Almost every person I've ever been friends with is/was a whore, a bitch, afraid to tell me how they really feel about me, a jackass, or just plain stupid. I know one person that I know I'll be able to count on no matter what happens, and I've never been as thankful for anything as I am for having her.
I find most of my friends are not whores, bitches, jackasses, just plain stupid, etc., because I have chosen not to surround myself with those types of people. It's alright.
well, yeah. but it's a basic truth. if the only people you have around you, the only people you accept, attract and keep around are shitheads, odds are good you're a shithead, too. but it's a good sign that he's getting over it and noticing it now.
So don't be friends with asses. But if you choose to make them you're friends and then aren't loyal, well, thats a pretty big character flaw IMO.
i did a complete re-do of friends a few months ago im still alright with the people i was friends with... just a few. but i'm friends with a lot more people, and it has changed me and my life its good, what you are doing.
It's been more complicated than just surrounding myself with jerks. One friend I became friends with because we met each other on a thread about gamers with disabilities, but he became obsessed with his podcast and started using me to test stuff for him but he would never actually talk to me. Another I was really good friends with and had feelings for, but the other day while we were teasing each other about intelligence he randomly called me a stupid fag and refuses to talk to me anymore. Another is my friend who started ignoring me completely after he met his girlfriend and hangs up on me randomly when he no longer feels like talking instead of even saying bye. I keep befriending people like this. They seem really great at first, real stand up guys. But then they suddenly change. If I had known they had these qualities I never would have been friends with them. I'm not like them. I try really hard to be the best guy I can be.
I'm extremely socially akward, so I don't make friends. I end up friends with people who come to me, because I never try to talk to anybody. If they seem like a jerk then I don't continue talking to them, but all of these people sounded really great when I first met them.
That explains why all my friends are such pervs. Anyway, this is a pretty simple thing in theory. Hang out with better people. In reality though, maybe you have self destructive tendancies or insecurities that cause you to seek out people who end up letting you down.
i was really shy and akward, too. then i went through enough fucked up shit all at once that i got pissed off and broke outta there. tell jerk "friends" to fuck off. they're not friends, anyway. you really have to adjust how you use that word.
Wait until you get older. You won't categorize people as much. And you'll appreciate your friends more and I'll admit, you'll be much more happier.
