When you are not around, are your friends looking for you?

I know for a fact that most of mine don't. At least, they didn't used to. For example: on the fourth of July weekend, our town has a party by the lake. All kinds of food, entertainment, and then fireworks. Most years, my family went up to my dad's family's reunion on that weekend. My friends asked one or two years if I could come, but after that, they just got used to it being a no, I guess. Once, a few years back, we had the family reunion a week early, so I would FINALLY get to go to the thing! My friends knew I was in town, at least I thought they did. I waited by the phone ALL DAY. I did NOTHING but wait for a call from one of the SIX friends that goes every year to invite me to come along. Two o'clock rolls around, and I'm still sitting by the phone, still hopeful that someone will call. Four hits, and I'm doubting a little bit, but trusting that my friends will remember me. Finally, it's nine thirty, and I get up off the chair I had set next to the phone, went to my room, and just cried. Nobody remembered that I was in town. I had talked to most of them the day before, and nobody had mentioned me coming with them at all. Here it is, three years from that, and I've still never gone, because nobody's invited me along, and I don't want to show up by myself. Sometimes, friends just suck.

yes, it does feel good when friends come asking for you. once, i don't go to school because of flu, which is very rare, cause i have full attendance for a few years. my friends come to my room asking if i'm ok and such. it shocked me, because usually when we are together, they don't really show concern for me. but when i'm gone, they seek me. well, that happened a while back.

My friends are not like that how lucky of you. Maybe they just know who really am i. Like i am the one voluntarily who calls them and tells them what happen. Maybe i am one of that kind who wants to share everything with them. Although of course i know my limitations when it comes to sharing. I hope you can really say what you want like the frequent need of privacy or "my" time

hi job, yess there are times when I feel like just being alone...BUT most of the time my real friends know where I am if not what I am doing..I love my friends and I would normally let them know whats going on because if an emergency occcurs I would want someone to know my whereabouts. But when I don't have that feeling like converating, I have no problem letting my real friends know that I am just feeling blah and don't feeling like chating..I don;t expect any hard feelings from that because my real friends know me and visa versa..we do respect each others wishes.. I do believe you should be able to let your real friends know anything especiall some as simple as having a bad day..

It's a nice feeling to be cared about and to see that there are people from whom you are that important that they feel bad just because you are not there. I have a best friend, who is always caring about me, but she understand when I need air and a personal sphere. I'm glas to have her.

yes it feels great when you have friends who are very much concerned about your whereabouts. it makes you feel secured that you have somebody around you who cares for you and who matters for you very much. They just try to make you feel special with their concern. Lucky are those people who have such doting and caring friends around them.

i don't know about your friends but you might be right that they are just naturally concerned and all. may be they don't trust you to be alone because you often end up into trouble. i had a friend that we did leave her alone and the whole student body was asking ask what on earth had happened to her. all of a sudden she misses her class, and when she does go she seems like she a wreck her hair is in tangled. she don't participate in group projects and yes she was using us as her excuse. we are members of a student publication in a University and we have no idea that she was using us. the publication might suffer a wrong impression to the student body, especially journalism students. so yes it wasn't a friendly thing to do but hey she was like gone crazy over the boyfriends who cloud blame her. ever since that indecent we always keep an eye on her. i even end up sleeping in her room sometimes when she has school works just to make sure is will make them and not sneak out with the boyfriend and end up flanking her studies. we love her so we step in sometimes. and we don't want her to use as an excuse. people, especially friends tend to be protective sometimes it's how we watch each others back. other than her studies we never intrude it's non of our business anymore.

I feel the same but most of my friend are not annoying. They know I need some peace and solitude when I am not around of not making any sound like texting or sending messages or when I am offline with social sites. Thanks, they are sensitive. But there are other people- not so close friends who keeps on bugging when they don't saw me online or did not drop any message. As if- hello...do I have to announce all my task and activities..:xxx

Oh, why I think that you stole my mind? Well I do know why - because I feel the same way sometimes! It all depends on my mood, of course, but sometimes friends who are asking same and same questions which were interesting for me and I was answering without any problem, all of that gets boring. I just need time for myself, without being asked why, what do you do and so on, even asked from my closest friends.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.Its true that we cannot live without friends. I always like making new friends,sparing my lesuire time with my friends. Friendship is relation where we can share happiness,emotions,etc. I will be greatly suprised to see any one of my friends while i am in outside.I like to be along with my friends
