It seems that most people nowadays really aren't friends at all. Why is it that these people only talk to you when they need a favor or need something else? Why don't most people just talk to you to see how you are doing or what you been up to? Why do they always ask for something? Well let me know about your experience's with fake friends and tell me about it.

I also experienced that when I was in High School.. I thought that they were my true friends so I gave them all my trust only to find out that they were only using me.. they make friends with me because of the advantages that they get from me.. they only talk to me if they ask me if I already have my assignments and whatever..! I was so hurt that time.. after that I was already careful choosing my friends and the people whom I give my trust..

This is all true, thank you two for the replies to my question. I know this is true because when I was in school and tried to be cool and act like everyone else, that is when I had 100 friends. But now that I am myself and because I don't do what everyone else out there is doing, no one comes around or even says hi. That is okay though at least I know I am real.

You know you are right. When I was in school these types of friends were the ones that my grandmother referred to as "fair weather friends". Meaning that if all things were okay such as no one else was around they would have something to do with you. But I think that people have become very selfish and unless we have something to offer them then we aren't worth their time.
