Friendly - Friend

In my grade school and early high school life, I was a quiet and weird person. It's like I have my own world. I am a loner by nature and I can easily adjust from having someone to be with always to having nobody at all. Luckily this changed after I attended the PMT - Officers Training Course to become a PMT Officer. It gave me enough exposure to gain the current confidence and PR that I have today. Good thing I didn't gave up on the first day where I had to jog 3km to our training area from our school. It was a good decision indeed.

Since then, it was easy for me to get acquainted to almost anybody. I have the charisma of getting to know people too easy. I can almost start a conversation from any type of situation and know that person in a jiff. I guess it was a talent of mine for being too friendly to almost anyone. I will not deny it but I am fond of befriending people from the opposite sex. I find talking to girls more enjoying than my own. I guess this is because of my past experiences during high school.

Being too friendly has its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages:

• Many Friends. You have the opportunity to have many friends as much as you like
• Be free of boredom. Everywhere you go, you can talk to someone and amuse yourself in times of boredom
• Marketing Strategy. You have the opportunity to have many connections for business and career opportunities
• Love interest. You may even find the one who you can be with for the rest of your life
  

Disadvantages:

• Some rejection will quite annoy you. There was a time when I tried to acquaint myself to a girl also waiting for the dentist. I tried to start a conversation with her but it seems that she does not want to talk to me at all as if I was interested with her. After a while I stopped trying because I did not want to force myself on a loosing match.
• Fall in love too easily. If you are too friendly, sometimes you lose yourself in the way and fall in love with your friend. This can be a good sign if you are single but bad if you are not.
• False competition. If ever you have a close friend in a current relationship, you might get in trouble if you get too close. So you must define your limits.

Anyway I have learned my lesson, and right now I am always trying to define my limits whenever I came to know a person. I set boundaries depending on the situation. And let my friends feel their importance, love and care always.
