Naive...

I think I have grown up in a very different environment than the people around. I grew up where people try to insult others and make fun of others. I grew up where people can say whatever they want and just take it as a joke. I grew up where I don't need to use very polite words to communicate. I grew up where I can just be extremely honest and straight to my friends. I do know that a lot of people around me cannot accept the way I talk. The way I talk is not friendly enough for them. But I always think my friends will eventually see the real me. I thought they'll eventually see that's the way I talk, I am not trying to hurt anyone. I thought they'll eventually accept me the way I am. But I realize I'm just too naive. May be many people around me have already left me or ignored me, many of them don't even consider me as a friend anymore and I don't even know it. I'm just fooling myself.

I think nowadays being friends together is a very complicated things. I always thought friends are friends, that's very simple. When your friends need help, you go help them; your friends have a gathering, you go join them; your friends want to chat, have a drink with them. But nowadays, people need to consider a lot of things before making friends with each other. Again, my friends have told me that I'm too naive. I guess they're right, but I still want to keep being naive. At least it'll save a lot of headache. I don't care if my friend have lied to me or hurt me. They're still my friends, unless they don't want to be friend with me anymore. I think making friends can still be very simple with a pure heart.

Being honest and true to your friends is great. But being extremely honest can cost problem. Not everyone have a strong heart that heals quickly when someone points out their fault. You had training where your friends don't hold back when they see something. That makes your heart stronger and more willing to listen even if it not pleasant words. But there are those who have a gentle heart that can't take a straight punch.

In the end, if there is love between friends, I believe things will work out. Just a matter of how much tears and pain is involved.

Never had a thought before that you will have any distress in your life. This is the first time I saw you to express your own feeling. It seems to me that you are too negative to have use the term "Naive" . But I think it is not a good thing to change the thought what you are being to believe for so long a time. If you are to be changed you are not the Peter I know in my mind. And I learned that sometime you just need to have a "biggest heart" to contain many things including good or bad and striving to maintain what you are believing that is good and never give it up.
May be it is time for you to meet up with some new friends. And after a while, when you starts to call your old friend. You will know what to do to improve the friendship. Everything can't be pushed but I believed time can make you changed a bit and still you will be you.
