The Rules of Friendship, the Basics!

Here are the rules!!!

• If you have a lot in common with someone, you can become good friends with that person!
• If you do not have a lot in common with a person, be nice, but don't try to be BFF's. You will only end up silently judging that person for all their differences. And they will probably be doing the same to you!
• If you are mad at a friend for something that offended you, tell them, and talk about it. 
• If you are mad at a friend for something they say or do that is just "who they are", keep your mouth shut and just accept who they are!
• If you cannot accept who they are, they probably should not be your friend.... which is completely OK!

You do not have to be friends with everyone! Do not try to force friendship with someone just because you think you have to. Fellow military wives... I am looking at YOU with this. We often think that because of our co-dependence on each other that we all have to be besties!! We don't! We can be there for one another and help one another, but we should limit ourselves to be close with those that have similar things in common with us. This will prevent the eventual breakdown of the friendship due to the fact that you have nothing in common and have been silently judging and getting annoyed with each other! This is also true for any kind of work or social environment. If you are trying to be besties with your co-workers who have nothing in common with you in your personal life, the outcome is the same. Count on it! 

IF you become good friends and THEN realize you do not have anything in common, well, look on the bright side... you have a constant and stable topic of conversation with your husband or mom everynight! smh. And so do they!!! win-win?! lol


Please keep in mind that this is my opinion, not scientific fact! lol
