Algonquin Assassin Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah I had a friend like that in primary school. We were pretty much like brothers. Always went over to each other's houses after school, sleep overs etc, but when high school rolled around something changed. We just seemed to go our separate ways. He fell in with the "popular" kids and I just stuck to being a bit of an outcast. Most of the people he hung out with came across as obnoxious douchebags to me. All through out high school whenever we bumped into eachother we would chat, but it was nothing like it used to be. After a few years went by I tracked him down on Facebook and added him, but I think I've only spoken to him once or twice since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chukkles Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) What do you do when you've had a friend for many years then they suddenly become moody for no reasons, get aggravated just for having an opinion or asking a question and start telling your stories as their own and generally try to piss you off as much as possible, then they call you next day and wanna hang out?????? Seriously I'm stuck, I've pulled him up a couple of times telling my stories saying "you remember I told you that just last week right" and I get a moody "no" in response. Talking this out would end a long friendship and split other people away from me if I dropped this one, (my supposed best friend).

EscoLehGo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The older I get the less importance I place on making new friends and in some cases maintaining the relationships with the ones I have. I remember reading a piece in one of my bullsh*t Psychology classes in either the latter part of high school or early college that detailed how friendships and popularity gradually become less important to people, males in particular, as they age. I'm in the early stages of becoming a cranky old hermit man who takes his dentures out in front of his grand children just for the sole purpose of freaking them out, this will be my final evolutionary stage before I expire and I will welcome it. Now get the f*ck off my lawn! Ya hear? Get off it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I've got different groups of friends for different occasions. The clubbing friends, the shisha smoking friends, the chilling/hanging out friends, the friends I play ps3 online with, and the uni friends I see at uni and occasionally club with. I have 3 best friends, from different groups. Haven't really had any problems in the same way as you, that's just messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-San-Andreas-man Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I used to be popular and have some pretty popular and cool friends in elementary. Hell, almost everyone in my grade level was my friend, including some of the outcasts or just normal kids. Highschool hit, and they basically just abandoned me. I still don't know why. They started hanging out with jerks, and people who I didn't like and just didn't want anything to do with me, so I started hanging out with my less popular friends, and ever since they've even been making fun of me for it. They made my highschool years hell. One especially just constantly made fun of me, and not just teasing, personal sh*t too, like he wanted me to feel bad. I swear I came so close to just knocking him out sometimes, but I never did. I still to this day don't know why they hated me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunWrath Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 When I quit drinking, I found out who my true friends were. The people down at the AA meetings? Nah, friends throughout normal life. You develop such a relationship around drinking that when you give it up.. you have no need for them and they have no need for you. AA is just part of a program I have to do.. I don't swear by it. I do think however, that it can be helpful for those who really do have a serious drinking problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kifflom112 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 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. What a prick. You should've knocked him out.

Max Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Most of my friends are glorified drinking buddies, even some of the ones I've known since I was 2 or 3. This knowledge doesn't make me in anyway angsty, upset or mistrustful, we use each other for the same thing: fun. Tyler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dildo Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 So, when did you realise that your 'friends' weren't really your friends? I've never realized that. I choose my friends wisely and they haven't abandoned me yet hopefully I've never abandoned them either. at least I don't feel like I ever have.

Mr.Mister Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well I just lost a friend, and $1000. You know, sometimes I say the wrong thing, but I never desire hurting others. I will never turn my back on anyone, know matter how long I have known them for, aslong as I get treated with respect and kindness. People just want to use me because they see how successful I am. It f*cking hurts guys. I work so hard to achieve happiness in my life. I have 2 bros in my life right now. People come by and see what I am about and they just want to take advantage of my good spirit. Well, f*ck you! Just because we mingle does not make us bros. Achieving bro status takes years. Im so sad that I lost a good friend. But now that I think about it, im free from his sh*tty being. I have responsibilities, all he does is party and chills. f*ck you Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelincheetah Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The TC sounds really immature, I'd say High School age. I struggled when I was in high school but after I never had that problem. You shouldn't have people you hate or else you'll find yourself in that situation. Try to be at least cool with your "enemies". I have a problem keeping close friends. Lately I don't have a set group of friends that I regularly hang out with. I have like 20 friends that are closer than others that I can hang out with at any time if they're available. What gets really annoying is when you have lots of friends that aren't cool with each other. I have two main groups of friends - work friends and outside of work friends. My outside of work friends used to pretty much all be cool but several of them have grown apart. My at work friends for the most part don't have a problem with each other but there is sort of a white vs black split as well as a cool vs not so cool split. I used to hang out with work people deemed very uncool but that was when I had nobody else to hang out with. Tonight I plan on hanging out with some of my outside of work friends.

mrpain Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 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. This is so me too. I never had any problems with friendship. They love me, I love them. It's all about accepting each others' flaws and strengths. I mean, that's what friends do right? Accept each other. I never had a moment when I realized my friends weren't really my friends. I had quite the opposite really. Last year during my final year of secondary school life, I remembered I vomitted during some class. Friends rushed to my aid but that isn't the main moment in this story. We had a soccer game after that class. I excused myself from that game and sat on the sidelines. It wasn't really an actual soccer game, it was just a bunch of people kicking up the ball really high. So I sat out and that's when I saw, each one of them. I'm close friends with a lot of people. It's funny how many friends I made in 2012 because back in 2011 I had friends, but not that many. 2012 was the year where I got to know EVERYONE in the school. It was so surreal. I literally had the feeling of having waaaaay too many friends. It was a good feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I've been aware of this since I've made friends. Even in primary school I was wary about "friends" I made sure that if they were indeed assholes who'd talk behind my back I'd have plenty of information about them to talk back.. around their back. Well there was this one time in primary school with my, at that time best friend (we did weightlifting with our erect penises) and another friend of mine which I knew through football. I used to hang out with them seperately but one day one of them came by while we were already hanging out and we hung around with the three of us. Needless to say, they both shared the more gangsta thuggish life and I always looked like I was stoned, calm and awkward, so they became good friends and started meeting eachother without me, which kind of sucked. We still did hang out together until I quit football and went to high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iHydra Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I never fell for a situation where I had to regret because of my friends decieveing me. Like my parents always say, choose your friends with care. I've always been aware of the nature of students around me. Everyone is competitive and will do anything to outrace each other. So, what I believe is, one shouldn't be too close with these type of friends and regret at the 11th hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 All my friends are gone. I'm a loner generally speaking besides my fiancee. Hang with old buddies once in a great while. Talk on xbox live a lot while we play games, but that's pretty much it. Ditched some other people in my life who were jackasses. I don't mind it.

I hear a lot of people saying they have problems with friends and they have problems with people stabbing them in the back, but I've never really had any problems like that. I pretty much know everybody in my college (1800+ people) but there's only about 20 people I would go to if I needed advice and they never let me down.

Kifflom112 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) My sister had some friend problems with one girl(Kim). This girl first had drinking problems, and then claims to have cleaned herself up. Now she says she goes to church and says she hates gays and that everyone needs god. Me and my sister are Christian and know there is a god, but damn, we do not shove it down others throats nor do we become judgemental twats. Yeah, I've had this problem rather recently. I thought me and this guy were 'cool' with eachother. It was pretty okay. But then someone disrespected me, and I got stabbed in the back by this guy. Basically, didn't even stick up for me even a littlr and just took sides with the guy who just insulted me. It's messed up. You can't really trust anyone as a friend.

Not to sound stupid but it's kinda my fault for having my games near someone I only knew for a while.

Kushi_Pete Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I've all ways kept my distance since I was a kid because I don't trust no one. That's probably because when i was 4yo my mom tried to catch me because i did something stupid and i ran to the woods and my mom left me there and she went to granny for coffee and that was in the middle of the winter. One summer my friends (that i hang out with at time when i was 7-15yo.) and i went to the woods to check out a new air soft battle ground and I had left my bike at a friends house that was about 2 km from the place and they had cycled to the spot. So they got a call from these girls that we used to hangout with. So they went to hangout with them while i was walking to my bike and after that I went home and called them to ask where they was at and they said that they were at a beach. So i cycled to the beach and when I came there they weren't there so i called them and they said they were at a girls house and they had been there the whole time. f*cking c*nts. They used to do stuff like that to me sometimes and I couldn't really change group because at the school that i went to there where like 50 kids and i didn't like the most of them. I changed group when i went to high school and im still hangin out with some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
