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 about feelings?
-
Do we need them? Do they hold us back? Do they make us do stupid things? Are they the only thing that keeps us going as a society? What do you think?

@Merlin-James feelings are weird. I don’t recommend it, but they happen. Can you specific in what you are talking about.
-
Feelings are only relevant when there are people out there to acknowledge and reciprocate them. Otherwise they aren't valued and are burdening.

@Merlin-James Feelings are messages from yourself to your higher self .. we react to anything based on how we feel about it . Yet knowladge is the fuel to thier growth ,and everything we do in our lives is motivated by feelings ... Still so much to say on this topic 😁 but Imma stop here .

with no feelings , we will become living dead bodies. (Zombieeee)
-
sometimes they hold us back but depending upon the strength of your will power even negative feelings can motivate you to do something great.
3)well in a society we always want peace and humbleness but, with no feelings people will stop caring about each other and there will be no unity among people due to which societies will break.

For some reason your post reminded me of a book I read called "Who Moved My Cheese". In it the Author asks.... "what would you do if you were not afraid?" Its true if you think of it in a positive way. If you had no feeling of fear you would do new things a lot, and change can be good. BUT in a way fear can also keep you safe by not doing something stupid and getting hurt or even killed. SO yes feelings can hold you back but sometimes that can be a good thing.
sorry wall of text lol
