I have learned a lot over the past few days.....

It is a very sad thing but I think it's that way because the world is a very sad place anymore I'm not old---at least I don't think so---but things have changed drastically during my lifetime and so have people I've even changed instead of handing money to someone who's hungry I'll buy food for them! a person I knew 20 years ago and thought of as a good friend recently stabbed me in the back boy did that hurt she's not my friend anymore---not the kind I used to know anyway I've only got a couple of good friends left and we'll do ANYTHING for each other I know what you are going through it hurts when someone disappoints you---especially when it's a friend but I really don't have advice except don't let it destroy you and maybe be a bit more wary of people these days

Its hard especially if you really trusted the people you call "friends". I experienced that when I was a teen and looking back those "friends" back stabbed me for personal gain. But now they are not in my life. Its better to have a few true friends rather than have a lot but nobody is true to you.

I think there are lots of friends who are not good friends and I think we need to find some good friends in our life. There might be around 5 to 10 in 100 friends that might be very good friends. I think you should go mixing friends and find some good friends. I hope you get some best friends in your lives.

There are people who use other people to gain favor or for their advantage. If they find you useful they will pretend to be nice and to be the only friend you will ever need. But when they already got what they want, they will just turn their backs at you as if they haven't met you at all. So we should be really careful in choosing our friends because we cannot really tell who are true and who are not.

well, the truth is really hard to have a good friend but we still have closed friends and have been in nice friendship for long time. All just needs a time, time will verify our friendship also and with the time you will know who is really your closed friends.

yes its so hurt when we know that someone we really trust and care are full of lies. I had some experience like that in the past. I know how you feel. Let just bury the bad memories and keep the good one.. Hope you'll find true friend

You're right when you say that a lot of people who we think that we can trust are not really there for us. I have experienced this far too many times during the course of my life where I have thought that my friends were going to be there for me but when I needed them the most they weren't. Now I make sure that nobody takes me for granted, because I know that I would do anything for my friends, and I will only ever accept others at friends who I know are going to do the same for me if I should be in need of them.

Its hard to get real friends nowadays, cause most of them get selfiss. Thats why I never get too close to someone, if I get close to someone. Its mean they really-really have to prove to deserve that. For me, best friend was the best place to share, to give and to ask. They have to qualified with all of that.

Well, speaking of friends, in theory there would soon be making a distinction, or understand what are the true friends, and which instill lie. At first glance I must say it is not easy to distinguish those categories. I am in my lifetime, I had many friends, but most of them, were seen only in time of need "them"! This is not mutual friendship, and let me say! Now, I only have three real friends, but they are really friends, help me if I'm in trouble, never abandon me. Counts at the end: few but good!

Hi! I hope you weren't too hurt! Sometimes the whole episode can be very shattering! Apparently this seems to be the new world order! Its as if the whole concept of staying by your friend's side has disappeared! Furthermore, its amazing to observe the depths to which people are willing to fall! And as if thats not enough, the depths aren't going to be considered as depths anymore, just struggles on the fallen's part to rise! Anyway, at the very least you won't have to go through it again! And next time expect nothing when doing good and take a good long time when selecting friends! Have a nice day!

i also learned this lesson just recently. i had a friend for years that i trusted with everything and then things got crazzy between us and now she has shown her true colors and she isnt the person i thought she was all these years. i also treasure every memory..we had some good times but now it is time to let this go and start new i guess. my kids were getting in the middle of this and that isnt fair to them so i agree it is almost a free feeling that i know the truth now and i no longer have to live the lie she carried on so well.
