what is a friend? i know, they're the ones that's always with you, even through hardships. they help you overcome obstacles together. share your life with them and enjoy life together.
but recently, i found myself lonely, alone. yes, i'm with them always but that's that. i'm just with them, it's just physical. the friendship, it looks like i'm an outsider. once, when i tried to talk, they're not noticing me, busy talking to each other. once, i called someone and she ran away.
what should i do in situations like this? please help?

That's a very good question, what is a friend? I'm not sure I know! Nearly all the people who I thought were my friends (and some family) actually betrayed me and helped my ex-fiancee get away with living a double life. They were inviting down their house knowing that their cousin was going to my house while I was out and sleeping with her, then texting him to let her know when I was on my way home. What is a friend eh? Can anyone be trusted?

Well, you should fit with them and you could bond with them if you want them to be your friends, by making a friends there's always a risk of making friends.A friend is a person that you could ask for guide and advice. You really know what friend's is if their loyal to you and honest. the best key of being a friend is honesty it is the way of making a friend longer.

I think I am sort of feeling the same way about my friends and the people around me. I am feeling disconnected. Even though we spend time together it just doesn't seem like we are on the same level.
A friend is all of what you said. Sometimes we have different levels of friends. Like someone you just met and like you can call them a friend. Then we have good friends, best friends, friends we mise well call siblings. I have no siblings and was never close with my parents either. So the feeling of loneliness I understand. I don't understand how I could be feeling it with so many wonderful people around me. A great husband, two daughters, friends, but?? I am with you on this feeling. What to do to fix it I am still working on it :) I will let you know if I come across a solution to reconnect. It's literally like a clipped wire..and I don't know which one.

thanks..like you, i don't really know what makes us lonely even with the people around us. maybe it's because we seek for comfort from them, though they can't notice it. i'm even more close on people that i've recently met and never seen in person...
thank you for the response.,good luck to us..

What is a friend will be best understood by the famous age-old proverb which goes as, a friend in need is a friend indeed. As for your problem, I would suggest you to ignore them because ignorance is the best policy to treat these so called friends.

the more wisdom you collect the more that question goes away - at least that is what I read when you are truly yourself and know yourself you just make fewer mistakes and will be better at identifying who are your friends , because they either are or are not , it's either you or them ... believe in yourself and everything will clear out
