Friendships are Basically Hostage Situations

By Trevor A. Keveloh
After years and years of going through friendships, keeping, building, losing, killing and so on, I've come to the conclusion that all friendships are basically a hostage situation. My theory is simple. You become friends with someone, then depending on your connection, you remain just friends, or develop into a stronger and greater connection. When you move towards that stronger bond with someone, you tend to open up, divulge the skeletons in your closet, express your deepest and darkest fears as well as expressing your dreams and aspirations. Your friend now knows all too much about you and if you are to cross them, they have the ability to publicize all your personal life to whomever they feel. Think about it.
You meet someone you really connect with. Have all kinds of shit in common like favorite beer, movies, whore selection, sports and shit. Then you get drunk together one night, you accidentally tell them that you once banged your bosses wife at the Christmas party, or you are fawkn some 19yr old intern, or you were on ecstasy and you blew some guy in a WeHo shitter. That friend now basically has partial ownership to some really fawked up shit you've done. What do you do now? Sometimes you can't just cut them off, especially if it's some fawkn asshole who enjoys hurting people with slander type shit or is just a prick who likes to start shit. So if you end up getting into a fight, you swallow your fawkn pride like that load of cum in the WeHo shitter and you deal with it. OR, you kind of slowly back away and always keep in touch with them. Make up some typical bullshit like you are, "so busy with work and your shitty family that you can't do as much," I dunno, people always find a good reason to just back tha fawk off someone who they are worried is going it OUT them if they have a friend breakup.
It's a tricky situation so be careful. You've got to treat that friendship like a hostage situation and make sure they don't off one of the prisoners and make you look like a shitty negotiator. That shit is crucial to your well-being and especially your future. Shit, what if your friend is some keyboard warrior who likes to bash people and go crazy on social media? You've got to watch those tricky lil fuckers. Those are the worst. They kind of troll through the internet all day, sitting graciously in their cubicle, attacking people all over the world, hiding behind that trendy screen name like "All4One." Getting paid 80K to tinker with some office bullshit but spend most of their time just annoying people.
In the event that some mercenary takes your private life public and you are past the point of no return, you've got to just either fess up and acknowledge your secrets, or lie through your fawkn teeth and make them look like a fawkn mad man. Either way, you are kind of fawked. So be careful on who you spill your guts too, you never know who is going to use your personal shit as a hostage negotiation.
