"I think it would also depend on how long you had been friends for. Also, how open you are to criticism in general. Sometimes you just need someone else to say what you are thinking to give you that kick you need. " Oh hell yeah, I've got a couple of these sort of friends they're awesome | |||

"We'd be friends for life because I greatly value honesty. I don't call many people true friends (I have lots of acquaintances), but those I do tend to be the people that tell me when I'm being an arsehole " You're being an arsehole | |||

"Probably a long time. I can be really kind and I make myself laugh a lot. And I'm harsh at times but with love and that reminds me of Incandescent who I adore. I'd probably tell myself to be quiet/ignore me a bit when I'm anxiety spiralling. So yeah, I'd be friends with me. Just mute myself occasionally. " I'm a bit overly critical of myself at times. And most definitely need someone to tell me when I'm being an arse to myself | |||

"My best friends are as blunt and straight talking as me and I value their opinions, wishy washy I'm not sure answers are the ones that infuriate me" That thing you asked me to do? Yeah, not sure really. I might be keen but then again ... how safe did you say it was? Sure, really? Hmmmm I'll think about it a bit more ... | |||

"Was talking to a friend earlier, who said they give good advice though they rarely take their own. Which I'm guilty of too, so I realised I'm my own harshest critic. If you had a friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would allow this person to be your friend? Im so guilty of this. And has led me to seeking counselling, before now. I'd never berate a friend to the extent I silently punish myself. I wish I could stop as it's just insidious. I think it stems from never feeling good enough. But I'm slowly learning to silent that voice and love myself x " | |||

" I'm happy with criticism regardless of content, just how its delivered? They say friends talk to you, not about you. My answer? I'd probably slap them when I'm tired but accept their brutal honesty as I know why its being said." That's a good way to be, got to cherish those kind of friends | |||

"If they are a friend of expect them to call me out on things - perhaps give me some harsh truths. That kind of friendship is rare and I'd keep it for as long as I could " Me too | |||

My counsellor used to make me visualise me saying those things to myself as a young girl. That brought it home. But yes, learning to love and accept yourself is hard. But you seem lovely & amazingly kind xx | |||

"If they were a friend then I'd expect to be called out if my behaviour warranted it. As I would them!" Always has to be a two way street with friendship | |||
