I am glad that the trip was cancelled as a result. I was not feeling well.
Recently, there was one incident that I was not particularly interested in, so I was sitting on the sidelines and a third party said to me, “You are her friend, aren’t you?” I received a rather harsh rebuke.
However, I did not consider that person a friend or acquaintance. Rather, I had never really defined “friend” in the first place. I don’t have the concept of “because we are friends.
Some people might be able to say, “This is what a friend is. I am sure there are some people who can say, “That’s what a friend is. But I cannot say it, and I don’t even know what it is.
Many people in the world are sensitive to the word “friend. This is evidenced by the fact that there are many books lined up in bookstores that offer a variety of views on the subject, ranging from “It’s natural to not have any friends,” to “Having just one best friend is enough,” to “The number of friends you have determines your life,” to “Friend supremacy.
However, as far as I am concerned, I don’t need to have friends, and I don’t mind having many friends. It depends on your environment, and it also depends on the time of your life. When I was in junior high school, I didn’t have a single friend, but when I was a working adult who had just started working, I had many friends. And now, from the other end of the spectrum, I am sure that I am less than a person.
In the end, it doesn’t matter whether I have friends or not. It is enough if I am comfortable with them.
It becomes difficult when you define the word “friend” in a strange way. We are bound by the word “friend.
In the first place, people change. It’s hard when you always define someone as a “friend. It’s like, “We’re friends, aren’t we?” Or, “I haven’t been hanging out with you lately,” or “I don’t hang out with you.
And even among men, there is a surprising amount of jealousy. We’re friends, aren’t we? or “I’ll quit being your friend if you go out with him,” or conversely, “You’ve been hanging out with him a lot lately, haven’t you? On the other hand, “You’ve been hanging out with him a lot lately, haven’t you? There are even people who, at a certain age, take pleasure in boasting about their friends and drawing a correlation chart of their friends.
If you think of the world of Mr. Garcie, you may get some idea of what I mean.
It doesn’t matter if the person you hit it off with is, after all, a playmate, a mere acquaintance, or just someone you happen to hang out with. To take it to the extreme, you could have your father as a playmate, or your wife as your best friend. More to the point, it could even be someone who has passed away, Osamu Dazai or Hideo Kobayashi.
It would take an entire book just to define what love is, and there is no way that friendship can be defined so easily. Besides, I don’t think it’s logical to make dating someone a criterion (if you read ONE PIECE, you’ll have some idea of the subtleties of the situation).
There are cases of one-day friendship, just as there are cases of love that ends in an instant, and there are cases of deep affection that lasts until death.
Well, for me, it is enough to have even one person, regardless of gender or age, with whom I “feel comfortable and can talk about anything. I don’t want zero, because it’s still lonely.
