I have a few friends that I am so close to, I feel like I can tell them mostly anything. When I'm frustrated with something they've done, I tell them why I'm annoyed. Well, at least I usually do. Other times, I have a tendency to not talk to them about something that's bothering me, and instead vent what I'm thinking to other people. This helps me calm myself down, but it really doesn't help my friend at all. I guess this is what Emerson was trying to avoid, huh? I agree with that part of Emerson's opinion on friendship; I would hate to be on the other side of a situation like that. I guess the point of this experiment was to see what friendship could be in the eyes of Emerson. Good thing I have amazingly incredibly friends to begin with! :)
Being an Emersonian friend for a day didn't change much, since I generally have a very open, close relationship with my friends. I can see how it would change other interactions, however.
