Are girls too “mean” in their friendship?

They said “The only rose without thorns is friendship,” for that, I believe every
friendship is significant because we can’t call someone friendship if we didn’t
have a special feeling, special in a way that we care about that or those person,
we treat them not just a friend but as our sibling, and we love them. Having a
friendship is like I think is an investment for the particular reason that we invest
time, love, and effort into them. They claim that “Friendship is an art,” because it
is a deep connection between you and others, I agree with them like there is
respect, understanding, and acceptance in what we so-called friendship those
should be present for that there will be no jealousy, rivalry, and other negative
vibes. So when they have this question, “Are girls too “mean” in their
friendship?” I disagree.

As I have said at the beginning of this before we call a connection “Friendship”

there should be a “Deep connection” between you and other people. Friendship
is just different from “Acquaintances”. As a girl who values friendship we
should not ask this question nor create like this one because one girl is different
from other girls, we are different from one another. I cannot say that all of the
girls are mean in their friendship because I am just one but as I disagree with this
concept for that I can say that not all girls are mean in our friendship groups.
 Some people may say that why did other girls fight because of a certain reason
maybe because of a boy, money, and fame. But if really they are what we so-
called “Friendship” Why there is jealousy? A while ago I said there are three
things that should be present for that we can call a connection, friendship those
are respect, understanding, and acceptance. When we have this we will support
one another for that these three should be present.

The female relationship seems to have no limits when it comes to the

opportunities that come with it. Since the majority of women equate close
relationships with the exchanging of feelings, female friendship is high.
Friendship and inner emotions are inextricably linked. This is also valid in my
own relationship since I believe it is vital to have someone with whom I can
express my thoughts and feelings. It gives me a feeling of security and support.
Building and sustaining such a relationship is not easy by any means, but it is
well worth the effort.

Overall, as I disagree with this Idea I can conclude that not all girls are mean
with our friendships. It is an investment with having great effort, time, and love.
It is an art whereas there are three things that are present; Respect,
understanding, and acceptance. Friendship is not just friendship it has a deep
connection between you and other girls. Just like what they say, “Friendship
isn’t a big thing, it is a million little things. “
 Is competition really good?

Nowadays, competition is everywhere in school, work, family, and society. But

it is good to compete? Competition is beneficial to us because it pushes each of us
to be better. There would be no expectations if there was no competition, and we
would have no idea how to progress in ways where we fall short. Furthermore,
we might be unaware of our current situation, whether psychologically,
emotionally, or academically. Various types of rivalry put us to the test in
different ways and help us improve and keep up with the times.

With competition, there are a lot of challenges that make us practice and do
better. Competition doesn’t mean to compete with others but as well as to
yourself, compete with yourself is good because it helps you to improve
psychologically, emotionally and of course to academically. It can be your
motivation to be the best version of yourself always and to look out for positive
things. So when failure attacked you instead of being unreasonable and trying to
do it our way, we should look at better solutions that can help us succeed.
Competition, on the other hand, can be beneficial to our character and
personalities. An individual who is overconfident may continue to do things
their way in the hopes of getting what they want.

To sum it up briefly, Competition does not mean competing against others,

but it does mean competing against yourself. Competing against yourself is
beneficial and it allows you to progress in all areas of your life. To quote from
Gianni Versace, “It is nice to have valid competition; it pushes you to do better,”
