Are friends liabilities?

Post #1

Another regurgitated offering:

How should people view friends? In an equitable manner with efficacious quid pro quo expectations? Some friends can be viewed as 'high maintenance' due to their overbearing need to control that friendship. What should one do in having such a relationship with another?

I do not allow anyone to control a friendship with me -- period -- nor do I control. If a friendship develops in balance, fine. If not, fine.

If a friendship has developed in balance and someone attempts to take control, they have diminished the value of the relationship -- and if continued will end it.
