Yeah, those questions and what they're related to really interest me. I think its interesting how relationships can be built off of some really negative places and insecurities. But ultimately you're still friends, right? I think friendships great no matter where it comes from. Probably not always healthy though.
Well the questions were based off of the relationship between two Persona 4 characters, Chie and Yukiko.
They have a kinda ****ed up relationship at the start of the game where they're really only using each other as outlets for their own issues. But the whole thing (and whole game really) is about the parts of yourself that are ****ed up that you don't want to acknowledge or have anyone see. Looking back on myself, I've had friends where I've hung out with them to stroke my own ego. I was very socially awkward so when I became more confident it made me feel better to hang out with someone worse off than me. I think if people honestly looked at some of their relationships and world views it would be apparent that they come from really dark places sometimes.

You like to believe it's "nah", you mean. If you really look at any relationship, ther a negative qualities sprinkled all over. I don't think a single completely positive relationship ever existed.

I guess there have been times where my friends and I have gotten drunk together and comiserated, but I can't recall ever thinking 'ha, **** you!' when something bad befall them.
This is of course discounting amusing mishaps and injuries while partying/horsing around.
