I have been literally let down by a so called friend. It was very easily solved. I have not maintained the so called friendship. All I did is treat them as if they never existed and do not exist now.

I don't have too many friends that let me down, If they do , I'm very understanding, and I don't hold it against them! I myself stand behind all of my friends, that is really important to me!

I have had this happen to me in my life. Some people truly were not friends and I did eventually part ways with them but other people have let me down but really it wasn't their fault when I look at the situation. Though people may want to be there for you sometimes they need to prioritize things. Like one day I got horrible news and was so sad I called my sister who happened to be doing a major relocation that day. Though she wasn't there for me when I needed someone I do understand that the move was way more important at the time. I always try to be there for my friends but if my child needs me my friend would understand that I must go to them. I think you just need to look at the character of the people you are with. Do they make efforts to be a friend, if so then I wouldn't be bothered about them not always being there for me.

with friends I made in two different offices - bok, me and tina
There are just times when friends need space too, but, that does not stop the friendship. Just put it this way, friends are humans too that they have some things in mind. It is not often that your friends think the way as you do, but despite the differences, there is this special bond that makes you friends. :)

in my experience, after that worst thing happen still we are friend but there is a gap on our closeness.

Oh yes I have been let down from friends, and many of them. Just this year I was let down by two of my closest actually. Long time friends that I've known for 20 something years. It's too bad it took me this long to realize the nature of their motives. But I"m willing to part with the old and make some new true ones.

Yes I have been let down a lot and I always tried to maintain the friendships anyway, for years I did this but now that I am older I am tired of trying to keep things together, I now think that it is now better to just move on.

Omg i know how that is. Just yesterday I was going to go get my nails done with a couple of friends. they called said yeah they were going and i was on my way to meet them there. And they never showed up, didn't even called. And today I still haven't heard from them. I will be friendly towards them but they won't be considered my friends if you know what I mean. This isn't the first time its happened.

yes, i've ever felt it. i obviously tried to maintain the friendship because i love my friend and really don't wanna something destroy my friendship. i'll ask whether i did something wrong,so i can try to fix that. but if my friend doesn't appreciate what i do, i'll let it down..just move on..
