Family, friends, associates, etc. If you need cash, a place to stay, a car, and other things, do you believe they'll be there when you need them?
I'm often there for a lot of people.
People you can depend on

yeah we look out for each other. got some friends who'd help out, and the other way round. family too
Retired.
My family for sure, i'm lucky to have them. My girlfriend has held it the fuck down during crunch time over and over too.
You can only depend on yourself

That's the problem. It seems that most of the regular members who people who they can rely on if they get into money trouble, a place to stay, back up, etc.
I see where you're coming from. People will mess with you because you're in need of their help.

one of the greatest lessons you are gonna learn in Life is always be independent about things, and always have a contingency plan, you can never ever trust anything with emotions and the limits of human feelings

My family is absolutely unavailable and unwilling to help in any situation. I was thrown to the wolves as a teen by my egg and sperm donors and had to carve my own path ever since. A God of my understanding, and my wife are the only ones who ever considered helping me thru a rough patch.
The kicker is - I wouldn't want it any other way.
Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face
GROWN MAN TALK
but yeah theres s cousin or two that help me out. couple low lifes about who fuck with the operation n delay giving me my fucking money back or dont give it back. the Joe Budden lyric comes to mind: tried to help niggaz...some niggaz I couldn't. thats my mum in me I love niggaz I shouldnt.
some dudes want me to turn Michael Lee (The Wire) on them before they listen
I really don't believe in having friends after a particular phase in life. It's really a childish attachment that it's built for adult expectations. If you have a wife and kids (not saying everyone should) and career, when will you find time to make attachments to people for no reason other? If you're not the one that doesn't have time, enough people around you won't have time for it to be the general norm in your life at a certain age.
Right now I'm trying to grow a business, so my friend will have to be the people in the process making it happen and they're only in the process for their own benefit which is fine. I tried having friends and a plan before and they feel more entitled to your time and resources than they should. I think the mistake is relying on 'friends'
some ppl don't have families they can rely on and that sucks too. I think cutting off family that isn't beneficial perfect sense too. If you can't rely on them but they can rely on you fuck em.
Yeah. Is this person a real friend or just a great associate? I've made this mistake so many times.
People just have a lot too lose because they don't have a support system, especially men.
People just can't turn their back.
Not turning back, just putting yourself in a position where you don't 'need' them. Makes the relationship better when you only have good times to look forward too when you meet instead of who owes who what money and who said what about how. Coming to the table as a whole that doesn't need anything external and knows why they're coming to that table.
Some people are just going to drag you the fuck down, wear you out, or be adverse to you growing and developing. Even within your family. You're not obligated to deal with these people
That is a depressing post.
All my life I have been alone, without friends.
I always thought when I was a teenager "maybe in my 20s I'll have some friends" and now I think "maybe in my 30s I will have some friends"
All I have ever wanted to do all my life is kick it with the homies.
That's one thing that appeals to me about living in the hood. There are always people around everyday. That's why groups like NWA and Wu-Tang appealed to me. And Eminem with his D12 crew. I always yearned to roll with a clique that would have my back through thick and thin.
Some of us cats in the white picket fence isolated suburbs don't have that. Especially if you aren't a fan of social media which I am not.
One of the many things I like about Xzibit is that he seems somewhat isolated even though he used to roll with Dre and Em he seems to be one of those cats who keeps his head down and doesn't seek attention but keeps a lot of things bottled up until the point where he gets volatile which is something I can relate to. That is one of the unique things about X that appeals to me and that feels relatable.
Yes I know forever alone smiley, cry me a river etc. I have to say I don't agree with what you say TSA, I want to keep the dream and hope alive.
I want to finally have the friends that I never had.
On the subject my definition of a friend is someone who actually wants to talk to you and catch up with you. I tried in my teens to have friends, but they never really cared about me if I wasn't in the immediate vicinity.
They were facile, superficial relationships. To be considered a friend to me someone has to prove themselves worthy. They have to take an interest in me, they have to want to catch up with me, etc, etc. I don't suffer superficial fools gladly.

I'm always friends with 1 or 2 people at a time, but yeah I would have liked that group dynamic growing up as well. It's funny you said that but that's one of the things I think is cool about wu-tang's dynamic. my dad has 10 brothers and they're pretty much the same way so i've always grown up around that but never really had it. I had a 'group' in highschool but I was only really friends with 1 of them and cool with the rest of the school on a pretty equal basis. I also think i need more male friends but i'm not into all the dumb shit they want to talk about (sports, doing boring shit like playing cards and pool).
whenever i would go out with my 'group' i would come and go at times that weren't sync with everyone else. There was a strip of bars in my old town and I would walk into a bar, if none of the girls were feeling it, i would walk out, then go to the next throughout the whole night lol.
The city was small so you always knew 1/5th of the people at any given bar and if i ran into someone I knew i would stop and talk/hang out. But when I would go with the group we would have to get total consensus before moving from one place to another and that drove me crazy lol.
