How would you treat friends who are only good to you when you are in abundanc?

If anyone did that to me I'd no longer consider them a true friend, as they will have proved that they only like me for what I have, and not for what I am.

See, as all the fingers of my hands are not of equal size, I do not think all the friends are of the same nature. I have seen friends who were there, even during my bad days. Also, some were absent intentionally. But, I will neither blame anyone for not supporting me during my bad days, nor give extra credit to anyonefor standing beside me throughout. It is the result of my actions, I mean I might have been done something wrong (even unintentionally, unknowingly)to the people in past, so they were away from me during my bad days. In any case, god is always there with me. Who else is required? Everybody has his/her own problems. We may not be aware of those. Why to feel bad about not getting support from someone during bad days, perhaps he/she was not in a position to extend his/her co-operation! God puts us in trouble to test our minds, again he only gets us out of that, no human being can do that to us. Then why to feel bad? It had to happen that way, it happened. Forget the bad days. Look ahead. Be good to others to the extent possible. Live life like a lion. If you are to remember who turned face during your bad days, you will remain in past only. Shake it off. Be grateful to god for his company, and that's why today you are here. Without that you would have perished.

So far i'm lucky that i have not met this kind of frenz but also unkucky in a way that i'm not rich.. LOL ^_^ BUt whatever it's, if i ever have such frenz, i will not really befriend or be nice to them, i will rather be harsh to them when i have the money than they being harsh to me when i become poor.. So that i can stop and prevent myself from asking them for help.. ANd so that they dun have a chance to get back at me.. lOL

Well... I've never had much money, and neither have most of my friends, so I've never experienced this. I'd like to think my judgement is good enough to stop me form being friends with a person who would turn their back on anyone in need, friend or not. A person who is not friend through thick and thin is not a friend, merely an acquaintance... it's really that simple for me.

Yes, I did experience something like this. I used to hang out with my friends two years ago when I still have my allowance from my dad. Unfortunately my allowance was cut-off last year because of some matters. I still hang out with my friends but it is as if I am an outcast. I don't know. They began to treat me in a different way. It is as if they don't like me because I can't give contributions for our luch at fancy restaurants or I can't spend money for shopping. These kind of people are shallow. They don't value real friendship. They just want you to be around when you have money. And if you don't they will really make you feel unwanted. I really regret the time that I met them. I thought they are my true friends, but they are not. Two months ago, I was planning to move out from our house. I asked my friend if I can stay in her house for two days because I don't have a place to stay and I am still waiting for my money to arrive so I could get an apartment. She just said no, and she did no explain why she can't make me stay in her house. I don't know if it is still right that I will still consider her as my friend. I asked her the favor because of all my friends she was the one who always ask money from me, ask me to help her with her troubles. I was really not expcting that she will turn me down. Now, I am really cautious in choosing my friends. It is just so depressing that you are so helpful to your friends but once you need their help they will just turn their backs on you. They will just be nice to you if you have something to give them.

i have being experience these with friends who i have know for near 10 years i moved away to uni and it seem they only talk to me,when i got something good to said or im coming home and the fact that their are working and earn,and i decide to go back to education later that them annoy them for some reason. a true friend would stick by you thoguht thick and thin and be there for you,if you got any problems,or just need a chat or some really good friendly advice from them one of my friend can me the best advice for dealing with friends who does,do what their do you back.

I don't have time for people who are only wanting to be a part of my life when i have something to ofer. I make it a point not to have people like this in my life. I want friends who will stick by me regardless of my situation.

If I come to know that a particular person is only good to me when I am at my best then the first thing I will do is by telling this at his face and I will completely remove him from my life.

I don't really think they should called or should be considered as friends at all, I always believe that I deserve someone better than them. They are like parasites, waiting for something to suck up on you. Like hyenas, who are opportunists that awaits for other predator's catch. I would suggest that you stop contacting or communicating with them, they will only do you no good but provide you with more harm..

I guess that is where we would really know who our real friends are. I dont like those kind of people and i guess its really a waste of time being with them. But some people say that we should keep a good relation with everyone around us, including those who are like that. But i couldnt avoid feeling awkward being whith those kind of people. Its really easy for me to distinguish people who are like that from those who are no like that. :(

correctly!i am a student in college,you know,so i have so much to say about that! in my opinons,these things may happen much less in boys ` world,but most in girls`.sometimes,a wrong word,a uncorrect face or else little things are possible to result in that.so ,so ,relax,my friend,that will be ok!

Yeh,it is true. even though you have many referrals,not all of them are active referrals.thanks to comment!

i have a lot of friend even if i dont have enough money..well, for those people who are only godd to you when you are in abundance is naturally a fake one,i dont give importance to these kind of people who are up to your wealth or what you have rather what you can have..

the saying that you should pick your friends is really true coz you when they say something to you either good or bad you sort of believe them so if you best friend would just desert you in your time of need then your better off getting a new one... get a friend that you can count on and would listen to your depression whole heartedly!
