Have you ever felt let down by a friend?

hi regal_aeros, So sad to hear that from you. I understand what you feel because just like you, I had also experienced same. I feel so down and so sad and disappointed. I had my high school friends which for me are the best. We were always together both in good and bad times. We can always trust each other.We treat each other as real sisters. After graduating from high school, we separated ways. One get married, the other one work and the two us continue to study.For so many year, we keep our communication open even far from each other. But I think, they start to let me down when I got my boyfriend which has different nationality from us. We are Filipino and my boyfriend is an American. They not trust long distance relationship and they started to be cold on me.I don't know what is wrong. Event they know I am happy with my boyfriend.Although, they are not texting me much, I still contact them and keep on telling them that my relationship with my boyfriend is good and I am happy. But it seems that when I got my boyfriend, they started to change. This discussion makes me really sad.. I think that those things really happening and we cannot avoid that. I am not expecting that of all my friends, they will be the one to turn me down. Anyway, there are still good friend around.As for me, I think that it is much better to concentrate on other things that will not make us feel sad and disappointed.Nothing will change if we will still feel sad because of our friend's rejection. So, it is better to start forgetting those sad things. Cheers and Happy mylotting.

Yes I have!! And from some of my closest friends. That was the time for me to realise, whome I am giving my valuable trust to? The experiences made me strong and independent as a person and taught me ...to think thrice before telling someone "a friend".

Well..i think its inevitable.Yes..i too have such experience many times before..!!N i tell u wat..it hurts more dan knife.i think being let down by a frnd..hurts more dan dat done by ur partner..atleast for me as i consider frndship to b of great value.Everytime i have a tiff wid my frnds it affects my personal life..as i feel sad..n silent at this times.but i tell u wat..i have taken this positively n learned from my experiences..dats d best consolation i get wenever i remember dem.D key thing i guess..is not to expect too much from a frnd..afterall apart from a frnd he/c is also human..n humans r selfish by birthright.

Yes. So many times frankly. It seems that you are new to this kind of feeling. But it happens usually. It is human nature to expect things from others without taking into consideration their own limitations in doing that. Obviously, when the frirnd realizes that there is a problem for him/her in accepting our request, s/he steps back. And this action will definitely cause heartbreak on the part of the help expecting person.
