things that really aggravate me

I met my best friend in 5th grade we basically grew up together. I knew everything about her and her family. She came from a lower middleclass background just like me. As we got older we were such good friends I thought nothing could split us up. I introduced her to my cousin who was rich and owned his own company, They hit it off! I got married and she was my maid of honor, She married my cousin and I was in her wedding, I had my daughter and she was there to help me, She had her son and I was there. Then the money got to her. She began acting as if I was no longer good enough to hang out with her, ridiculous! I was so mad!~ One day she even had the nerve to tell me to get a bettercar because she wouldn'y drive around in mine anymore! She ended up leaving My cousin and Moving to OHIO... I have not seen her since.... Isn't it sad? I thought we would be friends forever. Now I have a hard time getting new firends I guess I am afraid of their loyalty

This is sad... your friend is making choices that will eventually rob her, when she finds the things she's chosen flow trough her fingers like sand and she bypassed the most important things in life, namely people, and not worldly success, fame, or money. You may have to be content to keep her in your lifetime prayers. You will have her back eventually :))

This people are the one's who don't look at where they came from, they never value friendship when they get want they've wanted. They manipulate anothers that they think they can have use of and neglect the one's they think they are threatened of. I have a friend like that also, but I have my pride and never wasted my time on him anymore. I'd rather be with someone else than continue befriending him, I can't stand seeing myself having an altercation with him. I have my own way of thinking, "I have nothing to lose, but everything to gain."

Money is power. It takes a strong person to not be affected in some way when they become successful. There is a maxim that says "to be successful, surround yourself with successful people. Perhaps this person does not see in you the same drive for success and wealth that they believe they need to be around. Consider yourself lucky you found out sooner rather than later.

Well it Happens Almost 90 Percent People of The World. Success Bites Make People Fly High That,They Never Wanna Come Down on The Ground. Only Few Peoples are There in The World Who Do Not Change Even After They Suceed. As For Who Have Been Biten by Success are Always are Afraid to Get Failurein Them. So They Change a Lot and ll Keep On Changing.

i'm sorry to hear that..I agree...maybe your friend did'nt just realize that she lost a true friend while gaining success. I'm lucky with my friends, we became friends ever since elementary and still are. We all now have work and we still get in touch and meet ones or twice a month.

I have always wondered how people can be like this. All it takes is for something major to happen to them, and they could be right back where they were, and if they have chosen to be mean, and non supportive, and judgemental, etc. who will be there to help them? I have never understood this, and Hope that if I ever came into money I would want to help out the Less fortunate and help them to gain a better life as well. I feel when they act better than anyone else, they are often only hurting themselves in the long run, and forgot where they came from. I am Glad there are people like Oprah Winfrey who have done well in life, but never forget the less fortunate either, and where she came from.

It doesn't happen to everyone, some still remain the same, but it's sad.

We must be careful about befriending someone coz they might hurt us. It also happened to me. I was used by most of my friends coz i easily trust them. I always give things they want. i've noticed that they were just using me as a means of climbing one step higher on a ladder until they can get what they want. I am so generous to friends,but now,not at all. They landed a good job just because of me,but i didnt ask them in return. Those are people with high regards on their self. They dont know where they come from. They even forget or ignore your past relationship as friends.I guess they are those selfish people who thinks of themselves 1st than thinking about your welfare.

That is sad when people become successful and forget who their true friends are. And you are right, you should be nice on the way up the ladder because you never know when you will be coming back down again.

I can understand undergoing now.Even i had been times like that and i used to question like this only.Then after some time i left it.I left them to themselves and would talk tto them if they came across me.I simply used to kkep myself busy and wait for them to realize what they have done.And if they return it's well and good but if they dont then also its well and good as i have better people in my life to care about who have the love and time for me. And as for the burning bridges is considered i would say its never justified to burn bridges.

I know exactly what you mean. I also have several former friends that I think of as social climbers. They love to mention the names of other friends, along with their titles to impress you. Like, "We had Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the doctor and his wife, over for dinner the other night." I always thing, "Who cares?" I used to be a school teacher. I have heard this one friend refer to me as, Mrs. G, she's a teacher, you know...... It makes me wonder if they think they aren't important unless they know other important people.

You know this hurt me, It's so bad to be like this. "Friend in need is afriend indeed" but in most cases by experience you can mark this kind of people and easily deal with them as they need their belongs and that's all you can do the same with them.

That's kinda sad and I believed your story. It also happens even here in the Philippines. I just hate people who are like that. My mother always tells me that I shouldn't get mad at them and hate them but instead I should pray for them because they don't know what they're doing. I know it hurts because that person is your friend. I agree with you that we should and must not forget where we came from especially the people who have been there for us thru thick and thin.

what;s up this

friends should never change just because they have more money or are wealthier then you are

I have personally had this happen...I am sorry for you.Money & position in peoples lives shouldn't make them act different but most the time it does, not all the time. You're right about burning bridges,a person shouldn't...never know when you might need to return on it. Have a nice day anyway, okay? :)
