I liked this idea of friendship when I read it, I could relate to it. I haven't really had that many real friends in my lifetime. I have mostly hung around family only. So, I am just now in my later years learning how to make and be friends with others. I don't know why it took so long, but I guess it's better late than never? I know it is. I have been doing some self-help groups and learned how to think of others, not only of myself and my needs. I guess you could say that I was selfish. I didn't know that, I thought I did everything for everyone. That's only because I didn't want anyone telling me what to do. I know that now. That's what I have found 0ut about myself, I am still in the learning mode. I will; get back to it later on.
