You're my friend, not their friend
I recall, as probably many of you can, those uncomfortable moments when you are growing up where you make choices or choices are made for you -- regarding whose friend you are going to be, and whose you will not be
It can be a very pressurized situation with very awkward results, as you realize that the "friend(s)" you chose, were not really the right friends to choose after all. Or maybe some of these "friend(s)" gave you an ultimatum, and you just went along. And, like in bad 80s teen movies, you realize that that really wasn't the right choice after all
When you are older, these things seem to fade in importance, as you realize that you can make your own choices, somewhat free of coercion ... or does it, really?
