I was watching Steph's Packed Lunch ( something that is on in the background before Countdown comes on for Kev) and they did an article on Friendships. There was a fairly young girl on there who admitted she had no friends. Her boyfriend and her dog, lots of people she talks to at work, but no "mates". She seemed ok (Kev immediately said well there's got to be something wrong with her!) But, I didn't think so, she was just one of those people like me who doesn't find it easy to connect to others. It got me thinking. I know loads of people, but how many friends ( and by that I mean how many people do I actually see or spend time with) Charlotte, Andrew and Adam. Yes, a lot that is down to me, I cut out a lot of people after we left the pub, for obvious reasons, and I don't trust easily. But think about it, who do you have? Really? Part of me felt sorry for that girl, part of me didnt, I didn't because sometimes having no one is preferable to having loads of " hangers on"
Don't dismiss this post as a solicitation for "you've got me" posts, it's not, it was just a thought provoking article on a daytime tv programme that actually made me think for once.
