Investments

Throughout with my friendship with my best friend Alex we have made many investments in our friendship. Alex and i have been best friends for about four years now and I think its because of how well we communicate. While first meeting Alex she was very open about how we had another common relationship with another friend. We built our friendship from this friend and ever since then its been a roller-coaster ride. We have built trust through a couple of incidents. For example, one night I felt like she was really out of place on how she was treating me so i left the event we were at. I told her that i was upset with her and i would speak to her later. We then discussed things that i was upset with, and in return the things she was upset with. This form of communication has been so helpful throughout our friendship. The fact that we are able to sit down and openly discuss our problems is something that a lot of friendships do not have. We both also support each other very well. I love my best friend, and i hope we remain friends for a very long time.

    It was nice looking at Alex and your friendship. It sounded similar to my friendship experience with my best friend. I personally communicating openly is the key for a successful friendship because whenever I am angry or my friend is angry we let each other know so that no more issues are created, After that we tend to talk to each other and resolve out the issues. Most of the time this has helped me gain his trust and he gained mine trust. We always recognize each others feelings and go on. As a result, I can just say that we all should practice open minded communication so we are able to communicate more effectively.

  2. Hey Lauren, I really enjoyed reading your post this week. The relationship you have with Alex sounds like a strong open relationship. My best friend and I have had plenty of fights. When something goes bad we really don’t talk it out and that makes it worse. My best friend and I just try and forget about the negative and move on. The incident where you left Alex because she was out of place sounds like an incident my best friend and I had. One time at a party she was really drunk and making me upset. I had my boyfriend pick me up and I called her the next morning to tell her what happened the night before. Everything was resolved and we are still best friends.
