I think I can survive fairly without friends. Afterall, it's not new that I am left to my own devices. So, if I were to be sent to another country, I should be able to survive on my own. It's not the help that friends can provide; it's whether I need them or not.

I reckon I do not need friends. Sometimes I think Singaporeans can be the worse of friends. Friendship works in a very straight forward manner, like a transaction... You give something, and you'd get something back. Most of the time however, friendship works like getting the most of the transaction. Once the transaction closes, that's it; once they have made enough use of you, they don't need you anymore.

I'd rather do without and survive on my own than to depend on a bunch of half-hearted "friends".

Yes, I do have high expectations from friendships. If you can't give me a quality friendship, pls don't make friends with me. It would waste your time, it would waste mine.
