Is friendship important to you? How has friendship impacted your life?

I definitely agree with you. True friends are to be cherished. I honestly only have one but I wouldn't consider us best friends. I was bullied in high school and it's hard for me now. Every new friend I make I feel like i try alittle to hard. I have my husband and my son but some times you want alittle more girl time. I think its definitely important to Express yourself to someone I go about hectic when I feel alone. Loneliness is good for no one. 

Lee,

Friendship has been the second main key in my fight and treatment of Advanced Prostate Cancer with extensive bone metastasis Stage 4. The first being my relationship with The Lord. My wife, Cristy is my very best friend in life. She will not accept negativity in any form or fashion. Through my over 30 years of coaching and educating, I have many friends that has absolutely helped me heal during this time of my life. Friends are critical.

I have enough friends . I only have a few friends, but they keep me so busy that I sometimes wish I didn't have any friends. I work a lot of hours and don't get much time off. Sometimes I wish that my friends would leave me alone so I could get some of my work done. 

I only have 1 good friend that I talk to almost everyday. I would like more friends.she tries her best to help me but didn't know what to say to my bad panic attack yesterday when I told her about it.

@naturalremedygurl  LETS TRY TO BE FRIENDS THEN... I DONT REALLY HAVE ANY EITHER

Friendship use to be very important to me. But since I have been so sick that I have been able to work and going through trying to get on disability. I  don't trust anyone anymore.  since I can't work and can't pay rent I had what I thought were friends take me into their home only to steal everything I had be abusive then moved out and left me here. it so sad I am the type of person that has always help my friends but now that I need help not one person has did anything but take what little I had left. 

Good friends are hard to find. I've been fortunate to find several over the years. I'm not really a person who socializes a lot and I'm still learning to be able to ask friends for help. It is hard. I rely mostly on family and not so much on friends. I'm not at that comfort level yet. 

My family is finally adjusting to my needs. At first I just wouldn't ask, I'd suffer instead. Then I slowly started asking and would get mixed reactions. Now I find it easier and my family even ask me now if they can do anything for me which is really nice instead of having to ask them all the time.

Lately I've also noticed a big increase in the general public asking if I need help with a door, or carrying something. People also give me smiles more often than ignoreing me when out in public. I think public awareness is definitely getting better for people with disabilities.

I wish you all God's blessings of friends and family in your journey of life.

I've mostly always just had my family and Stake and Ward for friends since I was just a kid. But if you ask me as long as you have someone fighting by your side whether friends or family all that matters is that they're there fighting by your side. 

Friendships are important, that’s if they are true friends. I feel like you have aquaintces and then you have your true friends. Friends you can tell anything too, and know they’ll always be by your side. It’s important to find those people in your life. Life isn’t always easy, sometimes you need a trusting ear to let them know what’s going on. 

Being the introvert, that I am, I have a few close friends 1-2, and my 3 brothers and 3 sisters.  No I don’t hide my conditions from them, we talk about it, if and when it is needed, otherwise I just continue to live my life as I wish.

i am very lucky that my major medical issues are at mild stages right now, though fully aware that flares are to be expected, and one medical issue dealing with my lungs is considered chronic and fatal, it is just a matter of time.  So I live as fully as possible now

with the help of friends and family
