Doesn't it bother you to have someone to call friend when they really don't act like a friend? And I'm talking about people you see either everyday or from time to time. ohwell

Yes, it's annoying. I just ignore and reject the people that aren't my REAL friends or real people. I am a great judge of character. Was right on the money with a few just recently. You are the company you keep, and I am blessed with wonderful REAL friends on here and in real life. I surround myself with positive, kind people. And for that, I am thankful and blessed. :heart:

Yeah, it does. I had three "friends" like that. I stopped speaking to them, to me a friend is more than just a word.

That's why although I have many that I call friends, I know
without a doubt the few that I can call true friends, and if
I have someone in the latter category, the feeling is mutual,
and we both know that it is unconditional. :smile:

So true. I try to be friends with just about everybody. I cherish friendship. Unfortunately, I had to say good-bye to a so-called friend. A guy friend too.

I'm not one to be F'd over & then expected to forgive easily. A real friend doesn't brush you off at the drop of a hat or ignore you like I have had some to do. They'll be there with you when you need them the most!! Had a RL friend go out of his way tonight to help me out with something & I know I can count on him when I need a true friend!!

Lots of people who say they are my " friend ".

Only one or two that actually know much of anything about me.

Usually, I am only their friend when they need to vent or something.

And that's what the person did to me. Brush me off every time. I'm glad you had a real friend go out of his way to help you. The best to have around...and to count on.

It's hard to have to give up on someone. Even if you're doing it
for the right reasons, it still hurts. I've had to cut a couple
people in the last several years, with so much going on I didn't
need extra, unnecessary drama and negativity in my life, so as much
as I occasioanlly miss the person, I know my decision was for the
better, and we still have the good memories. flowerforyou


Ok...some of that sounded better in my head, lol, but I hope my point
was somewhat clear. I have a migraine again, and I should know better
by now than to type with one. :tongue: I'm goin' to bed.oops

That's precisely my point. I had to cut people out that create drama and bring pain and bad karma into my life. That's okay to do; why bring negativity into your life? flowerforyou

Well, I really do need to vent & I could use a little exta cach if you got a few bucks to spare!!rofl Seriously I know what you mean. I'm one of those who puts myself in situations to be used by so-called friends & then when I get ticked at them I have to take a look back at myself & see what part I played in getting used. Usually somewhere I see that I have some part to blame in the situation too!!!

Jlove, LeighAnna, Indigo, LittleIke, Tessa, and JustaGuy...thank you all for your thoughts and comments. If another member comments and I missed them, I apologize and will recognize you soon (if I don't disappear...it's sleepy time).

Indigo: I hope that migraine is gone by morning. I understood what you wrote too. happy

All I can say is that my cell phone bill is going to be high because I texted so many times to the same person. I just hope he doesn't try to contact me. He should know...I shouldn't have to explain. I just wish him the best in life. glasses
