Friends?!

<p>Can you guys tell your stories of your experiences with friends how they weren't really your friends and what you did about it?
I'm just in a really cruddy situation with my "friends". I feel the story is too long to confess but i seek advice from you CC users :)</p>

<p>I have nothing to offer, so no one has any reason to use me.</p>

<p>Can you give us an abridged version? I may be able to offer some advice if I know what’s wrong.</p>

<p>Yeah can you give us some info? We all fight with friends, but we need to know more to help…</p>

<p>Hey kiddo,
I think I understand what you’re going for. The people who you’ve spent a myriad of weeks, months, or even years around are starting to show their true distaste for you, even though you thought you guys were as close as peanut butter and jelly. I went around this track at the end of middle school, and looking back on it I can definitely hand you a few pointers. </p>

<p>First, stop hanging out with them. They obviously don’t want you around. Also, you wouldn’t want to be associated with them as they are terrible people for not respecting you. Chances are, if they don’t like you, there are hundreds of other people whom they despise who will at some point fall into the same pattern as you. </p>

<p>Next, find a new friend. This is most easily accomplished when moving to high school or joining a new activity like I did, but rest assured, you will find some one you can tolerate and they will also tolerate you. Close common interests are a nice bonus. </p>

<p>Once you have this new friend, start hanging out with their friends. Bam! New friends group created completely duo disregarding your worthless scum of old “pals”. Note that this process can be repeated with multiple people, thus forming more friends exponentially! Just make sure that you do make quality relationships though. My life hasn’t been better since I finally dumped those 5 old friends who really hated mevand exchanged them for at least 10 awesomely fun friends, 3 super close family-like siblings, and the ability not to use that groups negatively in my interactions to others. Have fun making new friends!</p>

<p>Well in general, having people I thought were my friends and then showed their true colors hasn’t really happened to me…there are people I know who I thought were nice and all and then turned out to be jerks, but they weren’t ever my friends to begin with.</p>

<p>However, one girl I’ve been sorta friends with since 7th grade (only originally met her because of a mutual friend) has sort of alienated herself from me (which is fine with me). We were never really friends in the first place, it was just me being nice to her and all, and then she ended up in a few of my classes so were we kind of friends, but not good friends (though I have a feeling she thought we were). But then she found out I was interested in the Naval Academy and said something along the lines of, “But doesn’t that mean you have to go into the military afterwards?” and when I explained that yeah, that was the point and my intentions, she didn’t support that decision, didn’t even seem to respect it…she asked me whether I really supported war and then acted like I was certainly going to die if I went into the military and I was a fool for it. </p>

<p>Anyways, yeah…so now I’m just polite to her in class, but don’t really try and socialize with her anymore…I mean, friends are supposed to support their friends in their decisions, even if they don’t agree with their friends’ decisions they’re supposed to not completely bash them and tell them they’re wrong, and that’s exactly what this person has done and I’m not going to stick around and try to feign “friendship”.</p>

<p>Although this has happened before, I was seriously soo ****ed off when i had some friends who where not even ambitious or smart and wouldn’t put their mirrors down! so i remained friendless throughout 8-9 grade. Now it’s 10th so i thought “hey, i need some peeps” so i got a group from Fbla club.
Most of these friends are girls with deep inferiority complexes but they are good people in some aspects. I respect their ambitions but they get too jealous most of the time! I’m gregarious with elder classmen many of them are boys and have come to know them very closely! what’s happening now is that my friends are isolating me away from get togethers with all the kids i know really well! And they have the arrogance to talk about that stuff w/ out even inviting me! now i’ve noticed moments when they don’t even respect my opinions.
Don’t get me wrong i don’t need this type of drama! I understand that i’m the “new girl” to their “ancient alliance”, but come on get some perspective! I feel like the girls here are just too much…my own kind has failed me…do i really have to forsake them!?
Why do they have to be like this…I truly would never do this to anyone b/c it’s awkward, and disrespectful! Does this mean i have to be friendless once again…?</p>

<p>I have a group of friends who I’ve known basically my whole life, and now they dont invite me to do anything. Literally the only thing they ever text me is “Hey wanna get food?..” or “Hey can you drive me <em>here</em>” they basically use me for my car. </p>

<p>Last week I had enough of this when one of them literally asked me to pick him up and drive him to another friends house. My reply: “**** off.”</p>

<p>You’re gonna have crappy friends and all you can do is walk away.</p>

<p>I’ve definitely had a falling out with some friends… you think ur friends in class but when you try to say hi to them in front of their other friends they kinda brush u off. Late i realize its a warning sign; he or she isn’t a true friend just a classmate.
Sure you may text each other and talk in class but do yall actually ever hang out outside of school???</p>

<p>If not then id say its not a true friend like after high school they probably wont keep in touch.</p>

<p>Also friends that always have something negative to say about you are not a good for you to have!</p>

<p>I’m glad school is almost over for good caz i will miss some people,not everyone, that’s for sure! And I know this sounds mean but there’s one friend i have that I don’t like anymore so I’m trying to end the friendship but i dont want to make her feel bad but I also dont wana be fake & pretend to still like her :/</p>

<p>Good Luck finding new friends :smiley: lol and having guy friends is ok too , sometimes you need a break from your girlfriends.
