mscptncash Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Ah friends, hmmmmmm. I thought I had a true friend of 13 years! To make a long story short, it turns out that she wasn't a friend after all. She stole from me, turn on me and I told her my deepest darkest secret and she told the biggest mouth in town, her daughter! Anyway, when I met my husband late in life she wouldn't speak to me after I left the state. You think she would be happy for me. Oh no, she was jealous and never returned my phone calls. The one person I wanted at my wedding was her! Anyway, I could go on but she really hurt me badly and now it has been 10 years and we haven't spoken!

deanac2414 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I think everyone needs at least one close friend. I have a best friend with whom I have been good friends with since 1999. She has always been there for me and was my maid of honor at my wedding 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postingchip Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 MCB some people are just duds. You cannot beat yourself up over helping someone that is a user. You have a good heart. That is a good thing. Eventually you will find someone that is as nice as yourself. Personally, I have found that I form better friendships with people that I have known for a long time. I met my best friend during 8th grade. We have been through high school, college, marriage, babies, careers and now grandkids together. As a result of our busy lives,we can go for months and even years without talking to each other. However, she knows that she will always be my best friend. I will always be her best friend. MCB, my friend and I also know the boundaries of our friendship. Your so-called friend obviously did not know that such boundaries existed.

timmymack1 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I believe you must choose your friends wisely . Quality is much more important than quantity. Having a few good friends you can confide in and rely on is better than having a lot of friends that are out to use and abuse you. It is a good idea to choose friends with common goals . I believe that keeps us competitive and striving toward our own goals. Keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supurman202 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I strongly agree with Timmy on this one. When I was in high school, having more friends was better than having a few close ones. Now, I see the importance in having fewer friends that I'm much closer with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
