Not so friendly friends...

[**Sapphire**]

How many of you have them?

You know the ones that only come around when they feel like being bothered with you? They leave the communication process squarely on you and then wonder why they stop hearing from you? They talk mostly about themselves because it's all about them?

i definitely have a few friends like that.. .also ones that constantly talk behind peoples back and i KNOW they talk about me to other people too, because its not like im naive enough to think they actually like me. they are just gossip girls :p

I don't have too many of them anymore. I used to, though. The ones who only come around when they want something from ya... I ditched 'em! ;)

Yeah me too, I used to have friends like the above when I was younger. I was used as an ATM machine & a way to have a better time when going out because I was very generous.

I had a few that I could never get a word in edgewise about what may have been going on with me. SOO glad I don't have those types of people in my life anymore.

I do know a couple acquaintances that are like the above, mostly talking all about themselves. These are people I see on my busy or train everyday going to or from work. I let them ramble off about themselves knowing I don't hang out with them personally. That helps alot, knowing I do not want to go further than just talking for a few minutes on public transportation.

yeah I have had "so-called friends" like that...
I think we all know people like that. It always saddens me to lose a friend, but I look at it like this: If they were truly my real friend they would BE a friend and the friendship would be mutual..not one sided. True friends do not use, abuse...
None of us are perfect. We all mess up at times and take a bad day out on someone or mess up and at times hurt those we care about and love. A true friend KNOWS you through it all and lifts you up and supports you...and you do the same for them. A false friend will not be there through "thick and thin" is not dependable ...AND they will ALWAYS end up showing their true colors, intentions and motives....

Yeah, I've got some of those who, when I see them around town, ask why they haven't heard from me in ages when the simple fact is, I'm actually waiting for their response to my last few efforts. Tut.
