When Friends Become Strangers

when friend become strangers.. then they were not friends at all. this is sad trust and betrayed. no i have not experienced so far and I am glad. I am very choosy and selective to friends, I ended up having my sisters as my friends. LOL. we can fight but we can never ever betray each other.

Yes, it happened to me, too, with one of my best friends from childhood. I was the first to back out from this friendhip, only the reason was different from yours. She didn't betray me of any kind, when she is a friend, she's a true friend. But it came a moment when something flipped in her behavior years ago and she just stopped... showering. Yes, it's funny, but true. Then it came the moment when I just couldn't bear the smell around her anymore so I ended this friendship when I moved out of the town. Sometimes I miss our talks, but many of my friends still living in this town are telling me that things haven't changed so I avoid calling her when I visit my home town. So sad. But you're right, it hurts the most when people who you feel closest, betray you. Lie should never be forgiven.

Yup! I experience that thing, friend. Those called friend is a fake friend because they only our friend when we have money or something. When their lives being uplifted and be a little rich they don't know anyone.

I have experienced once and it hurt so much particularly if you have been so close for she was even my eldest son's godmother at baptism. However it turned out later that the conflict between us was a creation of her cousin who had been jealous of our closeness and when things were cleared up we were able to patch up everything. I hope that things will turn out for the better in your case and if ever she is really guilty of this failure in your relationship be thankful you've known who she really is.

Same with me. Suddenly he became so strange and exchanged many unbelievable words. It's hard to listen to that wonder why its happening. Many of the times I am the one who approaches first who ever is the mistake. This time I don't feel like approach. Every time I see him feel like don't know how to express.how come people change suddenly.onething I can say strongly don't relay on third person words. In any relation If relationship needs to be strong you should have trust on others. Talk to her stright and then come to decision. It's so foolish to take decision on third person's words. All day you were friends and what you really understood her. Just talk to her before you take a decision. In life it's very hard to find gud and compatable people. It's very easy to lose. But hard to get.

This is pretty common most especially in childhood friendships when back then when you were still young you are pretty much close to that person and when he/she and you will turn in to mature people be it your high school or your pre-college years, it will sound kind of awkward in a way, that you have a gap between that person because he/she has grown up and you don't even know his/her interest because he/she change by time.

I've had this happen. I had a couple really good friends that i'd talk to all the time...then suddenly they wont respond to calls or messages. I get cut out of their lives completely. I had one friend that he kept saying it wasnt "just me" that he wasnt talking to anymore but our other friends are still friends with him and still communicate with him and i just gave up. I think it hurt alot when he decided he wasnt going to be my friend anymore.

Hello Ckyera, hard to believe isn't it? after years of good times and bad times, the one you thought was good has another side. I guess i wasn't so lucky, i think I've mark myself as the other guy because i couldn't afford to have close and real friends.I had some buddies but never got that close but I never mind their private businesses either. sometimes I envy those people who had friends from a very long time, specially my moms. but am happy that i got to know some of them, even though it's just a few of them. have a nice day.

Actually this situation seldom happen to me,yes there are a few friends will be disacquaintance because of the less contact,but when I see those friends occasionally we still take each other as friend,so I think the things happen to you with your friend must be very severe and can not be recover again.

I have, and until now I am asking myself what went wrong. We've been friends since college, and the 3 of us are always together even during school breaks. When we got married, we still make it a point to see each other every now and then, most especially on Christmas. But all of a sudden, she just stopped talking to me. She even deleted me on Facebook so there's no way that I can contact her anymore. She also changed her number. After a while, I saw that she's still friends with our common friend and I am kinda feeling awkward and uncomfortable now to initiate conversation. I did send her one message during the holidays and to date I haven't gotten a response back. It is sad, and frustrating because we never had any misunderstanding before, or if I have done something that offended her, I wasn't made aware.

Yeah sure, my best friend turned into an a** years ago. After several weeks of bumping into each other during that "cold war" period, I got so tired of her attitude so I called it quits. Friends are supposedly there to take as in with our entirety, a shoulder to cry on so on and so forth..but ours ended just like that but sometimes I still think of the time when we'll suddenly meet, how would I handle that?

Yes, I also have a friend like that. I have my friend when I was still in elementary and I considered her before as my best friend but then when we reached our high school and college she changed and became very distant with me. I was not surprised for that being happened because she is rich and of course her friends are rich also. She had already her own circle of friends and me as well. Despite what had happened between us, we are still communicating in Face Book but not that so close already.

Hi ckyera. You may call it a gift. But so far all the friends I have made were completely reliable and trustworthy. It does not mean that I have never met any bad people in life. However, I was able to recognize them beforehand and never actually became friends with them. In your case I am glad that you were able to recognize your friend's true nature before it was too late.. Anyways have a nice day !! SuperShames

Yes,it also happened with me.It was the day when i was in my training persiod in another city which is two days long journey from my home town. There i used to live in a hostel with my friends.We were very close friends.He shared his problems with me and i told him to think positive.It's a secret matter and i can't write those things.But i told me many times,but he used to querl with me and at last i have sifted to a hotel nearby.And after completion of the training,i returned back to my home and now i behave him like a stranger.He now thinks that he has done wrong.He realized it,but i don't want to believe those guy any more.

I have left friends (and friends have left me) during my long life. But most of the times it has nothing to do with terrible confrontations but we just grew apart and got other interests. I had some very nice friends when my kids were growing. They had kids too and that was a common interest. But now my group of friends has to do with the interest I have now, as an older person.

hello amiga, I do. I found my highschool bestfriend in Facebook 4 years ago and I am so happy. I sent her friend's request and she accepted it after a month. I started sending her messages but she never replied even once. Then I started feeling strange and ask some of our common friends (highschool friends) about my bestfriend and I found out that she changed a lot. One of my old classmates told me that my bestfriend becomes "arrogant"' I feel bad and sad- and after a year I deleted her from my friend's lists. Until now I am still thinking about her- how money can make people changed. Have a great weekend there dear amiga

Sorry to hear that things have become this bad. I understand what you mean though. Our time and our life is precious. So we don't want to waste it on individuals who don't care about us and those who hurt us. It tough to make those types of decisions. It is in our best interest though that we look after ourselves.

Way back in College, we are four in a group. But then, the friendship worn out without no reason at all. Thinking that they are across the country, it seems the weather in abroad is different; they changed drastically.

Yeah I've had friends that have become strangers. Except the reason is a little different. It was mainly due to us growing apart because I moved to another country. At first we would keep in touch and it was like we were still friends but then we just got caught up in our lives around us that we talked less and less. Now we don't really talk at all, it's like we've forgotten about each other but I know that I at least still remember.

I'm glad that you shared this one and I'm responding because I've faced these things. Starting with a friend of mine, not actually closest but she was my classmate for two years. She failed to pass the 12th grade final exams and to my knowing she failed in the next year too. One day when I was coming back from a shop, I saw her but surprisingly she passed by me pretending like she didn't saw me, the next time again I saw her, that time she was with their relatives, might be..the moment she saw me from a far of distance she just made her busy in her phone and passed by as if she didn't saw me..it was strange as I was hoping to talk with her but she had her reasons..only she knows.that was like in 2010. Just a couple of days back, I was going to my cousin bro's home and I just saw her again, this time it was more closely and more suddenly as it was turn road where I was going and she was coming, strangely she might have thought how to react but eventually she moved on as if she doesn't know me. It was just one of the instances from a few of mine's, but I do really hate this..I mean what's in talking, it's fine if you don't wanna talk,at least behave as a known person rather than pretending as an unknown.
