It's always nice to have a "friend" that you thought was really a true friend. But when you hear from other people what they say behind your back, and tell stories, not a good thing. That's friend #1.
Then there's the friend that only needs you when something is wrong. You always know when everything is good in their life, because they don't call you... because they don't need anything. Usually, a guy is involved. That's friend #2.
Then, there's the friend that tries to become another part of your body. Attached at the hip... so much that it's sickening, and you have to say "back off". lol
That's friend #3.
Where are the normal people out there? Ha!

crissy92,
Yes there are a lot of friends like these. I also experienced all types of friends that you have mentioned. It's not easy find true friends, it really needs the test of time to identify who your true friends are. Some friends can lead you to good and some that can lead you to bad. That's why I choose my friends. I can only count them with my fingers. I'd rather have few true friends than many false friends.

I can certainly relate. I had what I thought was a true everytime my husband and I and our children would have something planned they always invited themselves and we had to pay for them. Plus they would want to come and stay for 3 or 4 days at a time and eat us out of house an home. Plus my friends boyfriend had stolen my husband's medicine. Everytime we would do something with them we would have to pay their way or buy their food or whatever. Now dont get mean wrong I dont mind helping people and occasionaly footing the bill but knowing that we have 5 children and all we have to live on is my husband's VA pension REALLY? Then when my husband and I finally got tired of it and put a stop it I seen a post from her boyfriend on facebook calling us fools and bad mouthing else and everything else. Yeah he's right about one thing we were fools alright. Sometimes I wonder the same thing I don't "normal" exsists anymore lol.

I think true friend is not exist in the world. Not effect on my life of my friends because I make friend only for talking and laughing no close friends.

Sorry to hear that most of your friends seem to bother you in some way. I hope that you will be able to make more friends to your likening. We are all imperfect and at times do get on one another's nerves. Hopefully though things will get better in your relationships.

Some people don't have any friends at all, be thankful for the ones you have, but just watch your back. I think we all have the above and even a few variations in between. I have family that is worse then any friend I could imagine, but that is a whole other story.

Well I guess that is why the saying goes 'keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer' lol. And what is normal? But yes can totally relate to this post, because having just lost what I thought was a 'true friend' was obviously not.
I wonder why people feel the need to break a good friendship, use and abuse. I can count my good friends on one hand and that is good enough for me.

I have encounter the last quality in a friend of mine ( attach to the hip) , my friend is just calling and texting me for no reason if we are apart . Whenever I get a text my family would say my friend name without even seeing the message lol .

I have had all 3 types of friends in my life and i have gotten rid of them all by not calling them chatting with them online etc. I only have about 6 really close friends and out of that only 3 best friends that are like sisters to me and i'm fine with that, because id rather have a few close true friends than a bunch of so called friends that talk behind your back and such.

In this world, there are so many types of people. That is what make it interesting. If people are all the same then life would be boring. It's fortunate that we have a choice as to who we can call a friend.
You can't choose who your parents and your siblings are but you can certainly choose who to be friends with. So choose wisely. It's better to be alone than to be in the company of friends who talk behind your back or friends who only call you when they're in trouble.
