Friends. And boundaries??

All of us have a certain comfort level about many topics, but when friends come into the picture should you be open about everything or respect each others boundaries?
Let's start with being open, which has many benefits. Telling important things about you to a friend makes you have a stronger and deeper emotional connection to that person. Creating a new found level of friendship that would not be there if you didn't say anything! Through that friendship you will come into contact with many issues, and you will be able to use each other for support.
Then there's respecting boundaries, which can also be healthy to a relationship. When you know what you want and what you don't, the friendship can sail more smoothly. If your friend feels uncomfortable about a topic then don't talk about it or try to help them get the same comfort level you have, and your friend could help you in-turn. This type of friendship also makes you know what the person likes and doesn't.
What every relationship you and your friend chose, something remains important! Know your friend! This will aid you in everything you two do together.
