Out here as in real life I have friends that would have my back as well as I have theirs without question.

That comes with time and growth of these wonderful friendships.

Having my back encompasses supporting me as well as a kick in the but. Lol

God got my back, always has.
However, I have family who are very supportive. I have real good local and overseas friends and prayer partners.

In Mingle, I do have at least three great friends. Yes, I mean great friends.....advice, a shoulder, rebuke, love....a two way traffic. I really grilled them initially, fearing they could be scammers of fakes. It was humbling later lol. Now good friends. :banana: flowers

Only myself, I have learned in life that when things get tough the only one I can count on is me, I like to keep things to myself,the suffer in silence type.

I've learned that I have friends as long as they can benefit from it, they'll hang around. For Example: When that flood hit us in West Virginia, and water was up to the waist and higher in your hometown, in your house, neighbors house, and nothing you can do by cry. Long story short, when the water finally went down, it left nothing but mud. I couldn't have stayed at my place, so I asked a friends..that I worked with or I've known for years. Not one person, let me stay for about a week, not one person offered to help clean up the community. That pissed me off, they was supposed to have my back, as I would have theirs. Moral of the story, when all is going awesome, you'll have friends, but crash n fall just one time....you're left alone.


I have found that to be standard operating procedure in my life. I'm a "fixer" by nature. I have many skills and I like helping others. Rarely have I ever asked for help. But, when I have asked nobody stepped up.

I helped one friend with money, free work, and personal counseling, through a very troubling time. I even allowed him to treat me like cr_p because I knew how much he was suffering. I didn't expect anything in return. But, after he got back on his feet he totally blew my off. He will call me back when he is in need again. But, I will never have anything to do with him again.

Thank you for being a nurse. If I knew you I would have helped you.

Being on this site has taught me quite a few things....and you can say the same, most likely.... But there comes a time when you find yourself alone, ,helpless, confused, and in need of advice, verification, validation or whatever.....who has your back, who can you turn to, who will u confide in, who will set ya straight....etc...A friend from this site or a relative or an ex or a BFF or your local witch doctor...Who?
Whats your story, and do you care to share, briefly....


In our everyday existence, people come and go. We gain friends, some stay for good no matter how far away you are from each other, the communication is still there no matter how busy you are with your lives, No matter how seldom you talk, the connection is never lost because from the start you have founded the strong bond of friendship. I have many friends but I know who are my REAL FRIENDS in good times and bad times and I consider them my treasure. We may be far away from each other but in our minds and hearts we stay. Almost all my best friends are living abroad already with their families and we do communicate from time to time. I have friends nearby but because each of us are busy with work and own family, we understand our priorities and when we have time we set up a get together. My family is constant in my life. Though we sometimes have misunderstandings, we always know we can count on each other with trust and confidence and never turn our backs to those who needs help. And as for friends online, I met a wonderful man I consider my adviser and rebuker whom I trusted with my thoughts and feelings knowing he would never be bias......the knowledge , wisdom and friendship I gained from our sharing is something that I couldn't trade for anything else.

I believe we all have met friends who are only there for you in good times but on bad times, they turn their back on us.....but have we considered their situations too? We all have our own problems to face and we can't expect all our friends to help us. And that teaches us to stand on our own two feet, to be strong in facing life's trials and challenges.

I have had my own back since I was a child. Why should it be any different. If I fall or fail I get back brush myself off and hop right back on and try again. I do have friends and family. I only associate with those I want to associate with. I tried to wait for some to change, but if it happens great. If they don't I wont suffocate holding my breath for it.

But sometime I need to talk or chat, I will come here. Several people have different aspects and reading others opinions can sometimes make a rounded view of everything.

That depends, does talking to the voices in your head count?

If not then no one has my back, I have been abandoned by everyone I know but family and just like the shrinks that where paid to help me none of them seem to know how to help. None of the advice that has been given to me over the years, regardless of how good it was, has ever worked for me. All I ever seem to hear any more is "I have no idea why that's not working. It works for all these other people." Long story short, every morning I wake up and think "F**K, I woke up again", drag my butt out of bed, do my best to be a contributing member of society and every night I go to bed hoping that I won't have to do it again tomorrow.
