If your friendships are going to last a long time,you simply have to accept that things will always change.But never fear. 1 Here is a little of their advice.
Start with the friendship triangle.
Shasta Nelson is a friendship expert who gives a concept called the “friendship triangle”. 2 Anyway,the base is positivity,and two sides of the triangle are consistency (一致性) and vulnerability (脆弱性).If your friendship has something wrong,it’s much easier to see what is off balance and adjust in time.
Figure out what you value.
Another helpful tool comes from Rachel Wilkerson Miller.Wilkerson Miller recommends looking at friendships through your TME — time,money and energy.“Those are your most valuable resources,” she says.“Think about where your TME is going,how you’re spending it and who you’re giving it to.” 3
Don’t be afraid to ask for things.
4 Being direct can feel awkward,but if you get in the habit of stating your needs,you can avoid a pile of hate much later on.“Ask for exactly what you need,”Havrilesky,a famous writer,says,“sometimes it can work like medicine.So ask!”
5 During long life,you go through a lot of different versions of yourself.That can mean that sometimes,a friend is only present for a certain chapter—and that is OK.
A.Not every friend is going to be there forever.
B.We offer some advice from experts to help you deal with the shifts in your friendship.
C.Friendship is like a ship to carry you further.
D.The friendship triangle is made of three equally long sides.
E.If you waste these resources,it might be time to shift the relationship.
F.You should get comfortable asking for what you need.
G.The expert recommends being clear when your friendship is no longer the same.

When I was about 12,I had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.Week by week her list grew:I was very thin.I wasn’t a good student.I talked too much.I was too proud,and so on.I tried to hear all this as long as I could.At last,I became very angry.I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly,and then he asked,“Are the things she says true or not Janet,didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like Well,you now have that girl’s opinion.Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me.To my great surprise,I discovered that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin),but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change.For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself.But you have to learn to listen,not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt.When something said about you is true,you’ll find it will be of help to you.Our world is full of people who think they know your duty.Don’t shut your ears.Listen to them all,but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments.In my life,I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

It was summer when I was asked whether I wanted to go to Malibu(an island in Canada)with my church to serve the military families.At first,I heard this and thought,“You are asking an eleven-year-old in his last weeks of summer if he wants to go on a trip with his mom to Canada to serve other people ” Of course,I responded with a kind refusal,but my mom found a way to convince me to go.
When we were on the ferry to the island,a thousand thoughts were running through my head,such as “What am I going to do here ”“Am I even going to be useful ” and “Why am I even here ” When we got to the island,I was asked to do the childcare.I was actually somewhat excited because my friend said he would help me.The first time I met the kids,I got to know them pretty well.They were all between the ages of four and six.Some of them stayed behaved and a few of them started acting crazy and would even hit and push the other kids.
With those kids,I was very strict,but I still tried to be positive and keep a smile.After all,they were just innocent kids.In most of the time,I needed to help them with things like washing clothes,and setting tables.Even though it sounded dull,I enjoyed every second of it.One of the things I did in my free time was to play pool(打台球).I made friends with a few kids there.They were really easy to talk to.Some of the things we talked about were sports,food,video games,and most of all pool.
Even though I was only at Malibu,Canada for one week,I feel like I made spiritual changes in some people’s life.You don’t have to go above and beyond to have an influence on someone’s life.In the end,it all comes down to what way you changed them.It could have been in a spiritual way or a mental way as long as you had a positive effect.So go out and try to make a difference in this world.
