I think I have been a bad friend before, done my friends a disservice by defending them to the last regardless of whether I actually, deep down, agreed with them. And I think that damaged us because from then on our friendship had no capacity for truth. It was either break or lie

In retrospect, I think protecting people from having to learn their own fallibility is one of the worst things you can do as a friend. You have not only doomed your friendship, but you have damaged that person’s growth.
