When it comes to making friends either online or in reality there are so many risks you have to think about.
Gone are the days when you could just bump into someone in the bar and basically be friends,
What I mean by this is these days it seems everyones out for themselves Ive known quite afew people in my time
Who just use you for everything that they can get and being a good friend you dont notice that they're taking the p***
and telling lies to everyone else saying that you're using them and so on.
That's just friends in reality.
Online friends well we all know a long list of risks that goes with them.
I guess what should be said is that when making friends just be cautious weather it be online or in reality.

That is so true. We should really know how to choose real friends out there. It's scary nowadays to trust people easily. I was very naive before and I trust every single person who has good things to say to me. i thought just because they treat me well means they are true to me. But in the end they betray me.

The common obsession nowadays is not to trust anybody as a result of what has become of our society. In my days during my youth, the chances of being attacked out in the streets at night is slim compared to this day when you can be killed just for your watch or cell phone. You can be attacked w/out reason at all and worst, w/out warning.

And that is the reason why I know a lot of people, but friends with a few. Trust is something that isn't easy to come by, and for me that is something hard to bestow. I have been crushed and burned a couple of times because of friends, or people whom I thought are my friends only to have them hurt e twice over.
I have learned to protect myself because I don't wanna be totally jaded, well I am kinda jaded with the way I tend to watch out for myself, but still, I am willing to give some people a chance. Just not too much leeway that I used to give to "new friends" back when I was younger.

That's the reason why I don't like having so many friends. I'm not a friendly person and I don't care about having more. I don't need numbers of friends but quality friend. I only have few friends but I'm pretty sure they're real and they're there for me when I call. When I was younger, I used to have so many friends but just like as you said all of them were just using me. They're just being nice and kind to me because they want something from the friendship. And when they got what they want they'll just left you behind. You can make friends with anybody. But never be too kind too them.
