What are they, and how do they come about? I have never understood the concept, these people worring about me, worrying about silly things which doesnt need to be bothered but when it comes to major things they just pretend as if they are deaf. Those people who call me their best friend but dont share their responsibility but expect me to give them my shoulders when they cry. Those people who use me as a time pass tool and abandon me as they please, what kind of people are FRIENDS.

Most friends are like that, they can help us only on minor problems. Maybe on major problems I just would like to think that friends pretend as if they did not mind but sometimes I understand them because they have families and concerns of their own in order for me not to think of my friends are not concerned with me. It happened to me once, a close friend did not visit me during my time of depression and I was hurt. Since that time, I didn't consider her a friend. We talk sometimes but I don't know what she is to me.

i understand your wondering about the people who care to worry about others. how can they do that? why do they do that? your discussion made me see my friendships with others with keen eye. i trust them. they have been with me for some years. we have shared important moments. we have built a bond that can be relied on.

Not all friends are like that but those bad ones make it hard fr us to give other a chance . I have my share of bad friends and I will admit I am not always the best of friends at times . Sometime i am more caught up with my life and hardly get the time to just hang with my friends and they will feel I dont remember them but thats not really the case . I have Friends that see me as a threat and always trying to over shadow me but I also have friends that I love , who love me .

These are the people that you could always turn to and give unconditional support, care and assistance. These are the people who you could share your secrets and problems. These are the people whom you are with during silly and stupid times. For most part, these people are the ones who will be with you until you die.

I don't think all friends are like this but there is a lot of people these days with selfish morals and ideals,and it is very hard to find people you can really trust. That is why you should cherish and treat well any great friends you have,don't take them for granted as one day you could be alone.
