5.  What do you think the main problem in friendship is?

• Some people grow out of friendships.
• I don't always have the time for my friend because I am busy.
• The main problem in a friendship, in my opinion is, jealousy and envy, and a guy that both of you like at the same time. (Friends have similar tastes.) A true friend wouldn't try to get that guy, and as true friends, you both stop liking the guy, even if you really like him.  A friendship is more important.
• Disagreements and not being honest about your true feelings when discussing any problems.
• Knowing who your true friends are.
• The main problem in friendship is communication. One friend could be mad at the other and the other can't apologize because they don't know how.
• Lack of respect.
• Misunderstandings
• Sometimes seeing to much of each other isn't a good thing.
• Taking someone for granted.
• It's hard to be supportive when you don't always agree.
• Today people are to self-absorbed.
• I think the main problem is that when people get married and have families of their own, friendships seem to fade and you become distant.
• Jealousy, fighting, judging them all the time
• It is hard to agree and disagree on something
• I think the main problem is communication
• Keeping your friend.
• That you can't be with your friends all the time.
• They don't have much time to spend with you.
• Fighting, communication and respect
• The main problem with friendship is arguments.
• Trust and not telling secrets
