Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has opened up about his difficulties in forming and maintaining friendships, attributing his struggles to his rapid pace of personal growth and his disdain for holding grudges.
In a candid discussion on the ‘Deep Dive’ podcast hosted by comedian Teju Babyface, Iyke explained that his quick progression in life makes it hard for many to keep up. "We don’t hang around emotions. We don’t have time for it. That’s why I can’t be friends with everybody," he stated.
The actor elaborated on his need for friends who are adaptable and not fixated on past actions. "I need somebody that won’t be hung up on my last act. I’m too transitional for it. My propensity for growth is at an alacrity that you can’t keep up with. Who I was yesterday is different from who I am today. So it’s not everybody that can keep up with that," Iyke said.
Iyke also touched on his preference for low-maintenance friendships, where regular contact is not a necessity. "I need somebody that I won’t call for 10 weeks and he is not in his feelings. There’s a time I didn’t call him for 4 months and he didn’t call me either. We don’t have to. But when we call, it’s value."
He emphasized that he isn’t the type of friend who is always present at social events but assures that when truly needed, he would be there. "I don’t want a friend that I am in your life every day. It’s never going to work because I will never show up for your kid’s birthday. You find me wanting at your anniversary. When you have certain issues I might not be the one to reach. But I tell you, when you call me and I sense that it’s not even a function of what you tell me, I sense that you need me, I’m going to move every mountain. So you decide the kind of friends you want," he concluded.
Jim Iyke’s revelations offer a glimpse into his unique approach to relationships, underscoring the importance he places on personal growth and meaningful connections.
