BullworthAcademy Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I realised when my friends suddenly started hanging out with new types of people, they started hanging out with the people who hate me. After a period of time, my friends turned into my enemies. They started to talk about me behind my back and insult me in front of everyone. They started spreading sh*t about me to everyone. Luckily now, I have some new friends. So, when did you realise that your 'friends' weren't really your friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie11b Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I can't say I ever had that problem. Then again I know how to distinguish my acquaintances from my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEALUX Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That's all part of growing up. Apparently people who aren't mature enough find it harder to accept that others don't like them, because some parts of their brain aren't fully developed yet. I only have about a handful of good friends and I only meet with one of them (my best friend) on a regular basis. The rest are sort of acquaintances that I barely have anything in common with to qualify as friends. Some of those acquaintances that I used to call "friends" did the same thing you described and I was a bit mad at some point, but I did forgive them and now we are on good terms (though I don't hang out with them anymore). I think that as you grow up it becomes less important to have many friends. One or a few good ones are enough.

Adler Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Happened pretty often in my early school years. Me and my best friend used to hang with each other on the bus to school everyday til one day he refused to move aside so that I could sit down, saying he was waiting for another friend. The betrayal! I don't remember ever talking to him again. Later on, I made friends that still stuck with me for years, and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA_stu Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 When they gang raped me in the toilets then tried to set me on fire. They said they were only joking and that I should stop being so sensitive. I can take a joke but honestly I didn't find it very funny at all.

They said they were only joking and that I should stop being so sensitive. I can take a joke but honestly I didn't find it very funny at all. Tell me about it, a couple of my friends blindfolded me, chloroformed me and locked me up in the trunk of a 95' Buick LeSabre. Then they threw me into an old cornfield that was home to a very strange man who sold frying pans and jarred potions, although most people agreed these were just bottled farts. My friends are such big jokers, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

na89340qv0n34b09q340 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) My friends and I were separated just before we got to high school. I had an urge to f*ck one of them, and I think he could tell, so in a way I'm kind of glad I was pulled out of that situation. Anyway, more relevant to the topic, when I was about 14 I had one friend who was awesome. She set trees on fire, threw rocks at old men, and accused the guy who owned the housing complex we were living in of being a pedophile (It was rumored that he had at one time installed cameras in public pool's bathroom.) Anyway, she was fun to be around, but she always treated my 5 year-old sister like crap whenever she'd try to tag-along with us; my sister was nicknamed oompaloompa at the age of five, naturally I realized she wasn't a very nice person.

King Of Monra Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 We just outgrew eachother, found different things that interested us, chose different paths in life. The friends I had years ago, I still talk to them and have a nice tone, but they aren't friends in the same sense compared to the friends i have now, if that makes any sense.

ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE sorry could not resist love that song anyway OT - I have never been put into this actual position, because I tend to keep most people at a distance. Closest I would say is that some acquaintances who I was relatively fond of started ducking me. so I thought screw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orbitalraindrops Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 When I was 14 there was an older guy at our school who I had a crush on. I told my best friend at the time. To my face my friend was all understanding and said it's fine to be unsure of your sexuality at our age and he'd promise to keep it a secret etc. He then told everyone at school. Needless to say I was pretty embarrassed and hurt. Not only was I the boy with no pubes, but I was now the gay boy with no pubes. At a time when image and peer groups are everything a betrayal like that can cut deep. What hurt the most was when I asked him why he did it he just shrugged, like there wasn't even any real reason to it. It broke my heart tbh and our friendship pretty much ended there. I made friends with some more people later that year though who don't care about stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verdant Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Mine is quite the same as yours OP. Way before High School I started to socialize with with this kid. He was pretty cool and we were die hard fans of the Mortal Kombat games, but once High School hit perhaps around Year 9-10 he just turned into a complete racist asshole. Taking a picture of a girl, Photoshopping her skin to be black and posting a status on Facebook along with the words '100% N***er'. Jeeze, why do I even have this c*nt added on there anyway... Nowadays, I have awesome friends in which we play all sorts of games in the computer room at lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDANZ96 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Some of these jokes seem to be pretty messed up. You gotta watch out for the "friends" that you might have. I think that during my whole school time I was very lucky friend-wise, because I've never had any "fake friend" who would pretend to like me to later betray me and laugh at my face just to look cool. I always knew who were the real friends and who were the worst "enemies" that I could possibly have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang. Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I never had that problem. I've had friends that I grew apart from, but never had any issues with genuine friendship. If anything, I take them for granted. Very rarely do I ever actually try to contact any of them, though I typically love chatting/seeing/hanging out with them. Just the way I am, I guess. I'm perfectly content on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acehilm Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 My best friend in primary school turned out to be a bit of an a-hole during later years. Basically insulting me and talking behind my back to my other mates, joking about me and what not. Never looked at him the same after that. Best word of advice, keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
018361 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I found out after my hand started cramping up on me. In all honesty I never really had "friends". When I was younger I would hang out with people in school or something, but that was usually because we had the same classes together and I would usually get good grades. After it became the next year I would be totally ignored. I was always the loner type too. I am incredibly socially awkward and anti-social and the last few years I was in High School I started to get really bad anxiety attacks for some reason.

Nopheros Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I had one friend, who was also my bestfriend, he started hanging with another douche, and I have a problem talking with other people.. so it all became complicated, but I actually prefer not having friends as they are a max payne in the ass sometimes. I'm socially awkward, and maybe even autistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokot Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I realised when my friends suddenly started hanging out with new types of people, they started hanging out with the people who hate me. After a period of time, my friends turned into my enemies. They started to talk about me behind my back and insult me in front of everyone. They started spreading sh*t about me to everyone. Luckily now, I have some new friends. So, when did you realise that your 'friends' weren't really your friends? Same thing happened to me at some point in high school. I worked part time after school with a guy who I'd thought for years was my best friend. He bussed tables, I washed dishes.. everything was great, we'd hang out constantly. Then one night everyone went to go clubbing after work. They were mostly girls and they liked going to the "gay bar" because they didn't get harassed there. We lived in a town with a Naval port so sometimes there would be loads of horny young American sailors in town. Anyway, I was tall at 15 and the girls were certain that if they surrounded me that I'd be able to get in no problem. I did, and had a great time, even got to making out with one of the chicks and probably could have taken it further if I hadn't puked my guts out that night on the curb after getting out of the taxi in front of her apartment. Well my supposed best friend was probably jealous but he went and told everyone that I was gay, blah blah. It was so lame and I got seriously bullied by some of the older headbanger dudes. Serious betrayal. Around that time, my parents bought a house closer to their work, and I had to change schools. I ended up going to the coolest f'kin school with amazing, open minded people and never looked back. I'm in my 30's now. I got married really young and divorced a few years back, and when my sister was talking to one of her really old friends from back in the day about me getting divorced, she was surprised because she'd always thought I was gay. Not in a phobic kind of way, but people from that school just accepted it as fact. Anyway, so what if I was gay? Funny thing is, one of the most hard core metal head dudes from those days is now working in the cosmetic section of a department store, camp as a row of tents. Teenage years are awkward, and when people get that sort of pack mentality, there ain't much you can do about it. I was lucky my folks sold the house and we moved out of that narrow minded sh*t hole suburbia when we did, but the fact of the matter is everyone moves on eventually and makes friends with people who are more like minded. Oh yeah and the "gay bar" today is the coolest electronic music club in town, and has been for years. Apparently it's not 'gay' anymore, it's for 'everyone'... That was in Canada. I moved to the UK for my career 8 years ago and can't imagine leaving, I've made a whole new group of friends and spent the best years of my life here. I don't normally post super personal sh!t on the net, and maybe your situation is totally different, but don't despair. Most of those old headbanger dudes from back in the day turned out to be washed out going nowhere cokeheads. Can't say I miss them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKON8ERISBACK Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I had a guy on YouTube who acted like he was one of my buddies until made him aware of my dislike of Alex Jones is a con artist. He manages a YouTube channel which is supposed to be devoted to Michael Savage. For those of you who don't know who Michael Savage is, click here and here. One day he shifted his focus from Michael Savage sound clips to video clips from Alex Jones, who is a con artist and unbelievably insane and extreme conspiracy theorist. I complained, he told me off and then proceeded to block me. I wasn't uncivilized or "mean" about the issue either. In addition, I've had experiences with other people online that act as friends at first, but then when they learn more about who you are, they develop intolerances to who you are and what you believe and then want nothing to do with you. As for real life relationships and friends, I have been very lucky. Edited February 9, 2013 by MIKON8ERISBACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
