I know exactly how you feel. I had deleted my facebook for months and went back on yesterday. I barely get any calls or messages on here or on facebook. I am looking to find other things to do. I am going back to school next month and I look forward to it

They don't sound like real friends to me. I had some of the most amasing friends in High School(or so I thought) then years later as we got older, they stopped calling me, or having anything to do with me. It took me a while, but now I just say...fuck them. This may sound corny & played out, but I think a friend is someone is with you through thick n thin, & will always be there for you. People like the persons you described are NOT welcome in my life. I'd rather be alone. I've met some awesome people here. I have about 30 + 'friends' here in DS. There are only about 2 or 3 who are really kind, the rest...eh, not so much.

I sympathise with you on many levels. I'm sure you have the potential to meet great people out there & here too, who will appreciate you a lot more than your current 'friends' do now.

first of all.... hang in there..... i have the same thing happening to me on a whole other level. i am still trying to build a foundation..... for my tree that has one leaf left on it. i cut out alot of people from my life and i'm trying to make things anew. it's really hard. i am trying to find new people to hang out with. and it's not always "the better person you are the better people you will be around" i think the opposite is more true actually. try to surround yourself only with positive, respectful, nice, caring, compassionate, friendly people, and you will find yourself having a better life. trust me, i've been around plenty of assholes and fickle friends to know. friends that turned into enemies. friends that were never friends at all, and friends i had to cut out because i couldn't be associated with them anymore.those friends you have that check in to see how you are doing, keep them close. you will see changes and you will like it.... good luck

So sorry....I get so frustrated with some of my friends especially when they don't respond to emails or text messages.

Its amazing..you reach out to people genuinely asking how they are etc. and nothing. But then when they are in need of something they come running to you. I'm tired of that happening. I've wasted so much time on people like that. They weren't my true friend at all. I had a bad year, I lost a lot of friends just because I stopped trying due to all this. I'm not messaging to bother anyone, I'm not coming out randomly. I was legit thinking of someone and wanted to know how they were! I'd kill for that sort of thing to happen to me. The problem are the people indeed. Self absorbed people. If they're too busy, then i'll be too busy for them too. Friendships, are a two way thing...you've got to have some sort of investment by both sides right? I'm in the same boat Tabby. Its so frustrating. But you know, I've learned to be happy being alone and enjoying time with myself. I know of so many unhappy people in unhappy relationships and they are stuck. I've learned a great appreciation for "Alone" time meaning the world is mine and I have the freedom to read, watch any movie or do whatever I like to do. Yes, would be great of course with friends...but really lately I've had several people complain how they envy my lifestyle. Thats the way I look at it...hope things get better! And remember, always people on here to support you.
