Yes. Many ideas need to be shared, and work-related matters also require
someone to vent to. After graduating from school, many things need to be
reconsidered, and one must guide oneself. If there is a kind friend, they would
offer a lot of reliable advice, ensuring that one does not go astray. We need
interpersonal relationships to become a person full of goodwill, rather than
being cold and devoid of warmth.

Friends come and go. Due to different experiences in life, friends who once
shared common interests can now seem like people from two different worlds.
In 2019, I went to watch the midnight premiere of 'Gemini Man.' Apart from
me, there were only three other people in the back row of the theater. At that
time, I had just started university, and it was the first time I could stay out all
night without sleeping at home, a real taste of freedom. After the movie, while
in the restroom, I overheard them discussing very professional topics; they
seemed to be film students. Their conversation sparked my curiosity. I am also
a cinephile, but I had never encountered anyone in my life who shared my
passion for movies to such an extent.
In that moment, I felt like I had found a kindred spirit. So I took the initiative to
approach them, and they were very welcoming, allowing me to join their
group. That night, we went out for late-night snacks and even explored an
abandoned building. We walked along the sidewalk, talking all night long
about nothing but movies. Then we sat by the subway entrance, waiting for it
to open so we could take the early morning train back. Afterwards, I grew
closer to one of the three. I got involved in his first short film as a director,
and I even played a character who was emotionally abusive to his girlfriend,
which was quite thrilling—it was my first time acting. Moreover, I helped him a
lot in other aspects as well.Since I am a local from Wuhan, I knew which
scenes would meet his filming requirements and took him around to scout
locations. Many times, we wandered the streets all night and then watched
movies in a private cinema, chatting enthusiastically. However, I am a
sensitive person. I needed him, but he didn’t need me as much. We would
only talk a lot when we met in person. At other times, when I sent him
messages to share my thoughts, he would often ignore them. Even when I
shot my first short film, he didn’t provide as much support as I did for him. It
reached a point where we had plans to hang out together, but when I arrived
at the agreed location on time and waited for an hour, he didn’t show up. He
didn’t respond to my messages or calls for a long time, and in that moment, I
felt extremely disappointed. Later, he explained that he was shopping with his
family and remembered that it was close to where I lived, so he decided to
invite me out to hang out. His phone then ran out of battery, which is why he
didn’t show up. However, no matter how he tried to explain, we had agreed on
a specific time and place. I believe that even if his phone was dead, he should
have come to explain in person since I was waiting there for him. There were
many similar incidents like this, and eventually, I realized that in his world, I
was just an ordinary friend, and I had been overthinking it. After that, he
reached out to me three more times, but unfortunately, I was in Beijing each
time. Now I hear that his family has sent him to study film in America. This is
how our story ends, each going our separate ways, and our two worlds will
never intersect again.

Emotionally stable. No matter what problems arise, one can maintain a calm
mindset and solve them step by step. I still have a lot to learn in this area; I
tend to get easily upset and impatient.

I have very quiet friends and also those who are very talkative. But what I
can't stand the most is people who make me lose face. In middle school, I had
a friend who, on his birthday, I gave a gift worth several hundred dollars,
delivered a few days in advance. When his birthday came, he posted pictures
of all the gifts he received on social media and thanked everyone, but he
didn't include mine. I was very angry. And the people he thanked were all
those who could bring him benefits. Another time, he copied my original post
from my social media, which I had spent a lot of time thinking about. He
pasted it verbatim, using it to show off. The last thing that really made me
angry was when he really wanted to meet someone and needed my
introduction to arrange a dinner. During the meal, he bypassed me and talked
directly to that person, never saying a word of thanks to me throughout. This
was very impolite and made me lose face. Including a few days ago, when he
asked for my help, his tone was very cold, and he didn't even use my name,
as if he was talking to a server. I ignored him, and I've decided that I don't
want to associate with him anymore.
