New Career: Full-time Bestfriend

Sa sobrang interest ko in knowing more about myself, I've read books and answered some sets of questionnaire. I found out that my strength is the supportive character I have. Sabi doon sa isang material, I am loyal, supportive and friendly.  Good listener daw ako at very reliable. Sabi naman sa isang book, I tend to be very accepting, accommodating, conflict-"avoider", and a relationship-builder. According naman sa isa, I am a good talker and I communicate well (I don't generally believe in this statement). All, aside in the last statement, really talks about almost who I am. Kung isa-sumarize, pupuwedeng i-conclude na I am a good friend. (naks! pinagpala ang mga kaibigan ko dahil meron silang kaibigang tulad ko.. haha)
But hindi lang sa ganoon ako natapos sa pag-discover ko sa sarili ko. I want to test if those materials and books are not lying to me. Gusto ring masubukan kung tama ang perspective ko sa sarili ko. Hindi naman ako binigo ng pagkakataon. Nalapit ako sa mga tao, sa iba't ibang tao.
It's been a problem to me to initiate a connection between me and stranger pero once communication is established it is easier for me to build a memorable relationship with that new acquaintance. Ewan ko ba! Basta ganoon talaga ako. I am sociable but most the time a loner. I am an introvert, but I love building deeper relationship with others. I always want others to sense that they are a big part of my life and I always hope that they do the same. I can also mingle with different person. I like including them in my circle of friends, not allowing them to feel left behind or out of place. I always consider everyone to be really connected to each other like we are all holding on the same long rope. I give value to friendships and treat every friend significant. I always see to it that I do that. Kaya nga totally disappointed and frustrated ako noong may isa akong friend, na itinuring kong bestfriend and a very close brother, ang biglang hindi ako pansinin. 'Yung tipong na-amnesia siya na magkakilala kami. I really saddens me. Pero as the book had said, I'll still accept him just as how I accepted him before. Para sa akin bestfriend ko pa rin siya.
Faithful and loyal. Itanong nyo na lang siguro sa mga old friends ko if totoo iyon. Pero I keep to be loyal and faithful to every thing I'm in, kahit na sa kung ano mang relationship. Well, bakit nga ba naisusulat ko ang mga ito? Well, maybe because this is the strength that I am so much proud to have.
Lately, I have this officemates that became so dear to me. Alam ko rin namang naging friend na rin ang tingin nila sa akin. I became open to them and they eventually open up themselves to me. Nakatulong ang pagiging goosd listener ko. I listen and give them advice. I joke with them. Acted sarcastic, caring, brotherly, harsh and friendly. Ang sarap ng ganito. Not to mention pa ang mga freebies ng pagiging "bestfriend". (haha)
Now I can say that I have a new career. I am now, and I have been, a full-time bestfriend ng bayan.(haha)
