Many times, I get experiences from other people that though we are their good friends, they become selfish and forget our friendship..., forget all happy moments just because of a single misunderstanding. Why this is so...?? Friends...Please reply to this. I am waiting for your valuable response.

There are really people in this world that do not forgive a lot. They find it hard to accept that other people are not perfect and can commit mistakes. I think its best that you should talk to your friend and try to settle things out because as you have said you have happy moments together. If you have done something wrong then maybe your friend just wants you to ask for an apology.

This happens often. I think this is just a way of trying not to cope with the actual problem. I've been in this situation a number of times. If its not me and my friend having a fallen out over differences, its me and my sister. Women who are strong minded will butt heads ever so often. This is all understandable to me. So when a misunderstanding does happen its just best to give space, but rest assure that things would be back to normal sooner than later. At least this is how things works out for me.

Welcome to Mylot! In my humble opinion, this has something to do with personal changes. Each chapter of our life can make one change his choices of peers. In fact, i tend to believe that people really do come and go. But then, there are those who stay not because they had no choice but they felt that the friends that they have kept are trustworthy and knows them already too well. If you knew someone who has forgotten your friendship, just keep this in mind: at least, they had been your friends for some time and had been a part of your joy.

I do not speak a word with any of my friends ... no matter what when i'm worried or feeling a bit low.Neither of my friends misunderstood me coz they're aware of me ... importantly they know me completely.As of those who hold grudges over silly stuff .. they aren't that clever.Great day.

Communication is often the best solution for this kind of happenings. Misunderstandings between friendships shouldn't ruin it, otherwise I'm afraid that the friendship is not really genuine. :/

Welcome! I think most people don't know the true meaning of friendship. Most people are all about themselves and don't really care who they hurt when it's all said and done. As long as they come out ahead. Friendship is a give and take. A single mistake shouldn't end a true friendship. Unless it involves a spouse and a friend. I suppose this would be where I would draw the line. I've experience a friendship lost over a simple misunderstanding. Of course, I now know it was for the better anyway. I've come across this person 10-years later and wonder why I was friends with her to begin with. She's not very nice, honest or friendly. You would think after 10-years she could move on. Not the case. Best Wishes!

People are basically selfish, self serving and shallow for the most part. A valuable response would be truthful hopefully. I think in a lot of cases people are basically not really friends. We use the word loosely and really over use it. The human frailty of most is a scarey proposition at best. Real friendship comes from respect and a history.

The only answer what I have is:It was a missunderstanding right? So they probleby think the same like you do. They are hurt like you are. So I think the only way to fix that comunication. You must speak together to fix that. You dont wonne loose a real good friend only for a missunderstanding right?
