Where Have all The True Friends Gone

Posted over 4 years ago My mother told me just 5 friends when you die would make you the richest person in the would. One hand was what she said. "Just count your friends on one hand." You know the older I have become the smarter mymother is. Friends are really never friends. A true friend this day and time does not really exist the way my mother talked about. WHERE ARE THEY? |

| Posted over 4 years ago You know.....I have never been one to have a whole truck load of friends....but it does seem that having a few reallly reallly good ones is beter than a bunch of not so great ones. There was a time when I was seeking out friends left and right and well I was let down a lot. These days, I'm pretty busy so I manage just fine with the friends I have BUT it seems people are drawn to me more now. Wierd! I guess it's kind of like when you're on the hunt for a new love interest.....you can't ever seem to find one, but then when you least expect it.....here comes prince charming (and then you're not available anymore) I consider myself a true friend.....that's something my grammie taught me! ~mg1021 |

| Posted over 4 years ago The saying goes something like this...to have friends, you must be a friend. I think there are those who confuse friends and aquaintances. Two different groups, altogether. I have few friends, male and female and a truckload of aquaintances. Time usually reveals who your real friends are. |

| Posted over 4 years ago The best thing I can think of is that having one true friend is great. And that one would be my husband. But I also have one true girlfriend. And a few scattered friends who I hang out with occasionaly and a bunch of aquaintances. YOur husband can always be your best friend but sometiems you just need some good girl talk! |

i TOTALLY AGREE. MY HUSBAND IS BY FAR MY BEST FRIEND. I CAN TELL HIM ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING AND HE STICKS BY ME, THICK AND THIN. I HAVE A COUPLE OF REALLY CLOSE GIRLFRIENDS AND THAT IS ENOUGH FOR ME. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I ALWAYS HAD A BUNCH OF AQUAINTANCES, BUT TODAY I JUST DO NOT HAVE THE TIME OR ENERGY TO PUT INTO IT. |

| Posted over 4 years ago There was one person who I thought was a friend...I use the past tense because that's just what it is, now. Maybe I expect too much. I just believe that when a person who has less on their plate than I do could do me the courtesy of doing what they say they will WHEN they say they will. I did let it continue for a period of months and overlooked it, I did take most of the early morning phone calls that came right after I had gone to sleep from working 12 hr shifts at night, I did stay up all day to help out. Then came the time I decided it was enough. You would not believe the weight off my shoulders. I could actually breathe again. Chalk it up to my mistake. Not a true friend to me and probably not to anyone else either. That's life. |
