so why is that when you dont spend a lot of time with your friends you get along fine but then when you start spending too much time the only thing that you can do is fight? I have always wondered about this. People even say that if you go to college with a friend you should not room with them cause you wont be able to stand them. Why is that? If you are friends shouldnt that mean that you can get along with each other? I know that it happens to me, i just proved that in the past five days. My friends and i went on vacation together and we were fine for like the first 2 days and then after that we all just started getting bitter towards each other and we had no idea why. It is really weird how it just happens and if anybody knows why please fill me in. I think it is common i mean i have heard other people talk about it but how often does it actually happen? I think it would be intresting if you were to look at your friends and see how many you could actually deal with actually living with them for like a week. It might be surprizing but i dont think to many people could handle living with a group of their close friends for a week with out something going wrong. I could be wrong but i think it would be a lot of work to actually make it happen. Oh well it was just a thought of mine.

My speculations:
When you are just friends, not spending a lot of time with each other, you relish in what little time you have. You are not guarunteed the next day together. It's easy to overlook the small things. But when you are with them all the time, it's harder to overlook those things. You are together all the time, so you're less afraid of missing the other person, and you aren't used to having that much time to really get to know each other. And it makes you crazy.
Personally, my closest relationships from college are with those people that I didn't know as well before living with them. We learned to live with each other first, and then we became friends. Don't live with your best friend from high school; you will both grow too much, and often in different ways. It is often the thing that ruins relationships. Don't risk it.

it's like when you have a really great friend you can spend time with that person b/c you get each other...but if you spend too much time you get each other too well...at least that's my case...I need my space I need things that are for me to know and I know that if I was around my friends too much they would know everything and I wouldn't have anything that was just mine
