How many Friends do you have?

good for you that you never experience the pain of being neglected by the people who you treated and cared too much, I think that works too. Be friendly to anyone but never give your trust easily as others may take advantage of you then leave you at the end. Thanks for sharing :)

glad to know that anischity, i am the same as you do, but sad to say some friend betrayed me and show their true colors in times when you needed them the most, i think, I just have to be more wiser whom to trust. :)

i've lost alot of close friends and it was a sad time for me. a friend who was very dear to me (like a younger brother) came to our house and stayed for a few hours. we talked and played some games and i thought everything was fine. two days later his sister says that he's talking about killing himself. when i called him he wouldn't even answer my call and i thought he may need some space (i heard he was with his aunt) and i did but when i called again he answered... and let me know he didn't want to speak to me and that oneday he'd explain what happened when he was ready. it's been two years and no word from him but alot of people see him and tell me he's doing ok. i don't know what happened in those two days but i apologized to him because i must not have been a good enough friend if he couldn't come to me and talk about whatever was really bothering him that day.

hi welcome to mylot. look if you do not help others in return'how can you expect them to always helo you? friendship is really a two way street as you are in need and ask for help and your'friends help you.but then they need help and you are not there for'them what do you expect? real friends look out for each oth er'all the time.even family that help you and help you but you are not ar around to help back soon they feel you are not really a fri end but just a user.

i never close my heart and door to friendship, I am a person who can easily be with. I never want to make friends just to have something in return for when I started to be friend with you, I am loyal, true and will be with you thru ups and downs, whenever you need me, as much as I can. someone whom you can talk to, but I guess, I just need to be very careful next time on who I can really trust.

lampar you are the mostlovely person and forgiving them wonderful.they were fair weather friends while you had money'and somne prestige.You still have prestige in my eyes.

It is supposed to be this way, my friend! At least in my mind, once upon a time, they are my friends, so they are always my friends in my heart no matter they avoid me or not recognize me now. My heart will have no hatre on them and will only allow friendship and fond memory to remain even though they may not have the same sentiment.

Hatley I totally agree with you lampar have a good forgiving heart, my parents used to be very wealthy when I was a kid, I can see many people going in and out of our house, eating, socializing and being so close pretending TRUE friends with my parents, but when our house burned and we started to fall, I can see how things have changed, the so-called TRUE friends were disappearing one by one, and I know how this hurts my parents, especially my mother, they were very generous that time, will help people as long as they can, but they show their true color in times of troubles, I still remain friendly also, but based from my experiences, I only choose whom I can fully trust. :) happy mylotting y'all

you are right, they will show what they really worth in times when you needed them the most, but I still believe that there are really GOOD friends that will remain faithful and caring for you. you just have to learn how to separate the fake ones to the real ones. :)

I had a friend like that, I helped her with all my might, all that I can share and give. only to find out that she's making gossips behind my back, and just took me for granted when I suffered financially, when I have money I even helped her to go abroad. Now that I am having trouble (but I am not borrowing any money from them) they just disappeared. Even the moral support you are expecting from them, someone to talked to about your problems, they just fade away. I'd rather have few good/close friends who will always there for me no matter what, rather than having a lot fake friends. :) thanks for sharing

Yeah you're right! Good for you that you never experience this one, it is really painful to think that they left you in times that you needed them the most (not in terms of borrowing money but as a moral support advice and someone you can lean on). When I was financially stable, (even when I was a kid where we have money) I am very generous to other people, I want to help them as much as I can. Many wants to be friend with me (aside from I know to myself that I am kind to others). Until the reality strikes, Now I know who remain and who you can really trust to. You should treasure a friend like that, they're one in a million :)

I have some friend s too.But most of the are the ordinary friends.I find it difficult to find a intimate friend who would be sitll with me even though I owned nothing

Good for you Hatley, you know how to separate them :) LOL! nowadays, we really need to know how to see someone whom you can really, fully trust, not all of our friends can be trusted

I also have a friend that lives very far from me, but even though we're apart, I know how true she is, we communicate very often, if one has an issue/problem, it's just one text or call away.

yes, it is not bad to be friendly, but I agree that having less friends but good ones is cool, you don't need to have a lot of friends only to find out some of them are fake and back stabber. I still have good friends remaining, but I am more careful now whom I trust, because some of them broke it already. :)

Very true as the people u try to jump on u , surely gave something wrong in there mind. I also have true friends which r my childhood one. Before msking friend we should think twice as now days people think of themself only . When they need us they will be friendly and other then ...............

a true friend will remain even in the most down and worst situation of your life, financially and emotionally. They may not help you solve regarding money, but they will stay with you on the most problematic time of your life, someone to talk to. I do this to my friends, and some do this for me as well, just sad to say that some will show their true color if they know you can't be use of them anymore, just be careful :)

you are very true with that, and we should identify the true friend we have that we can treasure forever, to those who are just being there if you can give them something in return or you can be use of them. Glad that you have friend like that. :)

it is really painful to know that the one whom you trust and love so much will only stab you behind your back, I think we just need to be more careful on choosing the right one, in case it will be their lost, not ours. for they lost a good friend in us.

I am sorry to hear that happened to you also, don't loose hope, you'll find a true and trusted friend sooner, they really exists :) we just be very careful next time whom we can really trust.

Don't worry, this is a friendly site, you'll get a lot of friends here sooner, welcome to mylot. :)

You don't have to close your door to a true friendship whom you can also trust, but just be very careful just trusting anyone. It is so painful when you discover that the one you love like a sister/brother will only back stab you. I still remain friendly to everyone, but now I know who are true friends.
