Once friends are strangers now !

Its a stolen phrase ! It really made sense to me when a friend of mine just spoke out his heart when we were having a casual talk. This paradox may sound weird but that's what I realized, I have been witnessing in my real life. There are usually lots of instances in once life where a person who was ur dearest buddy and with whom you used to share anything and every thing is a "stranger" now. How strange ? isn't it !
Most of the time this happens mostly because of ego clash, lack of trust and not being frank with the person in any relationship. The better way to avoid such things is by letting go your ego and not making hasty conclusions. The most important thing in any relationship is trust, never let it get weaken in your relationship.
One has to be careful before they speak out each and every word, it means a lot in a relationship. You can't take anyone for granted, one unintended word may break a relationship (trust me , its my experience). If he or she has botched up, please allow the person to explain (listen to the person). Most of them don't intend to do that, it would be your misinterpretation or misconception !
I am witnessing a similar situation, presently not even getting an opportunity to confess the unintentionally mistake which was committed by me. I feel its better to avoid these things, they cost you a lot at later stage. Umh now can you understand the paradox "Once friend is a stranger" to me. A small mistake sometimes can get complex........very complex..! wht you say ????

Agree. Specially where u say that the other person should be given a chance to explain, since most of the times its a misinterpretation on our parts. Have experienced it.

one finds this happening very often these days. probably most of us have lost the patience to listen to the others point of view in this age and time

Hmm, interesting article! well, the question is how intimate is a stranger and how alien is a friend? Or for that matter, if the friend happens to be a starnger, does he cease to be a friend? For us to have good thoughts for him, is he obligated to open up? Well, I have no answers though! But, these add a new dimension, don't they?
