Who is the better friend - One who thinks badly of you for something but confronts you about it, or one who doesn't think those things in the first place?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I generally stick up for people, to third parties that tend to try and discredit them, it doesn’t have to be a huge deal just usually something like,mehhh I dunno, so and so is one of my good friends, and really, it doesnt matter to me if they did xyz, they probably had a good reason- In a non attacking tone. That being said I mean it all depends on the circumstance. I’m not affraid to tell my friends my real opinion of a situation in the sense if I think it’s in their best interest as an outside party looking in- however, my friends are their own people, and my friendship is for the most part unconditional- people make mistakes, and have different ways of life ya know..
