Or\n\n"Your'e My Best Friend" from a woman...\n\nThat is a big compliment for a man to receive.

Of course you can. But you have to be aware of the possible consequences (emotional ones specially) of it!

People change, sometimes with reasons, sometimes without.  It is hard to tell whether you think they have changed or they think you have changed according to your statement.

the phrase "actions speak louder than words" comes to mind, I was once told that sometimes your own family can be your worst enemy, their are some mistakes that you will make in life that will be so bad that you can't fix them, all you can do is make amends, set things right as best you can and muddle your way on through, and that's life!!

Yeah it could be.\n\nI've had that before. Like you can always guess what someone's gonna say next - or you just know them all a little too well....

That's kinda hard to answer, I think it would depend on how long you have known that person, what they had done, and how deeply you felt for them. Life is short spend your time wisely

In my personal experience I wouldn't say so, but it really depends on the person.  I recommend talking to someone you no or are close to.

If a person has experienced the same thing that is personal knowledge. Everyone experiences stuff different though. Take that into consideration.

"For example, if you overheard a piece of a conversation where the person was saying how they could afford to buy something new, and you knew that they had debts with someone locally, would you confront them about the purchase or would you contact the person they owed? "\n\nI just took a tid bit out but you can see where I am taking this from.  Right there you are contradicting your argument.\n\nIn one section you are talking about eaves dropping and not getting into other peoples business. And in another you talking about confronting someone about someone else's problem.  You have a point I just feel that you are explaining your self the wrong way.  Gossip will happen all of your life in every place you go. Work, School, even Church.  \n\nI can understand that it is frustrating when you hear people do this, but technically you are doing it yourself and not even realizing it.  When you hear someone say something behind someones back and you tell your friend "Now that is messed up." and then rant about people being the way they are and talk about how they should say that to that persons face, you are just doing it yourself.\n\nLet me ask you this. If you hear someone saying something about your friend, you would confront them about it, but would you also go and tell your friend that so and so was saying this about them.\n\nBy no means am I cutting up your question I am just suggesting to you to take a closer look at the situation and realize that everyone does it to a degree, some more than others but we all do it.

May not be right away at the beginning because you don't want to tell them but later on you may eventually tell them pieces by pieces during the daily conversation.  So depending on yourself and your personality.

I have a friend that was going through severe deppression and she didn't think anything was wrong with her. Her life was falling apart and she was pushing everyone that loved her away. I talked to her about different things that were going on in her life; I gradually pointed out some things she could do to help change them. I also gave her examples of my own experiences with depression and was able to help her relate to many of them with her life. I was able after several discussions; that maybe she should call her Dr. and discuss what is going on with her. When she was able to bring herself to do this , she realized that many of the problems were in her head and not what she thought they were. But, in the end it has to be that person willing to recognize that they are ill and need treatment. Until then all you can do is be supportive, loving, and truthful. The best friend is one who can be honest in a non-threatening, loving manner.

sometimes friends tell other people your problems, that's why.

It must be hard to face this. Alot of people don't realize what great mistakes they have made in their lives until they are at the ends of them. I really think that you should go to hear what he has to say to you. If you don't then you may wonder the rest of your life about what he had to say to you. Please do this not only for him, but for you.Be strong.

It's hard to say... If the person chose to know, they could start saying their good-byes and do the things that they would never have the opportunity to do.  If the person chose not to know, they could continue living life without the fear that their life would be cut short.

Yes.  But if it goes on too long and it affects his life and the family's, it's a problem you have to address.  Addictions come in various forms.  You need to keep conversation lines open.

No, but you might want to keep some of your opinions to yourself, and not utter everything you have ever thought about...\nThat's what I have been told...

Acknowledge the person's response and listen to what he or she has to say.  You indicated he or she may be dying, so this is not the time to argue, but to listen.  He or she may have learned some valuable lessons and willing to share with you.
