What is the most important thing for you
Does self preservation come before all?
Do your friends come first?
Does your family come first?
after you say which one you choose
Explain your reasoning
why your choice is most important?
i choose self preservation above all.
who else do you have left when your friends are gone?
and could you always expect your friends to back you up in a fight?
Family comes first. It is a boring and sterile life when all you care about is self-preservation imo.

Having fun.
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Of course family and friends are important as well, but doesn't charity begin at home first? (Or rather at yourself?)
It's not like I hadn't good friends I care about -in fact, I sh*t care and love my friends/family-, but this appears more evident to me.
smurf. YES.Quote:

My daughter comes first and above all. My self preservation comes after that, and my husband's well being as well. Then comes everything else.
What's important? Trust. Not enough going around.

Myself, probably. But if I can see a way to save both myself and people I care about, I probably would take it even if it put me at a significant risk. An obvious suicide to save someone else however, that's not my thing.
I tend to put others ahead of myself. I used to do it to such a high degree that I actually neglected my own well being and that was pretty dodgy. But I feel like, if I can help a bunch of people then hopefully they'll continue etc. There was a movie about it but the name escapes me. Oh wait, it's called Pay It Forward. Yeah, I try to do that. So far not much good luck has come back to me, but that's okay, I've seen evidence that my work is helping people so I'm good ^_^
Tacos! Just kidding, sort of. I prioritize having fun above all else. I won't do anything that's boring and if I get bored I'll just leave. Or try and make it fun.
Oh I so totally understand. Before I had my kid I didn't have any strong family ties either, and I'm still distant from my family, outside of my very immediate three-person ring.Quote:

No judging here.

my sister is the exact opposite.
she keeps pawning her son off on other people.:(
the only person i am close to is probably my nephew. who sadly enough is only 2 years of age.
i have a few good friends. but i wouldn't call myself devoted to them.
a lot of people tend to think that I'm emotionally distant. Antisocial i suppose. which i usually try to stay distant i hate pouring my heart out to people.
Truth.
Family, friends... your relationships with these people are what you precive them to be.
The friends you choose, the things you do, all based on what you believe. You may be right, or when it counts most you could find out you were very wrong. Some people even try to ignor or avoid things because they want to keep trusting some one. But if the truth is they can't, whatever they tell themselves won't change it. Me, I'd rather know even if it breaks up the relationship. Even if the other peson believes as much as you do, but when it matters most people dont always act as they believe they will. Wheather its knowing for sure that you really can't/couldn't trust some one, or finding out that you could after all, when theres no room for dout either way, thats something to value. Sometimes the one you can count on the most is the one you'd expect the least. Truth is a rare, valuable thing, and it can change everything.
(sorry if this all doesn't flow together well spelling, ect., in a hurry and had to rush near the end)
The most important thing to me is my Mr Booga and my friends, they are a second family to me, and I would do anything for them and to keep them safe and happy.
