Do you love your friends?

I'm not sure I even know what love is. I'm pretty dead and numb inside. I know I love a select few friends and family as much as I can but all in all I'm pretty selfish. I'm working on these things.
 
Short answer: No.

But I like them.

Otherwise they wouldn't be my friends. I'd do favors for them. Help them out if they needed it. Listen and try to help with problems and advice. But to an extent.

I don't look to get anything out of a friendship...but when you do a lot for your friends and they can't even give you a shred of help in a time of need...that's when you drop them. And that's happened to me a lot.

So, no, I don't love my friends. But they're good people.

This actually brings up an interesting question or point.
People you have to deal with and be friendly to = Coworkers and randoms.
People you really like = friends.
People you love = family (whether blood related or not).
 
"Love" and "like" are just different degrees of intensity for describing emotional attachment.

And that's why I'm a romantic. :o
 
I tend not to tell people that I love them. I try to show them that I love them.
 
Love is a strong word.

To me it implies someone you would die for.

and I never had friends like that.

Family is another story though.

Some of the most treacherous people I've met have been family.
Another good and interesting point.

You can't choose who is in your family, but you can choose your friends.

Sometimes family is the worst and friends are much better.

You can choose a husband or wife and love your children unconditionally.

I've lost a few friends and I always brush it off. I could never just "brush off" losing my immediate family.

You're lucky. 3 strikes you're out, I don't care if we're blood related. Being screwed over by someone 3 times is more than enough chances.

I'm a black sheep.

I know all about ditching extended family.

I'm referring to the family you create yourself when you find the right person.
 
Nope, in fact I've dropped a friend recently.
 
I find that the word friend has become rather meaningless. If Facebook is to be believed most of the people you knew in high school were your friends.

Yeah, but some of them still haven't moved any further and all still hang out together.
 
Maybe, not something I'm ready to answer without second guessing myself.
 
I'm a black sheep and my dearest friends (inner circle) which I love are black sheep as well.
 
No, I don't love my friends.


... I'm in love with them. :atp:
 
If by the end of your life, you can count 5 'real' friends who have stuck with you every inch of the path of life, you are a lucky person...
