I know many of you will understand. My "friend" never gossips, lies or betrays me, never hurts me unless I'm guiding this "friend" exactly how to hurt me.
yes a good "friend"

Fuzzy, it's good you have such a good friend. I'm glad for you most people here aren't that lucky.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you put "friend" in quotations because it's really a metaphor for something more closely aligned with Self Injury? That is my sense anyway.

Please take care.

Hi Fuzzy, all kinds of different "friends" out there and if this one at times does for you what absolutely nothing/no-one can do...........just maybe turn that way as little as you can and try not to let that "friend" hurt you "too much", hey??
But I would say that you so deserve friends that aren't going to hurt (and true friends shouldn't hurt), and friends that take away the/any pain as much as they possibly can, and allow you to "breathe again".
I so hope that you've got some friends like that to turn to, who could gradually take the place of the one you feel you need right now, but if not, please let us try to fill that gap.
Here's to friends who are better than "good"!!
Alison

P.S Really hope I'm interpreting your thread the way it's meant!!

Sorry about that Fuzzybear, I sort of feel the same way about a friend of mine right now.

Hi Fuzzy,
Been thinking about you lately...
You know my T, who is also a soecial friend reminds me that all 'friends' are not equal. I can share more of myseld, my attentiin, my time and my affections with some more thsn others. Which ones are trustworthy, keep confidences, are there when I need them, and want me to be the best that I can be...those are the ones I want to be with the most. Others are more acquaintances, or even maybe those I cannot trust and with whom I shouldn't share much with or spend much time with.
Maybe you could think about those in your life that you really want to spend your time and energy and trust with...
Just a thought. Those that have big hearts and are more sensitive to emotions find this to be a harder distinction to make. And you have a VERY big heart and never want to hurt others. But you also sometimes have to work a little harder at protecting your gifts.
Huggles,
WB
