HEART Evangelista admitted that she thinks ending friendships hurt more than romantic breakups.
In her recent YouTube vlog, Heart confessed, “Parang mas masasaktan ako sa friendship. Parang mas masasaktan ako sa mga ganon.”
She then explained that growing up, she didn’t have many friends so she tends to be clingy with people she’s close to.
“Kahit sa past ko, I’ve always been very clingy to my friends because I don’t have a lot of friends. I’ve always been an outsider in school. I’ve always been like misunderstood, I guess. So whenever I had just, like, key people, I would really, like, I literally would tell them that I couldn’t live without them,” she said.
The actress also pointed out that she considers friends as family.
“It’s painful because I never treat my friends like friends. I treat them like family, you know. So that’s why when you treat them like family, they know the good and the bad because you’re confident that they saw your heart first right,” she stated.
Heart further explained: “So it’s painful for me because when I rant about—I can’t rant to my husband about him, right—I rant to my friends about my husband or whatever. So for me it’s painful because it’s like I wrote all my thoughts on a diary and they just stole it. So for me friendships are hard.”
In the same vlog, Heart also remarked that she doesn’t believe in outgrowing people.
“I never believe in outgrowing people. I always want to be with the same people that’s why I take a lot of pictures because I feel like it’s alright to print these pictures and frame them because they’ll forever be there,” she stated.
“But someone once told me that it’s not true that people come and go, whatever. I’ve always believed that everybody can be together forever. But it is what it is.”
Heart pointed out that just like in a romantic relationship, communication is key in maintaining friendships.
She explained: “For me communication is important. It’s the same with marriage. Sometimes you do outgrow each other, sometimes you want other things. But what will keep it together is you have to be open and talk to each other. It’s the same with friendship. If you’re the type that want them to stay and you all should have like an open relationship and completely talk about each other the good and the bad.” (PUSH)
