[quote=Anonymous]I think all it did for me was to be able to not need friends if they weren't helpful or fun, and to be able to call bs on bad relationships sooner.

I never had that "o no I need to repair this or find a way to forgive you or ignore your jerkishness" thing that I see a lot of my friends have.  I never had that "let's pound this into the ground by discussing it to death" thing. If a person was a jerk I'd say my piece, not engage and end it. I've never collected frenemies- I cherish respectful honesty and if I don't get it, I don't play the game.

I also respected that my parents not once ever made me hang out or put up with a kid I didn't like because of any relationship they had with that kids parent. I saw a lot of friends who "had to" spend time with other kids they hated and it made them upset at their parents. I always respected and dug that my parents weren't sell outs.

But that may have been the atheism that enabled me to not put up with bs either. Hard to say.[/quote]
