail etc etc etc.
Do those thoughts get you anywhere though? Do you think you know more about yourself than you did before staying up thinking those things?
