[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clear contradiction in what you're getting at:  You want them to be strong enough to not be jealous of you...but then you say you must maintain strength to keep their respect.  Could it be you are trying too hard?  Can't you just be flawed and let them be flawed...and maybe laugh about it?

I think the OP is saying that he/she accepts that her friends are flawed people, but accepting it doesn't mean you can stop protecting yourself from it.

And I agree, actually. My friends and I DO laugh at our flaws and I'm very comfortable with them knowing my flaws, and myself knowing their flaws, and knowing we all accept each other for it. I too have very close, good friendships with good, mature people. But it'd be stupid for me to say that the possibility of getting hurt doesn't exist; that a good friend might not experience something in their lives (internally or externally) that will change the dynamic, or that will bring to the fore any of those controlled insecurities that the OP was talking about. We fall deeply in love with people, marry them, and then most of us get hurt and even get divorced. But our spouses were, for the most part, still good, mature people. Same with friendships.
