Im sorry I thought friends were supposed to help each other

Self centered people are always very selfish and sometimes even don't do by harm, they just don't get that there are more people in the world. I think when they suffer too much when they are a child they get to protect them selves, to know everything that is going on inside them so they literally forget about the rest of the world. Most are mean on purpose sure.

I think most of us here have one or two friends like this. People who consider themselves to be our 'friends', but in reality they are just concerned with what they can get from the relationship. Yes, we can be like this once in a while. And real friends don't mind. But not if they are like that all the time.

thats why i less believe others. I dont want to get hurt as i had earlier. So a big no now. No more intimacy, a safe distance is worth to maintain. take care.

Well thankfully the few friends I have are pretty cool and lovely ppl inside and out.However I know a lady who is just like that.Um if this lady is your close friend I would try to comfront her about her actions and tell her people wont want to help her if she is mean/nasty. Sometimes ppl dont even realize they are being crude until u tell them.

There are many types of friends that we have to deal with and one of them is the self-centered type. I don't know if you can even call her a friend when she doesn't care about the feeling of others. I had a friend who would only come to me when she needs something from me and never show up when she's feeling okay with her life. She has a way of getting away with her style but alas for her, I moved to another town without her knowing and didn't leave any contact or whatsoever. I hope by now, she has learned her lesson. :-)

I used to have this kind of friend. She always want and sometimes force everyone around her, including me, to do whatever she wants. I tried to compromise with her for hundreds of times, but she never wanted to do so. Finally, she was angry of my group because nobody understood what she wanted, and left the group.

luyckly no sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Oh yeah. I know all kinds of people like this and I really do not consider them to be an actual friend. they are more of an acquaintance. Those types of people drive me nuts too.

I have had self centered friends in the past. After a certain amount of time it gets old and you either back away or you continue to put up with it. I backed away and do not have anything to do with these people. Freinds are real and they are some what selfless. I think it better to move away from these types. I hope you work it out and are strong enough to do what needs to be done for your better well being.

I had one when I was young. I suppose there´s a certain age when it´s easier to accept being bullied by friends and we don´t know how to say no. At some point of my life I decided I was not going to take it any longer and simply stopped seeing that kind of people. One of themasked me after a year whether I was mad at her and I explained in detail why I didn´t need her as a friend. It´s easy to have friends around when everything is fine. But real friends are the ones that stand by you when you have problems.

Hi. There are people like that. They are only interested to what is best for them and are unmindful of other's feelings. I have known people like that. Sure enough, this kind of scheme doesn't last without a price to pay. the person i knew who is like your friend lost some of his friends and he even heard unkind words from them, derogatory to some extent. God knows what to do to make things seem fair to everybody. One day, such person you knew will have to learn her lesson the hard way.

As much as possible, I don't want to have a friend like that. My friends are the most important in my life aside from my family. I always rely from them if I don't know what to do. And let's face it, there are problems or worries that we can't divulge with our parents but we can easily tell with our friends. And since they are always there to give me support and advices, I too is always ready to help them if they need me. Of course, I always want what would make them happy and if there would be misunderstanding among us, I want us to talk it over.

I did and could not take it any longer. Funny thing is that she still feels that we are friends. I am amicable but do friend like I once did because she has shown her true colors. It is sad for people to be this way but when you reason as many times as I have, I find I can no longer associate with her because it was bringing way too much negativity towards the way I felt about a certain areas and people in my life. This one certainly upset way too many people, however it has not moved her in any way, my understanding is that she continues to be this way, I guess one day she will be hurt in the process.

I have this kind of friend before and the action I took is to ignore him until he decided to bother me. For your situation, however, you can have an intervention so you and your friends can tell her how everybody feels about her action so she might improve.
