because they are jealous and selfish and expect me to retain every bit of info about their lives, but can't remember big details of mine. And I work a lot and am tired and don't feel like talking on the phone or throwing baby showers or having a bachlorette party. So apparently I am girlfriendless and I am totally okay with it because i have Andy who is my best friend and I have my mom who is awesome and my grandma who is crazy but listens and my grandpa who gives me normal advice and a dog who pretends to listen. Plus i have an internet best friend (Chris thank you) and I have work friends. So I am okay. I feel like kinda a loser having no friends but what are ya going to do?
HAving friends is work and its far easier to have one good friend then 10 whatevers. I vote for the dog!
I agree.. I was just talking about friendship in my own thread. You know, it's better to be alone than in bad company, seriously. Most people are self-centered assholes who only care about their ass and shit and when they're with you, it's to either use you, or cause they're bored and have no one else. I'm not saying everyone, but most people. Real friends are RARE just like good people.
It totally was. Just people to get drunk with, lay by the pool with and go clubbing with. Now that I have moved away I realize we have nothing in common. And the person I have been best friends with since I was 14 could give a shit about anyone but herself.
Friends are a tad overrated. I'm an extremely social person, and have hundreds of acquaintances just around campus... But I learned that instead of trying to hang out with all of them, I can just hang out with my small group of really close friends. They are more like family to me, we take care of each other. They are the only ones who will actually truly miss me if I leave. So my suggestion is to get a few good friends, and forget about everyone else.
Yeah... pretty much. It's truly hard to stay in touch with everyone, especially if you move alot. Friends come and go... You've got Andy, and that's all that matters right now. You can always make friends. Say good morning to random strangers!
you already know who truly cares for you so your a step ahead don't need selfish people in your life when you're doing well
I just broke up with my two best girlfriends. They liked to gang up on me together and blame me for their problems and living problems. They were ok apart, but they brought out the worst in eachother. I finally said, enough is enough, and i'm done this time for good, don't call me again. Some people in your life...you just get used to having them around, whether they're good or bad...and you don't realize how down they make you feel. But if you feel better and lighter with them out of your life, then they need to be gone!
I found that out the hard way as soon as I had my first son... but I guess it's better to know sooner then later. It's actually comforting knowing who the people are in my life worth showing any concern over and who is well, just there. Makes it easier to make other decisions in my life. Also, you have us. And I think I can vouch for everyone when I say we are all super bad asses. :tongue:
