Friendship is an investment

Looking at this image, we can see clearly that what this person says is bad. You know, we all want that friend we can always reach out to even when we don't invest in them, when we don't talk to them every day, and we can just get on with our life and the definition of friendship is something else these days, and most people are trying to change it, trying to tell us that your friend shouldn't be the person you invest in. Your friend shouldn't be the person you call all the time and have a good conversation with, they shouldn't be your closest part, which is very wrong.

That is why we have this set of people in our DM asking for help, and it feels strange to us because we have not been talking, we have never been close, and you enter this person's DM and start asking for money. It always sounds funny because how can you feel comfortable asking somebody you did not invest your time in? You did not invest your effort, and you did not create any bond between you, How can you be asking them for money or asking them crazy favors?

The truth is, some people are comfortable with not reaching out, and they don't see anything bad in it, we have them as friends, but not everybody can take this, most human beings need reassurance, and we also want some kind of bond, and you can only create a bond when you put in the effort and one of my friends used to say that effort is sexy, which is true. Maintaining friendships requires effort and communication, even if it may not come naturally to you. While it's understandable to feel comfortable in your current relationships, it's important to find a balance and actively work towards strengthening those connections. Consider setting reminders or making an effort to reach out regularly, as friendships are an investment worth making.

Media will isolate

It's important to remember that not everything you see on the internet is true. Just because something seems interesting or attractive, doesn't make it factual. This also applies to the tweet mentioned above, as it's not accurate to expect a reward from a place where you haven't invested any effort. Although we all lead busy lives and have demanding schedules, it's crucial to take the time to connect with the people we care about. Even if it's just once a week, reaching out to remind them of their significance in our lives can make a world of difference.

These happen every day when somebody that you have not been talking to for more than a year enters your DM and starts asking for money because you uploaded a nice picture or spending time with your family, and this always feels strange, I know this might not feel strange to some but It always feels strange to me and in this situation even if I have the money, I am not giving it out. I know most people feel like this, too. if you have the mentality of not reaching out or not investing in your friends, try to build a relationship. You mostly get turned down by most people.

It worth it

Building a strong relationship takes time and effort, but it's worth it in the end. Friendship is not about expecting rewards but about providing support and being there for each other. It's important to invest your time and effort in the right people. Misleading information and social media can make us feel like we don't need to invest in our friendships, but that's not true. In fact, it can lead to isolation and losing out on valuable connections. So let's make an effort to build meaningful friendships.
