VIDEO [CC] - 'Friend Whoring' The ASL Storytelling by Barry Sewell.



This video producer by theHolism also known as Barry Sewell posted on YouTube social networking for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.



TheHolism' statement quote: This term 'Friend Whoring' came out of my "mouth" when I had an issue with a friend who visited us earlier this year. I checked the Internet to see if this term was used or even appropriate for what I was talking about. And it was!



This term made me think a lot about what I've seen in the Internet world, especially in the Deaf community and social networking DeafVIDEO.TV.

Friend whoring is probably why people do not treasure and preserve friendship the way they would if they invested quality time in building a lasting relationship with others. Quick friends are formula for disasters and perhaps even domestic violence.



I just wanted to share this thought with the Deaf community and help them identify one of the reasons why they don't seem to get along with each other. There is no short cut to a meaningful relationship.



One has to invest quality time and energy into it, which is something very few people seem to be doing these days. It is my hope that this video will encourage us to seek quality friendships that are based on authentic relationship. -theHolism
