Friendships, in my experience, are fleeting.

Take some comfort in the fact that you are not alone.

it has been my expierence that "true friends" do not exist.



Actually I've met two people in my life who I would call a true friend. When it came down to it, they made a decision that was in my best interest with nothing to gain for themselves. They have also never taken advantage of me in all the years I've known them. All the other "friends" I have put themselves first and have taken advantage of me at some point.

Yeah, while I've never been one of those people to have a stable of friends, the few "true" friends I have I know would be with me through anything. So I would have to dispute the assertion that there are no "true" friends.

i have a couple of "true friends" that i know will always be there, and that will always tell me how it is. it may not want to be what i wanna hear, but that's what makes them true. the others are fun, and always make me feel better, my true friends make me be a better person

This thread makes me thankful for the friends I have. I've known people who treat friendship as a co-dependency/status symbol, and people who just genuinely care about me, and I've learned to tell the difference between the two. In my experience, friends that require you to play mind games in order to retain their "friendship" aren't worth the time and energy. But a good friend is priceless. It's a lot like love; you can't make it happen, it either exists naturally or it doesn't.

This is sort of related....

I highly recommend checking out Erin's group, it's called Just Friends.

There are many issues related to friendship that are discussed in the group. People suck, but remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Fuck 'em.
