A 'friend' does not try to guilt you, and lay blame at your feet for other people's accidents, and/or actions.
A 'friend' doesn't fail to take responsibility for their actions.
A 'friend' respects you, and does not invade your private space when space has been requested.
A 'friend' who truly loves you, and cares for you, does not discuss your private details with others without your consent, especially with those they know are NOT your friends. They also do not belittle projects that someone has poured their heart and soul into, and definitely not in public!
A 'friend' stands beside you, behind you, and supports you with care.
Everyone is free to pick and choose their friends, that is a given. They are also free to defriend whom they wish to, when they wish to do so, and are not required to answer, explain, etc., to anyone!
Anyone applying pressure to a person who has chosen to defriend someone for private reasons is on my shit list.
If anyone does not like this post, they can defriend me now, (for God's sake PLEASE DO!!), because I have had it with the continual harassment some of my dear friends have faced, and are still facing. ^^
Some of my friends are under immense pressure right now, and the last thing they need is someone trying to lay guilt on them for other people's feelings, actions, etc.
When someone requests that they be left alone, not contacted any further, etc., that means just that: DO NOT CONTACT THEM AGAIN. No mails, emails, voicemails, calls, text messages, videos, etc., NO CONTACT WHATSOEVER!!! When someone does not wish to be your friend any longer, THAT is the end of the story, PERIOD!
