The Difference Between ‘Friend-Sharing’ And ‘Friend-Poaching’

I thought the concept of friend poaching was completely childish and petty until it happened to me. The idea that a friend could be ‘stolen’ from you was laughable. Honestly, I thought, no one can steal a friend away from you. A friend is not personal property, they are free to make their own choices and if their decision is to hang out with your friends who you may or may not have introduced them to, then they have every right.
