Doesn't really matter if you like that person unless you have a valid point because you don't have
to be friends with that person plus you should trust your best friend enough to care about you and
the other person with out hurting anyone's feelings |

Best friends often have other friends that the other doesn't like. There is nothing wrong with this.
It is typical to not like another person butting into your best friend relationship, especially if
they have an attitude towards you or are trying to turn your best friend against you. Lots of times,
there is alot of competitiveness between friends for the best friend spot. This comes between alot
of new friendships. But, there is nothing saying that a person has to like who their best friend
likes. They can hang out with them seperate from you. |

Yes you are right we have no right to interfere in our friend and his/her best friend friendship. |

I so totally agree!
You don't have to be their friend if you don't want to. |

I totally agree. We are usually drawn to people with whom we have things in common. But in spite of
the similarities there are certain differences that make every individual unique. My best friend
makes friends readily but I don't, I take my time opening up and letting anyone inside the comfort
zone. As a result there are people that she's very friendly with but that I do not find myself
comfortable around and I see no point in pretending to be just as friendly with them as she is or to
really get to like them as much as she does. People are different, I bet she doesn't like some of
the people I like to chat with every now and then, and I totally understand that. If you understand
your friend, then you should let them do what hey like and not push them to bend their will to your
liking. I think the great thing about friendships just this that you may be divided about certain
things but you acknowledge the differences and respect your friend's individuality and at the same
time maintain yours, without letting the differences affect your friendship. |

Great Example.
My best friend rocnk14 has these friends I'm not very fond of and they probably don't like me
either. I don't want to hurt her feelings so I respect her friends even though they don't really
care for me.
Your not forced to but at least be nice and show some respect. |

Friendship between two individual is a very sensitive and tender issue. Not anyone can be a friend
to another as their should be a parity between the two who are being friends with each other. Often
we see that two different individuals become the best of friends with each other. The reason behind
this is they find their wavelengths matching. But it is again not hard and fast that those two
individuals will also become the best of friends with others and the reason is as same as that they
may not have their wavelengths matching. Similarly when we are friends with someone and we find he
or she is having a best friend besides us then it is not compulsory to have friendship with that
third person. We may not feel like being a friend to our friend’s best friend. |

True friendship does not come with conditions. When old school friends part and enter different
colleges they make new friends there and the bond that they share with their new friends is
obviously very different from the bond that they shared with their school friends. It is not just
the level of understanding or trust that is different with different friends you also develop
friendship with different people because of varying interests. For example if I am interested in
arts my school friend may have been close to me because we shared the same passion for paintings and
sculptures but my new friend at college has the same taste in music that I do. Now my college friend
may not appreciate art at all yet we connect at a different level. So your friends should not be
forced to befriend every other friend that you have. |

If it were meant to be then would be friends...forcing a friendship is like beating a dead horse. |

I agree. You shouldn't have to make friends with your friend's other friends if you don't want to.
It may be good to try to get to know them, particularly if your friend hangs around with them a lot,
but if you really don't want to then that's your choice.
However, if a person does decide that they don't want to be friends with the people that their
friend hangs around with, they shouldn't attempt to get their friend to break friendships with those
people. You have to accept that your friend will build up friendships with people other than you.
Like Researcher said, if you can't get on with the people your friend hangs around with, then
arrangements should be made to see each other at separate times. It is more sensible to do this
otherwise it will cause arguments and lead to friendships being lost. |

I agree with this debate. No one can decide who you want to be friends with. Only you can decide who
your friends are. It is possible to be friends with someone who has another best friend. As long as
it does not affect your relationship, it should not matter who your friends are friends with. As the
old saying goes, "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold". But no.
Only you can decide who you want to be friends with. If your friend does not want to accept the fact
that you do not want to be friends with their other friends, then maybe that friend is not a real
friend after all. |

Yes, every one has rights to choose their own friends and should not force his or her friends to
others. |

Complicated one this as friendships can be confusing.
No you don't have to be friends with your best friends friends. You don't even have to see or go out
with them if you don't want to although it often happens that you do have to all meet up - at
parties for example.
Friendships are something that can be very complex and all sorts of emotions come into it.
You might find that you are jealous of your best friends other relationships and this can lead to
rivalry and disagreements. Sometimes it can end friendships.
Friendship should be without conditions and everyone has a right to the friends of their choice
regardless of whether or not other people agree with their chosen friends. There's room for everyone
here. If you can't all get on, then see each other at different times and avoid situations that
might lead to tensions and all can work out very well. |

This is not really about being friends. It's about mutual respect. Today the meaning of true
friendship differs. However, if your best friend has a friend, then because I am so close to my
best friend I would wan to spend time with other person to figure out why my best friend likes this
person as their friend. One should try to put jealousy aside, and give mutual respect. If it is
found to be a healthy relationship, then there's not reason to be concerned. Now, as to the fact of
your best friend forcing you to be friends, well that is called selfishness. If you address those
concerns with your friend and let him or her know that you respect his or her decision to be friends
with whom ever her or she chooses, and let him or her know that but as for you, you feel as if
you're being forced to do something that you don't agree, then if your friend is really your friend,
then he or she should respect your wishes. It's all a respect thing. R-E-S-P-E-C-T In conclusion, I
would view it differently, not as if my friend is forcing me to be friends with her friend, but that
maybe she or he doesnt want me to feel left out, so I would go along with it, as long as I am
comfortable and respected. Because, best friends do share their love with more people than only U. |
