It is hard to find a true friend, or a friend that you can really trust.I know what it is like to be let down by a friend and I know what it is like for a friend to change to a person that is never be trusted. I try now to keep things to myself, rather than tell people what is going on in my life, or what is on my mind. The only person that I know I can trust is myself.

hi, i have many friends but i could say that only 3 percent of my 100 friends only used me because for their benefits and intention,because i only trust my friends when they showed their sincerity as my friends,and when i have notice that they only use me then i will avoid them.

It is not always like that. Sometimes circumstances also force to turn face from a helpful friend. Also, it may be a temporary phase of life or mind. I think if I am a real friend of someone, I will try to find out the real reason somehow. If truly the friend avoids me, I will think that it was my mistake to choose a friend rightly. I will be more careful in future as far as making friendship is concerned.

I am a lot older and so I don't have friends who are users as soon as I think one is one I drop them as a friend.

People are more self-centered these days, it is the nature of the world. Friendship is a one way street at times and bears very little meaning beyond someone to be used for your own personal gratification. Loyalty is limited. You have to remember that it isn't about you, it's about the other person (in their mind at least). Express how you feel, it won't have much effect but at least you will have had your say.

Hello my friend iola2012 Ji, Well, the greatest pinch we get from our well known friends/relatives. Ity is un-bearable. Whom we call as foes cause less pain. So identify such characters around you, before they punch you. May God bless You and have a great time

it wasnt friends that used us but family for several years living with us most of 4 years put very little in the house and paid no bills now on thier own working and doing pretty good its like pulling nails to get them to help with work we mighthave around the house here act like they dont know how1

To get down to basics we all have hidden agendas in every action we take. Many times we are fooled into thinking we do something only to benefit someone else, but belive me, we get a benefit out of it, even if we don't think about it. The thing is you got a benefit out of choice of this friend and maybe it wasn't so evident as why they chose you. Really good friendships in which both give and take are accepted by both are very hard to come by. So if you get one of these keep it tight, but allow all others to come and go and just enjoy them in the moment and be happy you have something to give them. Blessings

There are some people who pretend themselves as friend to achieve their selfish design. After achieving their goal they change their attitude. So be careful to make friend. Don't be used by others.

I have been by alot of friends and people I thought were my friends over the years. It has been very painful and frustrating! This is why I became a loner,for the most point. I did it out of necessary and it turns out I like it! I am alot safer that way! If I was not so sensitive I wouldn't take being hurt so personal all the time.

this is not an unusual experience and it really hurts if you been betrayed by one you consider a friend. At least you've known who they really are now.

Yes, my friend. Some people can really be like that. They only want you when they can get something from you or when they benefit from being your friend. We have to be on the lookout of people like that, lest you will get hurt in the end.

Well, I real friends that I attend, I can easily count them. In fact, I only have three! Few but good! In the past I have attended a number of people, often thought them real friends, but soon I realized that they were looking for me, especially at the time of their need. And this, I would not do! With some excuse some people have turned away from me, just letting them know that it was time to go their separate way. With these three people, most trusted friends that I attend, I have absolutely never had any problem. When possible, the exchange of favors, it is always mutual.

Don't be, at least now you know their worth. There are many people like that, pretending to be a good friend but watch out as they may bite you behind your back :( Be careful on choosing one and treasure the one who stays with you specially in times of troubles

Yes my dear friend, it is true. It is very difficult to find a real friend who is not behind getting something from you. People are lucky who have real friends. I also have many bad experiences of my friends, to whom I assumed to be friends but they turned out to be people with just having interest of having profit from me. Now a days one should be very careful before considering a person to be a friend.

I´m afraid we tend to give the title of friends to people who are mere acquaintances. Friends are there in good and bad times and usually noone can have so many. You can get your house full of people for a party, but maybe just a couple of them are what you would call real friends.

It really feels bad to realize that your so-called friends just pops up whenever everything is good. And they slowly disappear when times are tough. People like are a big disappointment.

It is really a remarkable over rated situation. We need to be careful for those people who had bad intentions. If there is only one thing I wish for, a machine that can detect the bad elements for having a true friend.
