I want someone to support me in times of trouble, not coddle. Someone to help me weather the storm instead of completely sheltering me. Someone that encourages me to be great, but at the same time sensible enough to poke at my ego and call me out when required. So, I guess it's a fine combination of the two. Both blank checks and reality checks.
It's a difficult job, no doubt about it, and arguably my expectations of my friends is the reason why I don't have a lot of friends as it's a lot of work most folks aren't willing to do. But the friends I do have (and family for that matter), who are willing to do that extra bit, over the years have done a fine job of it and have made me a better man than I could have ever been without them and I hope they see me the same way.
