Happy Monday everyone! Today I linked up with my big sister to bring you a Q&A about your squad aka your friend circle. I gathered a few questions regarding friends and acquaintances and she keeps it all the way real which is something I truly appreciate about her. As a young woman and even as we get older it’s never easy to navigate through friendships but having a solid, loyal, strong group of women around you makes the journey a tad bit easier. I hope you all find this Q&A helpful. Let’s get to it..
Question #1: What’s the difference between a friend and acquaintance?
Answer: “Friends are those you have a genuine connection with. Friends are ready and willing to go through difficult situations with you. They are the ones that are standing beside you when you are at your worst. Friends are ready to give or assist in any way, regardless of the circumstance. Acquaintances are the ones that you are cool with. You enjoy being around them and you may share certain parts of your life with them but they will never have full access to your life. They are mostly there for a good time.”
Question #2: What’s a rule of friendship that should never be broken?
Answer: “A rule of friendship that should never be broken: there’s actually several rules.
but the most important is NEVER betray a friend’s trust. Trust is essential in any relationship and when the trust is broken it hinders the relationship.”
Question #3: How do you balance your relationship and your friendships?
Answer: “A true friend will understand that when you are in a relationship some things will change. You may not hang out or talk as much, but a real friend will understand that. Also, if you’re in a healthy relationship, your partner will understand that you had friends and a life before you met. Your partner should be accepting of your friendships, and having time for your friends should NOT be an issue.”
Question #4: Should you always take your friends advice?
Answer: “You don’t always have to take a friend’s advice. They may be trying to be helpful, but what works for them may not work for you. A real friend will not be offended when you don’t take their advice. A friend will understand the choices you make, and will respect them and have your back no matter what.”
Question #5: How do you be a good friend to your friends?
Answer: “If you truly care about someone, being a good friend comes natural. A good friend supports you in your endeavors. A good friend is not afraid to tell you that you’re wrong, a good friend will stand up for you when you are not even around. A good friend drops everything, when you need them. A friend will sit with you in silence when words can’t help. Being a good friend comes natural when it’s a real friendship.”
Question #6: What’s the most important element in a friendship?
Answer: “The most important elements of friendship are trust and respect. If you’re not trustworthy then you can’t be a real friend. You have to be able to respect your friends choices and decisions. You may not always agree with what your friend does, but respecting their choices shows that you love them unconditionally.”
I want to send a huge thank you to my big sis for being apart of this and sharing her thoughts with us all. A strong black woman she is indeed. You’re poppin sis.
