H.W 52- Initial Theories of Human Relationships

So i guess ill start with what i believe when it comes to human relationships. When it comes to the way people act, i honestly dont get it. I guess it goes all the way back to how we are raised, I for one, was raised to have self respect as well as respect for others, to be able to defend my self when needed but to be reserved , something i guess i do well , being shy and all lol. With that being said, self respect is something that is needed when dealing with all these kinds of relationships , be it love, friendship, family etc the only problem is that i have noticed that when it comes to many of these relationships many, many people dont have this. They seem to not care if they have a ¨bad ¨image such as screaming, not talking, about their drunk days , constant parties and sleeping with many people, sure you can do these things if you want, but why make it so public, i believe that is one example of not having self respect, why would i want people to see me and know me with these negative images ? This goes back to a question ive been thinking about : why do we act this way? Why does it seem like now the most important thing for our images is the number of parties we have been to and things along those lines.

When it come sto friendship , a good friend is someone who is there for you always, someone who even though they might not understand you , they will try to help you, this person has to make you feel comfertable and as though you can trust them with anything. I think choosing friends has to be a ¨procees¨ one can say of choosing people that seem to be like you , or can rekate to you. All my life i have never been one to have more than 10 good friends, and im happy about that. These people are the true people i know will always be there for me and thats important. I dont think its important to have a HUGE group of friends , in my case in school i have 3 close friends and i believe that to be perfect, i dont see why i must show off the amount of people that like me like most do. Once again why is that ? Why do we feel this sence of power when we are surrounded by many people? I guess we can say that thereason we like showing off number is like money the more yiou have the better you are. The more friends you have the more people will think you are cool , i guess.

Acting towards other people should be once again , with some sence of respect. Im not saying you should be all formal with your friends etc but you should have some kind off respect towards them , and anyone. Many people seem not to have this, we see constant bullying, we see constant mockery , arguing, fights, things that make absolutely no sence, but bring people attention. Attention i think is what many people seek when it comes to human relationships, i think everyone wants this, some make it so much more obvious than others, as i bet many of us have seen in S.O.F while others do it in a less noticible way , just with there group of friends or family, not the whole audience in front of them.

From friends also comes the idea of love. When it comes to this part of human relationships once again i believe self respect and respect for the other person. I dont think a relationship can work without any of these. Loyalty and trust also must go. When it comes to relationships i dont see the point in messing around with other peoples feelings, making people think you like them, going out with someone you know you wont be with for more than a week, whats the point? Why not be with someone , or find someone that you know will make you happy and you know will love you? Why settle for a one night stand, or for being used by this person?

These small thoughts on the topics i guess are more things i live by, the way i believe some things should be , and what i have been taught. With that being said our life is always going to be hving to deal with some sort of relationships so its something that we need to know how to do, im not saying the way i do things is the way that is one hundred percent right, but its the way that has worked for me and has made me happy with myself.
