Family or friends

We like our friends and family very much. They are there in our bad times and our good times. They share our most important memories...and how can you forget those good old times. However many argue that friends are only there when they need you, but when you need them they disappear. Only family support you throughout your life.

Would you say the same..? On the other hand there is someone I know, not pointing any fingers😛, who feels social life is more imporant then family and spends more time with thier friends.

It's a tough question and one we hope would never even cross out minds. As a nation (by this I mean India) our culture gives a lot more emphasis on family bonding unlike many western countries. But...yes the dreaded but..if you had to choose between them who would it be and why?

hey, I voted for family, but can i please say something?

Good and supportive friends become my "family". so the second choice that i did not click was for other friends I interact with. Just my thinking- many of my friends are now family and I mean it..

hmm.. i think there is no 2 opinions of preference of family over friends... blood is thicker than water..

Life is complicated and so are humans.. no guarantee of how when and where a person might do. Parents and siblings are dependable people. Friends may be there, they might share good/ bad things, and might go away. new friends may come.. and they can turn quite nasty too friendship bases on the "Give and Take" formula...But family is a constant "unconditional" support..no matter how dysfunctional, but trusted!

Family... Any day... 😃 😉

I am 100% with QT. But to balance it out I voted for Good old friends too. I have good set of close friends who are my extended family. Rest I dont consider as friends they are merely acquaintances. 😃

my famo coz der been der 4 me my whole life i wouldnt gve dat up 4 a friendship dat has onli been der for a few years however im just sayin dis coz i aint been in dis situation hw eva if i was in dis situation i wld like 2 belive id choose family however i nw it would b a hard decision 😉

There is No Comparison B/w these Two..... They Both Have Place Right In Our Hearths.....

Thay both are equally important and we need both of them in different situations so hard to choose one

both r imp in my life friends as well as family 😆

Hmm!! I agree with my good old young friend MNMS on this issue!!

I rely on family much!!! Earlier my best friends were only my own brothers!! I am friendly with all but when it comes to the issue of my problems,I don't take the help of family or friends!! I don't like sharing my problems with others unnecessarily!!!

Coming back to the issue of importance of friends and family.Family members take care of you even if you make mistakes or if you don't please them.But friends will be intouch only if we are in touch!!! I don't say all the friends are like that but....still I feel Friends can never replace family members!!

I make very few best friends and I try to maintain the friendship whatever happens.My friends are of different ages!! Most of my friends are old people!!This is the reason Maryam (MNMS) who is of 89 years is my friend 😛

Cheers,
