Friends are the family we get to choose. But don't expect too much from them.
Recall the worst time of your life. Now try to remember that one person who stood by you in this hour of crisis. It could either be a parent, sibling or closer friend. Chance are it was there for you, comforting reassuring and supportive. That's what friends are about providing constant support, our comforting confident and our worst critic. They are the family we choose.
Don't expect too much, if we keep a few things in mind, it shouldn't be difficult to make friends. The first is to start a relationship with the right expectations. Don't expect to much. If you start with high hopes, the relationship is likely to flounder. The more acceptance there is, the easier it is to trust. Make sure you do your best to nurture the friendship....
