Counseling and Losing Friends
Written on December 12, 2006 – 11:18 pm | by shenbrood
As a friend I do value friendship greatly and thus I tend to help and counsel my friends as long as I can. Whenever they have problems even just using text I do respond and give them my views about their issues and problems.
But what is saddening is that sometimes when your view contradicts with theirs in the long run you end up losing that friend or you end up enemies. Sometimes I do ask myself whether which is better: (1) To ignore a friend; (2) Just listen to him and share nothing; or (3) Give him/her an advice.
Well based on my experience I think I should be learning to listen and if asked maybe I could give some advise but I should be cautious on that because sometimes people forget that they are your friend and that is the main reason why you are giving such an advice.
I am sorry to loose friends… because for me it is part of my failure as a person. But am happy still because there are friends that I know will stay through the end.

Very well said, but then again people must also learn to understand. We may have different views on things, different opinions so we should learn to respect others opinion on things. We cannot blame people who tend to give us advice- we asked for their help- so expect that they might give us answers which we don’t like or shall we say answers that we cannot comprehend sometimes. It’s their point of view, so its for you to decide whether to accept it or not. Just don’t get mad at them if you think or feel that he/she gave out a wrong answer. But then if that’s the case, better to seek your own judgement and keep quiet.ok
