Worse than a buddy whose only gift is the gift of taking from you is that fairweather friend whose obsession with his/her interest has escalated his/her indifference to a state of tragedy. I mean the type of acquaintance who even though you're emotionally pressured and he/she knows it, will pressure you even more, mostly with his/her own problems, like you don't have enough already.
You know, that type of friend who'll rudely interrupt your needed complain just to ask for a spare sheet of rizla... with a friend like that, man, you don't need an enemy.
A friend whose friendship sees beyond personal interest will listen to you not only when times are good. He/she will tolerate your feelings of annoyance and occasional rants, without demonising your character, because he/she knows you to be better than that. He/she will ask if you want to talk about it, call out others who try to bother you, like: "hey, go easy on him, he's been under a lot of stress." May we be and be blessed with friends like that; it can prevent a lot.
