i believe there's an untapped potential in friendships with people who don't come off nice it's easy to be friends with purely nice people — but in my experience purely nice people rarely make it up the social ladder enough don't get me wrong, they can get high but not ceo-level high or successful entrepreneur-level high (with some exceptions that don't apply in 99.999% of cases) being friends with people who might seem "assholey" from time to time yet have the hearts of gold is only marginally more difficult yet sets up your network way better this quality extends further than the person you're friends with: if you only do the easy thing and be friends with only always-nice people, no matter who these people are, you won't jump higher than the heads of your friends; i.e. you won't go up high enough tl;dr: if you're friends with only always nice people, you're taking the easy path; and the easy path is rarely rewarding

ugh this hit me directly! people either like me for my directness or find me rude. but my "rudeness" got me this far, protected me and my friends. so those who see the real benefit of honesty and being 100% straightforward see the value of my friendship. and same goes fro me too, i prefer people who are like me, rather than being falsely happy or nice and behind my back talking bad about me or others.
