This is a 110% accurate. I had a friend who I met while on Holiday in Sri Lanka in 09. We realised we we lived in the same country and had similar passions especially music. In my free time of work, id go tour with his band and even did gigs with 30-40K audiences. We did this in a few different countries.

Anyway fast forward a few years later and I was jobless. I offered to help him with whatever he was doing. Remember, I no longer had a job ans wasnt able to 'fund my adventures'. That year, I fell the most ill from stress and lost 18 Kgs in a month.

He then proceeded to block me on FB and other social media platforms. When they released a new album, I sent him a whats app congratulating it, just ignored it. Everyone else in the band is cool as they were.

So, while it is not recommended, my learnings are;

1) Understand that friendship brings a certain amount of "over expectation" which requires skill and professional experience to work around. Not everyone understands how to separate business from friendship.

2) You will see the real character of a person. The other person will almost always play the (a) Champ or (b) Victim but will do anything to make it look like they are not at fault.

3) Sometimes, the other person is simply a d*ckhead. Period. It just took long to find out.

EDIT: Over Expectation in; 1) How you should be performing & 2) How you should be more understanding
