A good friend is hard to find. Have you heard this phrase..."a good friend should never give up without a fight?" If you friend is constantly judging you and your actions, is keeping you from doing things you really enjoy, would you continue to fight for the friendship or would you just let it go? I had three great friends, a very good friend. I thought these friends wermy best friends and I always thought we would be friends forever, but I am so tired of fighting for these friendshipsI'm tired of constantly being threatened, belittled, and unappreciated..would you let these friends go?

Well first of all a true friend won't constantly belittle you..i find its not how many friend we have but the quality of the friendship i do have...
I have had friends in the past that i will admit at times i think about and miss but, i had to cut the friendship off....if they are constantly makeing you feel bad about yourself then they are not true friends anyways, who wants that in thier life..i am very happy with the descisions i have made in that area...i now have a few true friends that i can count on for anything, and i don't have to worry about the negative anymore....

You are right, a true friend would not belittle you and make you feel less important than what you are. A true friend would also know what it takes to be a "true friend." They would not to you what you can say..what you can't say, what to do and what not to do! If you focus on the positive in the friendship, it would be worth saving. A qaulity friend is hard to find and being able to spend quality time together is even harder when to many people are involved in the relationship.

I'll let them go because more than anyone else, you should love yourself and not let other people treat you that way. We can never change people. They are who they are. Sometimes we wish that they act this or that way so that our relationships would be better, but it's only them who could help themselves.

Thank you for responding to my question. It is true that we can only change ourselves, and our behavior. The friends I once knew and grew to love also changed, unfortunately their changes didn't include me.
