You don't have to go home.. but you can't stay here!


M: The Coolest thing about a friend circle is the fact that everyone gets along with everyone.The trust , the peer pressure of chugging down beer quicker than you can say schnitzengiggle like 12 twelve times.no worry bout going over you got your friends to help you out just in case you tizzle in the whizzle.but, what if you got that one person in your group that EVERYONE HATES.quoting the comedian Dane Cook is the "Douchebag of the group i understand that not everyone is perfect but, what happens when the personalities in the group don't fit in well?....what if that person in the group is not welcomed in your friend-space?..Most people hold their tongue to avoid irrelevant confrontations.Or wait till that friend (that was brought in by another friend) "grows" on you. W.T.F.?to that i say no way. In my personal experience there has been homeboys, rolldawgs, pana's, parceros etc. that I've chilled with and its all good...till that person ends up making some trouble somehow and i become an accomplice, an opportune moment with a fine beach bunny...ruined by the ever annoying attitude of his royal doucheness,or an unnecessary ruckus in a situation that could be resolved in a less brutal manner,hey let me borrow some of your stuff i wont return...... yo i don't even know this Moda foca... just cause he's in the group of the friends that are mine. Some people believe its RIVETING to meet someone new true....but, its a matter of time before you can only hold so much crap from one person that just doesn't fit. you might be saying "oh no M it can't be me?" well you know what?...YOU'RE the DOUCHE everyone hates!! ha ha ha!! DANE!!!....however i can't advise to be a total bitch,whore tramp,scumbag, asshole to that person but, if you feel that way just talk it out. things are usually resolved better talking it out.maybe that person might appreciate you telling them what you dislike about them. If telling them your dislikes about them doesn't work them " Foh dat mehn".......ya... ya para con esa mariconeria......

C: In my experience there are two different groups in every friendship circle; There is the core group (the ones who've known each other the longest and pretty much made the group, there are usually 3-4) and then the sub friends (the friends of the core group, not nearly as tight as the core group). As I have witnessed throughout my life the friendship circle is mostly a democracy, no one is in charge, and there are different designated roles for each person in the circle such as: Someone is always the driver, someone is always in charge of inviting the others, another person is always in charge of organizing the events, and so on and so forth. A successful friendship circle moves with the effortless ease of a jungle cat, every part of it coming together seamlessly without turbulence, pouncing on every adventure in almost one motion and then enjoying the fruits of their labors slowly savoring every triumph. I realize that you've probably never heard a friendship circle compared to a jungle cat but I feel as though it is one of the few animals that can make intricate movements with virtually no effort and I feel that in a well put together friendship circle anything is possible with minimal problems. And what are these problems of which I speak? I'll give you an example.. someone new comes into the group. Not that new people are unwelcome, but lets just face facts when something changes within a group of people things aren't going to move as fluently as they once did, after all, there is a whole nother person to account for now. Now lets say that not everyone gets along with this said new person.. I'm sure that most people would do what comes naturally for anyone to do and just tolerate it for as long as possible. I mean, just because one person doesn't get along with this person there is no reason to cause friction within the group. But how long before you say something? When is it ok for you to have an opinion when it goes against the group? In my opinion you should try and pretend or 'fake it' as I like to say until your life has been disturbed outside of group outings or if your dislike for this person has grown so much that you'd rather exclude yourself then be near them. Then its time to talk, to see if some resolution can be made. It is rare, in my experience, that your group would turn their backs on you for a new sub member but it can happen; You'd be surprised how novelty can effect even the most loyal of people. I suppose the only upper hand you can have at that point is if you're in the core group; Then your departing would dismember the entire group and the decent ones would probably follow you. (Bros before hoes) I wouldn't kick anyone out of the group... but if I was being shoved aside then I would leave one.

The truth of the matter is that we grow, we age and we move on. Some friends last a lifetime where others a season. Some seasons last a lot longer then others, but in the end it’s just a season. It is sad when someone who you thought was a dear friend suddenly starts pushing you aside for someone else whom they just met. I would assume that is liken to boyfriend cheating on you. What you need to remember is that sometimes we feel more strongly for people that don’t share the same feelings for us. We lie to ourselves in thinking that if we sincerely care for some one; they must care for us the same way. No one should love you more then you love yourself .If you are unhappy with the core of the circle because someone new has bashed his/her way in, then its up to you to voice your opinions. If your opinions are ignored then you need to be the one who makes the decision of whether to stay in core or perhaps make a different one. But, be sure of what you are doing it could be the ultimate demise of the circle as a whole.
