Friends?

For me, I never believe in real friends. A real friend can betray you and he or she will be your enemy later once there is a conflict of interest. No one can be trusted in my life. There is nothing for me to be sad because of not having real friends. There is something for me to be glad when I realize that I am the only one can be trusted. Let's be independent in very judegment we do.

hello nicregi. sorry to hear that u do not have any close friend. i do not know how old are you and about your marital status. if you are forty plus there is some chance you might lose some friends due to marital status as every one busy with their family and work. so may be there s no time to meet regularly. may be some of them are like what u say, just for money, fame and reputation. but not every one. there are quite true friends who ready to share with us. it all depends upon time and our work as well as our family situation. hope u get some good friends as you expecting.

It's not so bad not having friends. There is no way to ever really really know another person. I thought I had one great friend for over 10 years. Then a couple of years ago she totally betrayed me. Now I have acquaintances, neighbors, church family and online connections but I don't think I can invest so much of me in any more 'friendships'. But I'm satisfied. I have my books, my hobbies, my cat and my computer so I stay busy enough. Most all of my emotional investment is put into myself anymore.

When I was young and un married I had a lot of friends. Really they were good. Now I have no contacts with them. but I have sweet memories of them. Now i am married and a busy house wife. Now I am not in need a good friend. I have friends. But not much intimate. Just give helps and get helps. Now I am in my forties. I don't seek a shoulder to lean when I am sad and depressed. I got a habit to pray to God when I need to be comforted. now a days I don't expect much from others. So having no good friends is not a problem to me. But now I have a lot mylot friends, who make me so happy.(including you)

I have friends but they come and go, some remember me some don't But I have a friend that really stick with me wherever I go..she keep in touch, she called me and send me gifts..I might not be perfect for her but I did love her as my friend. we always give and take.. Maybe you need to go out and see the real world so you can find good friends. I bet you spend more time with cyber world..that's why? lol..am I right?

What are you saying about? :) You got a lot of friends here. Though we never meet each other, all mylotters are your friends. Me too, I can hardly find a good friends in real life. Just one or two, the rest are boot-lickers. I can live my life though. That's fine for me. I just need God in life. Happy day my friend! Never think you're alone!

I have quite a few real life friends, I have a lot more online friends, but that's because the online world is a lot larger than real life!

it shouldn't matter in the first place, people are hardly ever real :/ more the friends, lesser is the probability of you having a friend :p and dont look for good things, ok! or you might not be able to recognize the beauty of friendship when you find it, also when your are more mature you'll learn that friend word is far above its superficial meaning and its ok if you dont have a friend, cous you might have one you just dont realise.. i never had any friends cous i never steppe dout of my house, my friends kinda betrayed :p n blala so now i have a friend or i think he is a friend, best friend, but i hardly wanna trust him or think about it , cous seriously time would tell its only been 3 years..till then i'm my best friends, cous may be lifes much more then all this..

I'm in a similar situation. In real life I have very few friends, and in general very limited social life. I try hard to talk to others but it's hard to me as I'm very shy. I get in touch with my co-workers and other know people, but that can be called true friends. Speaking of online, I'm much more comunicative and with more "friends" than outside, but really real life friends are much better.

True friends are really hard to come by. It takes some trial and error before u know who are your real friends. It takes some pain in order to learn. For true friends, they won't leave u alone when u need them most. As for other friends who shun u upon learning that u are in trouble, it's best to cut off all ties with them. After all, friends started out from being strangers, and mylot is a good place for u to start making new friends.

I think that there are some great people on this site, some i know as i see them some i have never met, but i would love to meet.I would rather have a few good friends than friends that are cruel and back stabbers as you are never relaxed around people like that.I had people that i thought were good friends and they were the types of friends that i could do without.I have some really good friends, but there are a few that i still do not trust, so having alot of friends is not always a good thing.

yes, that's absolutely right. Good friends are hard to get because a good friend not so much in this world there are probably only a few. and get a good friend it is not easy because they are also thought to not want to get a friend who used to be let alone friends who do not clear. trust me on that one ay you will definitely get what you want is a true friend.

I have many friends online and real world.After joining in myLOT last week, I have been active here and everyone is adding me in their MyLOT account.I'm happy.

I have tons of friends offline and online just be your self and try and fit in!

Oh it is the same with me. I have a lot of frens in the past but due to some jealousy and competing they all stay away from me. I think don't give up and I can be you friend too! HAVE A NICE DAY

Hi nicregi, I know how you feel. In this realistic world, everybody does what benefits them most and can even go to the extreme for it. Sadly, this has become such a serious matter with the society now. Well, same as you, I only have one very close friend, who understands me well and he doesn't get full of himself and doesn't stick to me for money or what. I also have 4 other friends in polytechnic who are very good to me and same as my close friend, they don't stick to me because of money or any other things. They are quite pure and don't have evil motives. However, there are a lot of my other classmates, who try to bootlick those students who are good in their studies. They will say until how good he is and stick to him forever when in fact, they just want the good student's notes and when that good student does badly or what, those bootlickers will leave them. This is the truth nowadays. I also cannot accept the fact that there are so many such people in this society, not sticking to their own principles but trying to give false compliments to other people who are better than them, trying to make them feel good. Sad indeed

My best friend is also my husband. We met in 2001 on the internet and have been friends all of this time, though coming up on being married five years in March. I am a stay at home mom, and finishing my thesis so I do not really go anywhere save shopping and so forth. I actually do not have any friends offline outside of my husband. It is simply because I don't actually go anywhere and we live in area with very few people who follow the same spiritual path that we do. However, that said, I have a lot of really good friends online. Some of us hope to actually meet offline when we have time and finances, but for now online works for us. Through the internet I have met so many fantastic people who I have developed very intimate relationships with and consider family. Namaste-Anora
