The question...
Why does open communication fly out the window so easily in so many relationships? platonic/other
Here's the scenario
There are two single friends of the opposite gender in a TOTALLY platonic relationship.
Friend #1 has self esteem issues from mistreatment/failed relationships in the past.
Friend #2 easy-going, fun, sympathetic, nurturing, and self sufficient.
So friend number two tries to be a good friend to #1, concluding that #1 is such a great person and deserved so much more than the illtreatment experienced in the past.
Somewhere along the way Friend #1 gets a swelled head and thinks #2 has more interest than just friendship, and gets FUNKY & distant.
*wouldn't be suprised if NOBODY knows the answer to this.
the question is: is #2 really just looking for friendship in #1 or has #2 just not realized he/she likes the other more than just a friend and #1 is picking up on that?
Not at all, #2 is the kind of person that will cry for their friends happniess (any of the friends they have).
For #2 if their friends are miserable, #2 cannot be happy knowing they're miserable. Just the kind of person #2 is very lending, no alterior motive.
maybe friend #1 took your comfort the wrong way...
which way are you thinking?? My mind is going that way but I'm not coming up with anything.
ok number 2 stop asking questions
