How about the understanding that you can take a horse to the river but won't make it drink water ?

Praying for them to become as you are according to their need.

I'm currently in this phase of life. Niggas eat and wine with me but they plan evil for me secretly. The worst is that even some who are rich and doing better than me joined the que. Local man had to go solo

Welcome to life.

Envy is as old as humanity itself, its the first instance of murder in the bible (Cain and Abel), and comes naturally to everyone. But very few people have the ability to overcome and not act on envy. Be vigilant.

You can't trust them and don't tell them everything about yourself or your plans.
Maybe they are not actually real friends because a friend will always look out for you come what may.

Friends, I stop keeping friends the day someone I trusted so much someone I took like a brother almost took advantage of me in my own father's house just because I was the only one at home, seriously that why I have trust issues with men, since then I stop keeping friends especially male friends that why I'm always on nairaland most times at least to keep myself company.

You're spot on. Thanks man

dopedan:
Never pass weed to dem
Dey will finish it

yes na

I'm the type that don't keep many friends unto introvert level. But I've been really lucky with the few friends in my life, past and present.

Look after yourself and look after others next.
Don't prioritize friends over yourself. You can prioritize friendship once a while if he or she is worth it at times.

Friends taught me not to have friends.

SalafRider:
Friends that want the best for you, the ones that want to see you fail. The real and the fake. What have been your experience so far keeping friends?

Make I sit down learn...

Friends fvckup

One side of the story

Blablamalala:


One side of the story

Really,so which other side of the story would you like to hear .

I have learned lots of things. If you are an achiever among your friends always be careful about how you relate with them because you'll be labeled as a proud person. There's nothing you will give them that will be satisfactory to them and if you decide to stop giving out money to them you will be called names. I could remember when my close friend that I always give out my clothes, shoe, and money for the sake of friendship showed me what it meant to be stingy. He always wanted to sell his things to me but always want to collect mine for the sake of friendship. I could when my close friend had 700k with the condition I was then he managed to give me #500. I wasn't interested in his money but I couldn't believe it but I decided to work hard and I was blessed at the beginning of this year and I told him about it but I could see jealousy in his eyes and he wasn't feeling comfortable with me. I decided to let go of him personally so I wi not have to always reason about his greedy part! I will never shape the outcome of my success to any of my jealous friends.

Life is best when there is no much friends around. I have a friend who always love getting information from you. I always let in him on whatever I am doing, but he's is always different. He keeps things secret and would not tell you if he has something fetching him money.

I told him about it and he decided not to talk to me, friendship of 10 years, but it's all good. Being alone is nothing short of perfection.

virginprincess:

Your friend's side of the story because very often a one sided story is not the whole truth.
Just like the mother of the girl in the Chrisland school sex scandal was projecting a story of her daughter being raped by a gang of boys.

Trust no one, even your shadow leaves you in the darkness

Really!,Then maybe you should go look for him so he will tell you his own side of the story ,mtcheeeeeew.

Only your parents genuinely wish for you to be better than them,no other person. I repeat, no other being wants that.

Here are some lessons I've learnt about friendship:

1. Most friendship are conditional, once the factor that brought you together is gone, then the friendship dies. E.g University 'friends', Work 'friends' etc.

2. Most of whom you call friends are not really friends but colleagues. A favourite quote from one of my senior colleague (then): "Nobody in your workplace is your friend. Do your work, get paid and go home!"

3. Try and turn the very few friends you might have into "family" (through marriage etc.) for the best friends you can have is your "family".

4. Some friends do turn family, and stay with you through thick and thin, but this is quite rare. Once you get one, you've gotten a pal for life!

5. In the journey of life especially after school, you must be very flexible on who you consider a 'friend' for each decade and phase of life will almost always change your definition of friendship.

I have a good female and male friends that helps me, is not really good to be alone.

Never trust any friend

They are betrayer, I don't keep friends anymore I'm on my own.

Friends envy you when you are soaring higher even when they are way above where you are going to.

They want you to become their follower and beg them to feed.

They stab you behind your back and laugh with you in your presence.

They see you dating a prostitute and won't tell you that you are dating a who're because they want you to be damaged.

They encourage to take drugs and carry girls but hide money updates from you.

I have learnt to stay low-key and make sure all of them feel superior to me.

I have learnt to shout on anyone, if you looseguard you go collect asap.

I have learnt not to give out without collecting collateral unless e just enter mind to give.

I have learnt not to judge another friend because what you say is what they will tell the person, they won't say theirs.

I have learnt to keep enemies, everyone can't be my friend.

I have learnt to observe more and speak less.

I have learnt some much from friends, laslas na only you and your parents want make you progress.

I’ve always had trouble making friends.
But I do know from other people experience that they can be cunning and disloyal. And extremely selfish and jealous too

Thank you

He probably won't keep in touch with them.

Not every of dangote friends want to be rich like him, some just want a normal life.

OgunkeelAllMod:
That there is really no friend(especially black nigerians)Only God and your mother are your friends.Trust NOBODY

Are you from a house of single mother?

Everybody has suddenly forgotten how they were down and their friends came through for them.

To stop getting closer to friends who feels depressed with my Achievements.

They only spend the present moment with you, and the next days they are gone.

Stay off friends they ain't loyal, my good home nigga gave me poison some years back but thank God for life and small juju wey my grandma don do for all of us body but I saw hell and came back.
