<p>Once upon a time, I had this wonderful group of friends I could tell anything to. So I told them stuff, and we were friends, but eventually they stopped caring about what I had to say. So now I assume people don't care about me unless there is very, very strong evidence that they do. And it's made me more distant from people and probably a worse friend.</p>
<p>So, who else has bad friendship stories?</p>
<p>Story of my life. I trust very few.</p>
<p>I trust my best friend of seven years, and that’s it. Most people will screw you over so I try not to give anyone the opportunity to do so. And I’m a horrible judge of character so it would be too difficult for me to figure out who I can trust; it’s easier to trust (almost) nobody.</p>
<p>Yeah…some friends grew apart, some got into bad stuff. Some just flat out weren’t who I thought they were. **** happens, man up and get over it. </p>
<p>Yes, I have been hardened by past experiences.</p>
<p>I have some childhood good friends who grew apart, but I still have close friends from before kindergarten Im still very intimate with, and a couple VERY true friends I just know will never abandon me no matter what.
So no, I wasn’t hearthardened by any friend experience.</p>
<p>I’m sorry - you really deserve better - you do. :(</p>
<p>I don’t know what’s up with me - but I kind of am not that great of a friend to anyone. :(</p>
<p>^ How do you know? The kid could be an ahole for all we know.</p>
<p>^^Aw, thanks. Don’t feel bad about it. You had your reasons.</p>
<p>Besides, I mostly blame Jennifer.</p>
<p>^ lol…</p>
<p>… I don’t know - I guess friendships only matter if they’re serious. Thing is, one person often treats it seriously (aka actually tries to act like a good friend) while the other doesn’t…</p>
<p>okay idk i’m tired right now</p>
<p>but this is so sad - people get more hardhearted as they grow older. 
they get less nice too. and it’s not their fault. people are a lot less nice to me than they were 5 years ago :(</p>
<p>No. </p>
<p>I had a group of a few close friends who royally screwed me over sophomore and junior year, thus causing me to lose nearly all my friends and my fiance in the process. </p>
<p>I’m not any harder from it. These people were a-holes. I just went out and got new friends.</p>
<p>No. The one girl who bullied me and made my life miserable in 6th and 7th grade became one of my best friends in high school</p>
<p>^^^it’s possible</p>
<p>I think they’re better socially, which makes them act nicer. But they may not feel as nice. Of course it depends on the person.</p>
<p>yes. I feel like I shouldn’t be too nice anymore.</p>
<p>Once upon a time I had a really good friend - a best friend. We got into this big fight and literally didn’t talk for six months. Fast forward two years. We haven’t seen each other, or actually talked, for that matter, though we text and email in great frequency. Seriously one of the healthiest relationships I’ve ever had. </p>
<p>But to answer the original question, I play it really safe and do not invest my time in people who (evidently) don’t care. So, teenager, you are not alone.</p>
<p>WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE (or your friends)?</p>
<p>you lose friends, you make more friends
no one expects you to keep your friends forever
my big bro hardly talks to any one of his friends from before college but he’s perfectly a happy with the people he’s with now</p>
<p>personally, i’m a very friendship centric person so i hope to keep my friendships with my closest friends from high school</p>
