The friend connection

As you get older, you inevitably lose touch with your buds—which can have a terrible impact on your health. But as one group of friends (among them a Navy SEAL, a fighter pilot, a tech exec, and a neuroscientist) proved, growing apart isn't inevitable.

[Lynx nkaf]

the regularity they communicated with each other.
I was wondering if other people still communicate with friends daily without judgement.
Here was an example.

so I see some threads of your interest in different careers, reads like you're boxing and looking into different types of work.
Good going on being purposeful Eli.

Going through a fallout with an old schoolmate now. People change, do drugs, etc etc.
Friends are RARE. And do your life good and have people in it that are generally interested in you. Your life and your views.
Keep your enemies closer still.

When I was say 15, my high school physics teacher told me, "If you find one true friend your lifetime, consider yourself lucky." That went way over my head at the time.

At nearly 45, I have one solid buddy for the past 12 years. The teacher was right.

Its just those closest to us have the potential to become the worst of enemies.

Yes. No disagreement here.

My #1 criteria for a true friend is that what we talk about stays between us. That alone disqualifies 99.9%+ of people lol.

 

[eli77]

right on i keep a close circle and i never confused seniority with loyalty people are shady as hell
