Uhhh I don't have friends.
Sometimes my boyfriend tells me stuff I don't wanna hear, so I'll pout, act like an eight year old then listen to him. He gives me advice to, a lot of which I can't use because...it's advice about my Mom and well...you know...
I like it when he's frank with me though, I'm not into the whole tiptoe around feelings bit. (My feelings that is)
If I know someone is a little more sensitive I'll rephrase things. I can be very blunt, to the point where it's hurtful. I know that being like that to some people does nothing but alienate them.
When I had more friends of the female variety I found them to be useless. They'd give advice that didn't challenge me it was more along the lines of; "Oh, if I say something she doesn't wanna hear she won't be my friend." I like people who challenge me, it helps me grow and broaden my horizons, even if I resist at first.
