With polite indifference. I'm still civil and courteous, but make no efforts on their behalf apart from that. A polite "hello" or "goodbye" when I see them, and that's it. The company you surround yourself with plays a large part in who you actually are, as a person. Do you want to be a caustic, manipulative person like that? Of course not, so remove yourself from them - but maintain civility.

There are some who was just for the using thing. How will I deal with that? First and foremost, I make sure that I will talk to them and tell them what I feel. I have learned an approach which can be helpful. I have watched it from the television. According to that tv show, you can say everything you feel. Just use words appropriately. Use personal pronoun (I) instead of you, they,etc. It is because it might seem to show that you are blaming others. If negotiation will not work, I will start not being friends with them anymore. Well, I am not saying that I will tell them that I don't like them as my friends anymore. It is just that little by little, I will be setting parameters from them. And if situation of using me occurs, I will probably not allow that. I will refuse to do it. Then, if worst cases happen, I will definitely talk to them immediately and settle things to avoid a bigger problem.

well, i dont know but there were times that i felt i was been used up by my friends.sometimes i feel so bad that i'll stop communicating to them, but there are also times that i realize that i miss them and their USING of me as a friend.. well, i guess people use other people for some purposes.there are two kinds of uses and their reasons though, the negative and the positive...i hope the way your friends have used you is in a good way..not the other way around.

I've experienced being used by a friend and it really hurts because it's just exaclty as you said. I did favors for her, cared for her and trusted her adn it hurts when finally you realized that she isn't valuing the things that you've done for her. When this happens, I usually just keep my mouth shut because I don't like throwing back in her face all the things that I have done for her because when I do that I am not really expecting for anything in return but her sincerity and honesty. I just keep quiet but I make sure that I learned my lesson. I just wouldn't be the same friend that she had if ever we'd still be friends at all. I'll just let Karma do its work.

A friend, did this to me some time last year. Learn to let of of the bad memories that hurt..they do, and learn not to take anyone at face value. Distance them from your life and move on. Put it down to an experience of live and living n learn from it...

hmm i feel very bad firstly ......but i know its in my nature to be a sort of idealistic in nature and i won't spoil my rules i don't think much react it spontaneously.....

I will suddenly feel cold or have a cold treatment towards her. I don't like to be plastic to her. I'll just be civil to her/jim but I'll not let him/her be close to me since i know that she/he has an ulterior motive and that is to use me.
