So, what is a friend?
Someone who's there at a time of need?...so what if you were to miss out on one of those times of need when you know u might be needed? Are you still considered a good friend?...I guess you would call that negligence... and just to let you know, it sucks being the one who caused it.
There's that sinking feeling of guilt mixed with self-disgust and of course feeling pissed off at other people who contributed to making you negligent... even though you know ultimately it's your own fault.
From the other perspective, it definitely it sucks to have negligent friends. But not ALL your friends can be negligent right? ... I guess that varies from person to person. Once deemed as a negligent friend, it's a difficult process to climb back up that ladder...
If you end up in any one of these situations (and you actually care), let's just say talking to other people involved helps a whole lot and who knows... you might not be in as deep as you originally imagined yourself to be? and perhaps that negligent friend of yours...may not be as they seem?
it's hard to find a friend who is willing to put aside their self and be there for you in times of need. but i don't think we should be too hard on ourselves... there's always room for realization and improvement! no person is perfect, so no friend is perfect. it's best to let friends know that though we can't always be there for them, we still care... and we also hurt when they're hurt.
