Staying together

There is a chinese saying that "It;s easier to meet than to stay with each other" to those who have experience the life of staying outside your own home, under a roof that doesn't not belong to you would understand the meaning behind those words. But sometimes the matter is made worse when you are staying with a bunch of your OWN frens.

I'm staying with a few of my friends and ... ... ... well its not easy, its not like if u stay with a bunch of strangers where u can really let out small tantrums and point out things when u are unhappy about something and people tends to understand and try to comply; with friends its kinda hard to tell them upfront "Hey, u got a big problem. Do you know that u ... ... ..." well its just not that simple.

Another thing is that we tend to quarrel a lot... mostly about small petty matters that dun even make senses. It is just us or does this happens to everyone? Sometimes i kinda ency those staying with strangers. At least when they are unhappy with their housemates they can always complain to their friends, but how do u complain to your friends about your housemates when your housemates are their friends too? Hahaha... headache, headache...

But there is a good side to staying with your friends. U can do a lot of crazy stuff coz basically we are from the same background, crazy, idiotic, mad, u name it we "should" have it. Wat i wanna say is that we are in sync in a lot of things so it is easier i guess. Yet again, how do you say no to a friend? Sigh~~ Lost of countless sleepless nights coz i can't say no....

This brought me to another thought, i wonder how about those who stay with their other half? How do you stay with your boyfriend/girlfriend and still maintain a good relationship? I mean wat do you do after both of you quarrel? Where do you go hide and let out your problems? Haha... big question indeed...

well, wat u mentioned about the chinese saying is not 100% true for everyone. It's not about staying with frens or strangers tat ppl will face this kinda probs.

When it involves human relation, there bound to be all this kinda problems that might indirectly causes stress!

Anyway, I've gone through it like everyone of u, but one thing I can do better thn most of u out there is...I KNOW HOW TO SAY NO (when it's time for me to say NO)!

To me, there is no such thing as No to a close fren, or No to a stranger. If I think it's not right, even if it's my parents...I'll still say NO!

You cannot keep living in the "Mr Nice Guy" shadow pal! Coz at the end of the day, u'll be the only one suffering & ppl still enjoy life =)
