Like I said earlier I really don't have that many friends. Well actually I don't have any...My husband cousin I guess I could call her a friend. The only thing is that she was starting to be someone that I would like to spend time with, but she doesn't seem to what that. She came and helped me with the painting on the new place. Since we have moved in they haven't been here at all. I don't know why at all. Im not sure what I have done or what is going on with her.

Rose, I think you would be a fun friend. It is a holiday season right now, so some people have a hard time getting together. If she works, she may have some work obligations that get in the way.

Thank you..I try to be a fun person. I know that she was very fun to be around. She keeps you laughing all the time. She doesn't work but she does have a lot on her plate that would take some mental energy out of a person. I never thought about that at all. Thanks for helping me to remember those things..I think you would be a great friend...I wish we was closer to visit with each other. Have a good evening and thanks for the kinds words again Garden....
Keep smiling.

As long as i am not the only person that feels like that then,lol.I know that the only person they care about is themselves and i have decided to now care only about myself as a few people that i have known for a while have really changed and the change is not for the better i must say.

My friend and family tend to meet in public places, because they live far away, hubby and I can't drive, and our place is really really tiny, so having people over here is not a good idea, bcause there is no room for them all to sit. LOL So when we do get together, it's because everyone wants to.

I am soo fed up with some of my friends as it seems that they only come round when there is nothing better todo or if they want something.I am now keeping myself to myself as i find that alot easier as well as there are alot of things that i have got planned more now as well as i am in a better routine.I am putting everything else first rather than anyone now which makes me feel alot better.

If you mean they come to see you because they feel obligated we all have that feeling occasionally. I am by nature a loner and I really don't like having to go see people with whom I have nothing in common. Society and tradition tell us that we have to do things like this. Me, I am not always comfortable doing it. I don't like people who really are not interested in anything I have to say. I can tell when they don't. I know we all have to do it though.

No I do not feel like the people who come to see me are here because they have nothing better to do or that they just want something from me. I do not have any money to give anyone I do have friendship and love so if they come around that is what they will have to get.

No one comes to see me. I am never home. I have someone I do go see occasionally, out of obligation, because I should. I already know more than I need to about too many things, so I would never visit for that reason. I do have people who will only call me when they want something.

hi jugsjugs you are a bit of a pessimist arent you, you always seem to see the sorry side of things, maybe they came to see you because they just like you, ever think of that? oh I know I am probably wrong not knowing your people but why not just come out if you feel they are not coming out of love or liking but just out of greed or whatever, and ask why they are there. bet you cannot do that so why not just look on them as really being just kind and friendly,kill them with kindness so to speak. here I would die to have someone come to see me as I am in a retirement centerwith 90 others and still most lonely. I have never had people like that visit me but I am not a pessimist either as I see good in people.

Yea, that happens. Sometimes I don't mind. One time a woman came to visit me because she wanted me to look over her son's resume to see if it needed any modications. It was the first time that she had come to visit me. I didn't mind because she was being honest about it and I was kind of flattered that she chose me to help her. She is a very sweet woman and I didn't feel that she was simply selfishly using me.
If someone does that on a regular basis AND pretends at the same time than I take offense and prefer not to communicate with them anymore.
People who are users and abusers are vampires. They just suck all the energy out of you. That's no good and it's wise to stay away from those people. Part of the joy of living is giving!

Home visits are a rare phenomena these days as most of the time whatever needs to be said is done via email or phone calls. Yes. I have a person who visits me as she needs a shoulder to cry on and mine is well padded!!

some people just see you coz they just feel like it.. and some as what you've said just want to see you coz maybe they need something.. people nowadays are like that.. if they think you're of good use to them then they will think about keeping you as a "friend" but actually the real deal is that they just want something from you.. its just another way of bringing you down to their level.. you of all people can definitely tell whether someone wants something from you.. and of course if you feel that this person is just using you then dont bother to be their friend.
have a nice day..

Hi. Not necessary that when people come to us is for something or got some important reason. Sometime when friends come are for chatting, finding old friend and so on. Life will be bored if no body visit us. I have not much friends visit me, but got some good friend visit me. They come doing nothing and we are chatting every time. Haha this is life. Have a nice day.
