What will you do if you have manipulative friends?

I've been this situation already even more than twice. This is the moment where I realize who my 'real' friends are... So what did I do? Nothing! I just let them go. I don't want to say something because it might hurt their feelings, and I don't want to count all what I've done for them because they're my friends and I did it heartily. Helping your friend should be sincerely done and comes from your heart without asking any in return. If time comes that they're not there for you when they need you? Just let them go, because I know that there would always be other person(s) who would stick to you no matter what -- God and your family. ^_^

feel a little sad, but no regret because there is nothing wrong in doing good things but the next time around i will let him/her know what my worth is..

If i was you and i had helped someone out then they didnt want to know, well i would be mad. But also i would have learnt from it that they are not really a friend and that i should not waste my time on them in the future.

i leave them alone too. no use feeling bitter about it... i helped them because i wanted too, without expecting anything in return. if they are real friends, and they have real valid reasons why they cant be there for me when I need them, that's okay, i wouldn't mind...i'd still help them again when time comes that i'm needed again. but if they are one of those fake friends you occasionally find here and there, then i forget them and delete them from my friends list forever. i forgive but i don't forget.

Hi dear, It happens several times. We are sometimes very much in need and once the work is got done, they will just ignore. This even happened to me as well. In fact, they are ‘using’ we people. Such are not real friends and they will do the same with so many people like us. It is a habituated thing for them and they may be conservative and once they find things are intact, they try to exploit us for their requirements. There may not be any real goodness in their mind. They, hopefully are not real friends and should ignore such friendship and initially, we will feel a loss, but in the long run, we will get peace of mind. Regards, Thank-s

There is a so-called "toxic friendship". In which you always give, while the other party just receives, and does not reciprocate. Maybe you should ponder if you still these "friends" in your life, or try to save yourself from heartaches. :)
