@debsahoy: You think you have friends? Martin Butler explains why friendship is mostly a survival strategy and why people disappear the moment you stop boosting their fitness, mood, or status. Not emotional. Just biological realism. Most friendships aren’t deep. They’re transactional. #Friendship #psychology @Martin Butler #codependency #survival #relationships https://www.patreon.com/martinbutler
The problem when you reduce everything to survivability. How do you disprove it?

Don't have friends, have acquaintances. It's healthier and a lot less pressurised.

I have always said a true friend is someone who supports or helps you when it isn’t in their best interest. Do you have a view of that

If people approach you for what you have to offer them, then all friendship are Fakes

Marting, why your books sell on Amazon at + 3 x times the prices of any other published author book, being that fiction or nonfiction?

Martin may have voiced some harsh realities but that does not make them bad.

So we ought to understand the phenomenologically obvious in terms of the theoretically dubious? Ok.

Martin - TRUE friendship is not the same thing as your herd friendship. True friendship is something completely different- a true friend will stand by you whatever you do and whatever happens. It is indeed rare. But when you find it that friendship is Eternal.

I think people actually want to help their friends, it's only when the friend is constantly needing help that the relationship fractures. both parties need to bring things to the table for the friendship to last.

Would you say that an independent thinker with the consequense of les friendships has a lower rate of survival chance, so dies earlier…..?

I have a friend that I met when we were about six. Over the years it has been such a blessing. So that would be my one good friend I suppose.🙏 I have special friends who live far away from me. They will always be in my heart. I do agree to stay with a chronically ill spouse is hard . For me it was out of love and the reminder it could have been me.
