Do you think true friendships are disappearing today?

personally I think so.All relationships are becoming musiness-minded and self-centered. Anybody who agrees?

I agree. Most people not focus on themselves and not their friends. It's coming down to "what's in it for me". I've had the pleasure of not being repaid money by a "friend" and I use the word friend loosely. I'm personally fed up with selfish friends. The me me me me me friends. It's sickening and I'm glad I've seen the light and started making changes!

yes .. i wud say .. true friendship is disappearing .. not in quality .. but in quantity .. it is rare to find friends these days who wud die for each other and who put forward their freind's need before their own .. probably because of the changing demands of the world .. people are becoming more mechanical .. many other things have taken position on the priority list .. its bound to happen

Not sure if is disappearing or is it becoming a diffrent thing in ones live these days...I think that having close fiends near you might becoming harder but there are very nice people now on the internet to make great friends with. The world is changing everyday ...look back 10 years ago..email what was that ..now days dont send in the snail mail due to the fact I check that once a week email and I check that often in a day. I have all my bills in paperless now and come to a special email that is only for that. I find that I can talk to lots of friends on the internet when I want to and have learn so much more from them then some of my friends I see often ...

No, I got several friends that I called my best friends. They are the ones that I can talk about anything and they talk about everything. I think it did become hard to find a good friends lately. I dont know why.

Yes!! People are becoming so superficial - so focused on money and success in terms of "things owned". People are losing awareness about what makes true, deep relationships - what's important long after the "things" are broken, lost, forgotten. What's left? Where's the personal connection? Passed by for the goal of More, More, More - Things! Bigger and better has become more important than real, deep and personal. What you own has become more important than who you are - what you value, how you show up in the world, what you contribute to society and what makes your life REALLY worth living!

I dont think so, u know my friend called indra, who is my friend, our friendship started in the year of 1986, still we are good friends and am very honest to him he is same as me. We are good friends, many people tried to bring misunderstandings between us, but we both know other as well. Our friendship is grater than love. I know it never ends.
