The seasoned Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has disclosed his reasons for finding it difficult to make friends.
He said that he is unable to be friends with resentful people.
During his appearance on the “Deep Dive” podcast, which is hosted by comedian Teju Babyface, Iyke clarified that he has a development tendency that many people find difficult to keep up with.
“We don’t hang around emotions. We don’t have time for it. That’s why I can’t be friends with everybody,” he said.
“I need somebody that won’t be hung up on my last act. I’m too transitional for it. My propensity for growth is at an alacrity that you can’t keep up with.
“Who I was yesterday is different from who I am today. So it’s not everybody that can keep up with that. I need somebody that I won’t call for 10 weeks and he is not in his feelings.
“There’s a time I didn’t call him for 4 months and he didn’t call me either. We don’t have to. But when we call, it’s value.
“I don’t want a friend that I am in your life every day. It’s never going to work because I will never show up for your kid’s birthday.
“You find me wanting at your anniversary. When you have certain issues I might not be the one to reach. But I tell you, when you call me and I sense that it’s not even a function of what you tell me, I sense that you need me, I’m going to move every mountain. So you decide the kind of friends you want.”
Friendship, especially as you get older, isn’t always easy to come by. It can be really hard to make friends, especially after our college-aged years. But more importantly, it can be difficult to find friends that really care about you and want the best for you.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
