I have met a lot of friends to if you need help they run the other way. why is it that no one wants to lend a helping hand anymore?

Humans are selfish by nature. Myself included, I admit it! That might explain a bit of it..... I however do NOT run from friends in need. I learned a long time ago that helping others makes me feel better about myself. I would do almost anything for a friend in need because I never want to be 'that' person, you know? On the flip side, you have to watch for those friends who take advantage of others kind natures. I have been walked all over by people like that too. It sucks.

Here's an excerpt from one of my favorite poems: [i]"Finding a true friend isn't easy Some are snobby and some are sleazy [b]They come and go as they always do Claiming that they'll always be there for you[/b] They say they never leave you stranded But you always end up empty-handed [b]Having someone you can talk to And finding out that they're talking bad about you[/b]"[/i] That basically sums up what most "friends" are! I guess this is one of the reasons why I became a loner.

Your "friends" see you as a friend with benefits... Move on, there are plenty of genuine people out there who can be true friends...

if they are your true friends then they will help out if you real need help. it should not matter what kind of help you need.but to many friends think they are going to be taken advantage of so, they just do not help.

Friends should always help each other. But don't expect that to any of your friends. If they refuse not to help it you must accept it. Maybe they have their reason. It doesn't mean that you are not his/her friend. Friends are meant to be for happy and sad so we should always help our friends.

in the first place,if these people don't help you in the time of need,then they are not your friends.friends should help each other.friendship is proven upon the time of need.if they don't,they're just fair-weather people who uses other to get what they want.

As it goes without saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed . We may have many friends but only a few are ture friends . We should treasure friends who help us when we need help because they are the ture friends . And keep away from friends who don't give you a favour when you turely need help .Maybe they just know receive and forget to give .
