Frankness And Honesty In A Friendship

I was a girl who did not have many friends because I used to believe that the process was a waste of time. Every time I decided to start a friendship with someone, that person said or did something that made me feel let down. With time, I realized that 50% of the problem was mine. I used to be an introverted girl and most of the time I only took my feelings into account and as a result I went away from that person without asking for explanations.

I think that the main reason for my anger most of the time was finding out about their lack of outspokenness. However, as i said before, fifty percent of time it was my fault because I was narrow-minded. This situation lasted for a couple of years until my thinking changed over time (there are many ways to say this; but this is probably the most natural way I would express your thought).

Currently I have a couple of friends who have been with me not only during the best of times but also when I was going through difficult times. My friends are the kind of people whom I like to be with, they are open and straight. I´ve changed my mind about the meaning of a friendship. Now I take my time to know a person and my personality has changed.  I was narrow-minded before but now I am an open-minded person. The most important qualities I still demand are frankness and honesty of my friends.

Listening

Hi, yesterday I was listening to music in English and saw some videos on youtube. It is very difficult to understand the music but this is good. I hope to practice.  What music do you recommend that I listen to?
