When I joined Facebook the first thing Jacob did was throw a picture of me on the page.  Now, he knows I hate pictures of myself and I had asked him not to do it.  As always we fought about it for about 20 minutes and then the picture was removed.  Because I think he respects me and likes me as a friend I think to myself he won’t do it again.  Low and behold I pull up the page tonight and there is another picture of me again (one that I find not flattering at all). 

Of course I’m furious not only because I hate the picture, but more so because he did it to me again.  When I call him instead of just taking the picture off he has to throw out to me that I’m a “control freak”.  Not cool.

When you have friends and they have issues, despite what those issues are you are supposed to respect those issues.  If they have a fear of frogs you certainly wouldn’t stick a frog in their backpack now would you?  If they decide to confess their undying love to someone and you KNOW it’s ridiculous and you tell them, BUT they do it anyway would you be there to clean up the mess?  Yes you would.  Friends do and respect what needs to be done.  They don’t tease, mess with and humiliate them in front of others knowing it will go against their friends insecurities. 

If you don’t have any insecurities or feelings in your soul then that is good for you, but friends respect and treat friends as they should and in return they get it back no matter what.  When the chips are down that person will be there no matter what.  You have to ask yourself, “Would you take this person to battle?”  If the answer is hands down yes then this person is your true friend.  If you falter with your answer then they probably aren’t your true friend.  I have a close circle of friends for this reason so I can try to be a true friend.  I have acquaintances, but true friends are hard to find and when you do I try to hold on to them.

I don’t do things that they don’t like or purposely try to aggravate them.  I am not a control freak for not wanting something personal of me out there posted to the world.  Last time I checked this was my business, not someone else’s choice.

Sorry Jacob, I don’t agree.
