A friend letting you down in troubled times...

How do you cope with the idea of finding yourself in such a deep mess, when it seems you are sinking into a deep sea of problem and you are desperate for help;you're only line of support will be coming from your friend you thought will be with you through and through only to find out that the line of support was suddenly cut short? For me it felt so really bad and I even came to a point of questioning my own ability as a friend. It somehow felt as if all efforts spent on building the friendship was just wasted. It hurts even more to think that you were not valued and just a fancy ornament on social networking sites.

I always used to say to the people I know that I have just a few friends but they are all people I can rely on.Till last summer my best friend gave me up.I felt alfuw and even couldn't believe it.Now she tries to keep in touch with me but it is not the same as it was I hear from her from time to time but as I know she is not a erson I can trust I am not so attached to her anymore.

Hi, edorms36. I am very sorry about your friend letting you down. I have had it happened to me too and it is a very sad feeling and it hurts too. I don't know why friends can't be honest with each other and tell each other exactly how they truly feel. They should not play games and keep secrets hidden from each other. You will find more loyal friends that value you and don't take you for granted. Take care.

I believe that people tend to collect genuine friends for them to be beside you during the happy and worst times. I suggest that you talk to him/her openly and if he/she can't sincerely utter the reason/s why he/she wasn't able to help you then maybe it's time to find a much better friend.

I would not even class that person as a friend as a friend is there for you no matter what and if they know that you need a person to speak to they would be there if they were a friend of any sort.If i was you i would try to make other friends as that way you will i hope in time find what they call a true friend.I would never have treated a friend the way you have been treated and if one of my friends treated me like that i would not have nothing todo with them i am sorry to say.

I think that it's not like that. Just view the other side of things. Maybe they are also in such a deep mess and seems like sinking into a deep sea of problem. Maybe they were just to buys. I think that You are a good friend and that's what matters. You never wasted time on them.

I agree with you to the fullest. It really hurts when the one you thought you could come to betrays you in only a way you will see an enemy doing. Its like a steak knife down your back and through your heart. Some people ask why you stress that so much. Its only because you valued the friendship and the other person didn't when you thought you all were on the same page.

I am sorry to say, but if you got that treatment, that was not really your friend Friends should always be there for you, no excuses. And i hope you told that so called friend exactly how you feel and what you think. TATA
