Who doesn't know what a journal is?
Friends.
True friends: They talk to you when they have a problem and listen when you do, regardless of the mood either of you is in. They don't stomp all over your beliefs, either. They encourage you to be yourself but encourage that you find the truth if they disagree with you, without blatantly telling you that you are wrong without an explanation as to why.

Fake friends- They talk to you only when it's convenient for them. Here are the two types.

Users: They talk to you only when they're bored. They leave or practically stop talking to you when someone else is available and they never talk to you first.

Abusers: They talk to you only when they're in a bad mood. They don't leave so soon but all they do is talk s**t about you and talk s**t about other people to you until they do leave. Then they wonder why everyone else is always talking s**t about them and only contribute to the problem by continuing the cycle.

Some friends would rather just not inflict their pain upon others.

If you're their friend, you won't keep your pain a secret from them.

It's the sad truth, but it is a good way to view everyone you know and see out the fakes from the true. And you, Bai, for me, are a true friend. Thank you

I admit that I've been a user, often. I'm guilty of that. I try not to be, but I'm usuall only a user toward people who don't hesitate to complain about how bored they are when they talk to me.

However, I've also been the best friends most Users I've known have ever had and yet they drop me faster than a hot potato just because someone else is available more often or caters to a different need.

Me? I can't multitask but I never let a message go unanswered in my e-mail or my Gaia PM inbox or my IMVU messages or anything that doesn't involve a chat messenger got unanswered for more than two days, ESPECIALLY if I've already read the message. Because that would just shows the person waiting on my reply that I've read the message but just can't be bothered to talk to them anymore.

At least have the courtesy to say "Sorry, I've got a lot on my plate right now. I'll get back to this soon." or "I don't wanna talk, anymore."

Don't try to lay some guilt trip or blame game when someone says you're ignoring them. If you've read their last message and you've been off role-playing without replying to it for two days, that's ignoring it.

I hate being nice to somebody only to be taken advantage of. Okay. . . rant over.
