a conversation.

do you need to be appreciated to be a friend?

what do you mean?

will you only be a friend to someone if that someone appreciated you?

don't friends appreciate each other?

what if a friend doesn't appreciate you? do you stop being a friend?

what do you mean, appreciate?

maybe by thanking you, maybe by supporting you... you know. appreciate. make you feel that what you do did not go to waste.

friends would appreciate each other in the first place, otherwise they would not have been friends.

people do change...

i don't know. how about you?

don't know, that's why i asked you.

to be a friend you'd have to appreciate people, i guess.

yeah, but that's for you to be a friend. i'm talking about if that other person doesn't appreciate you, would you still be that person's friend? should you?

well... no? since that person doesn't appreciate you, then that person's not your friend, then.

he might not be my friend but should i be his?

is there a difference?

yes.

it does hurt, being friends with someone who doesn't appreciate you... majorly.

... be friends but not be that close?

that's hard. what if you have to spend a lot of time with that person? you can't help but be close.

is there even an answer to your question?

maybe.

would you still be my friend even if i don't appreciate the things you do for me?

well, yeah.

why?

... because... i do things for you... not because i want you to appreciate me. that'd be... well, a strange friendship. a rather selfish one. right?

haha, thanks.

what for?

for answering my question.
