30 Times Friendships Ended Because People Realized They Were Fake, Shared By Folks Online
Finding friends can be really hard as at the beginning, you’re complete strangers and people can portray themselves to be completely opposite of what they actually are and you wouldn’t even know. Only after some time, you may notice some traits that you don’t agree with and that you haven’t noticed before.
And maybe those traits come through because that person is not really your friend and was just pretending to be, but because they can’t pretend forever, their deception is starting to be clear. People will learn that their so-called friends were fake all along and it is always very hurtful when a person you felt close with doesn’t really have a connection with you.
There is a subreddit in which people came to tell their stories of when they found out that their friends were actually fake. Reddit user VexAndStuff asked on AskReddit “When did you realize your 'friends' were actually fake friends?” and the thread was upvoted 67k times with almost 20k people joining in with their hurtful realizations. At least they know the truth now.

Back in my first year of college, I used to have a group of friends (like 7 dudes with me included). We always hang out together and we're used to have this "group chat" where we discuss about anything from class subjects to random things. After a year, I noticed that one of the guys (let's just call him Randy) keeps getting excluded; Not invited/informed to group hangout while they're talking smack behind his back. And the "unofficial leader" of the group actually made a whole new group chat, inviting everyone (myself included) except Randy without his knowledge.
I know what it feels to be left out, I experienced that in Middle school and it's really awful. I stopped hanging out with them and I started hanging out with Randy. He's quite eccentric but a very good person at heart. We've been friends for more than 6 years, and he still got my back

Happened to me on my 21st birthday- all my "friends" made up excuses why they couldn't come. Then the 3 friends that did met some guys and we went back to their house and awkwardly sat around.
Happened again for my 25th birthday- I had moved across the country and found new friends, but they all bailed at the last minute. I called my roommate at the time who came out when he got off work, and he called some of his friends who came out and I had the best night ever. Those guys are now my real friends, and I married that roommate

I was at a party, really depressed after a bad breakup and got drunk. My abusive ex showed up, caught me somewhere alone and hit me. I begged several friends for help since I was too drunk to drive home alone and they ignored me. My ex best friend was there, completely sober and refused to drive home with me because she didn't believe he would do that. There's no Uber or anything in my country btw. The whole thing escalated, one guy I didn't know ended up finding me alone in a field crying and throwing up, brought me back to the house, build a bed out of blankets for me and sat guard all night to make sure my ex wouldn't do anything again.

Shortly realized after quitting cocaine that a majority of my "friends" only kept me around so they could feel better about their own cocaine habits.
I was heavily addicted and setting myself down a path I never once thought I could or would take. Stopped for my own benefit and health, and was treated like a selfish piece of s*** for doing so. The next months ensued and not one of them checked in to see how I was doing, but instead my high school best friend started sleeping with my ex highschool girlfriend (I was with her for 5 years and actually thought I was going to marry her at one point) who dumped me for doing cocaine and is now an honorary member of the group I was cast out of.
Replaced with the person who partially fueled my substance abuse, who dumped me for substance abuse, by the group that didn't like me stopping my substance abuse, so they could all abuse substances together.
It's now been over a year since I quit, and honestly couldnt be happier. Got rid of a cocaine addiction and about 1000lbs of dead weight. But it was an eye opener to say the least.

Middle school. I hung out with a group who treated me like dog s***. I was always the one getting made fun of, the group punching bag, that sort of thing. I hung out with them because they were the only "friends" I had. Then I woke up one day and realized they all sucked. So at lunch I went up to them, told them they were all d*** heads. I got laughed at, but I went and sat alone. I was alone all the way until junior year of high school when I told my parents that the big city wasn't for me. So my amazing parents sacrificed everything and moved up to Montana. I showed up to a small school and didn't know a soul. I decided to join the football team. That was the best choice I ever made. I met all new friends, who I'm still friends with 15 years later.

First of all I’d like to say good for you for standing up for yourself, that’s a hard thing to do, especially at that age! Secondly I would like to thank your parents and I hope that you let them know how much they mean to you every single day they’re alive not only did they do you a solid by moving but they basically picked up and moved everything to keep you safe and sane. Not a lot of parents would do that.

Went to pick up my xbox 360 a friend was borrowing, and our whole group of friends were there. They had spent the entire day playing games with snacks and pizza, and I had not been invited. And now I was in the situation of being the douche who takes the ball home and ruins the fun for everyone. I took my xbox and never spoke to anyone in that group again.

The group made plans to meet and hang out. I was getting ready in the salon. A couple of friends had to back out for some reason. The other friend then made excuses of his own, and I could tell. I tried cajoling him and offer ways for him to go but he basically decided to cancel the entire group meet up.
It was my birthday.

François Bouzigues 3 years ago
I get what you mean / feel. But in my experiences, friendships vary in inertia. With some friends, i am the one calling. With some other, they are the one calling. It is a dynamic, it is not necesarilly bad. In the long term, if you have people you value, it is worth the effort.
#13
When you try to open up and try to share a genuine conversation about something going on in your life and all they can do it crack jokes and try to get you to go out drinking with them. Made me realize how surface level many “friendships” really are.
Then you have the opposite of that - 3 guys I’ve known since I was a freshman in high school. Been friends for over 15 years. Have stayed in touch through all of us getting married, having kids, and moving to completely separate areas or the country. Yet whenever we’re within an hour of each other we always make a point to get breakfast and catch up (this usually turns into 3+ hour conversations). This may only happen once or twice a year, but I consider those guys my best friends. That’s real friendship and I’m fortunate to have them.

This was quite a few years ago. My ex and I were really friendly with another couple. Did a ton of stuff together. Then they moved (not far) and fairly shortly after my ex and I separated. They hung out with me for a few months but then stopped calling.
A few years later, I ran into both of them at a race (an ultramarathon) and they both pretended like they didn't know me. That was actually a really painful moment.

I wouldn't say I have fake friends but I am definitely the periphery friend. The majority of the time if there isn't enough tickets or space in the car for everyone to go do something, I'm the one who gets cut out. It doesn't bother me much but I wish they would be more mindful when talking to me about "things we have done." "Remember when we went to see XXX? Wasn't that fun?" Well, no because I wasn't invited. In those situations it usually gets awkward or they say "Hey, we would have invited you if we had the tickets, space, etc."

Like I suspect for a lot of people, getting divorced was a real eye opener. I started with a core group of close friends who had all met in our late teens/early twenties and one of them introduced me to the woman who I would ultimately marry. Well into our 40s they were what I considered to be my family but when the divorce happened things spiralled.
My best friend stuck with me, but his wife was the one who orchestrated things in our group and she was best friends with my ex. I was expecting the two of them to insulate for a while and I knew it was painful for my ex to be around me, so it was no surprise when I stopped getting invitations to cook outs etc..
But then I noticed that the other members of the group were also avoiding/ignoring me. I'd see on facebook that one of them came into my town to go to a concert for a band that they knew I liked and hadn't so much as texted. Birthdays rolled around and nobody would call. When my parents both died within a few months of each other and not a one of them reached out I knew where I stood.
My best friend needs to get credit though. Alone from all of them he made a consistent effort to stay in touch and see me regularly. He was there when my parents died and through everything else even though his wife clearly disapproved. I think finally after this nonsense had been going on for several years he told her how ridiculous it all seemed and that entire friend group tried to reconcile. I made it clear right from the start that there was no guarantee that I'd ever find space for them in my life again.
This is all very apropos right now because they are having their first big post-covid party in a couple weeks and I'm invited. People are coming in from all over the country and the only one I give a s*** about seeing is my buddy.

This friend, I'll call her Mary, had kids the same age as mine. We got together for play dates pretty often and our kids would sleep over at each others' houses for weekends. I liked Mary. We would often visit and talk while our kids were playing. One weekend, her kids had stayed at my house. The older one called her mom to see when she was coming to pick her up. I was in the room, and the kid put the phone on speaker for some reason. Mary told the kid what time she would be there and added, "You had better be waiting outside. If I have to go in and spend the next hour talking to rivertam, I'm going to be really pissed."
We didn't spend much time together after that.
Here's what happened after I overheard my friend say that to her child:
I simply stopped initiating contact and wasn't as available to do stuff for her. When we dropped off or picked up the kids, I smiled and waved. I let the kids make the plans for play dates. I no longer had time to help her with her garden or watch her kids while she went out with another friend (they were into long distance running, which is not my cup of tea). She never contacted me unless she wanted something. This had always been true, but I had not realized it. The "friendship" eventually fizzled out on its own. So, I guess it had never been much of a friendship to begin with. I just didn't realize it until she opened my eyes.
#24
When I was in school, all my friends and I did different A levels.
Despite us all having different lessons to each other, they would wait for each other to go to lunch together, but they would always always forget me. Like I'd come out and they wouldn't be there, so I'd have lunch by myself.
And then they'd come back and tell me they thought I was with them.
I was the only one they didn't wait for.
I've only seen one of them since we left school. She had forgotten my name.
So that sucked.

You need to find some solid people in your life don’t be satisfied with crumbs you’re worth more than that. It’s obvious that you’re intelligent and that you care about others. Go find a passion that you’re interested in some sort of hobby and go meet people with the same likes that you do or go volunteer because it’s a good way to meet new people in a non-threatening environment

When they ghosted me after 17 years of close friendship. I still have no idea what I did wrong, and for extra salt in the wound, it was right after I spent a week eating instant noodles because I donated every cent I had to one of them for her cancer treatment GoFundMe.
Hurt more than any relationship breakup.
Edit: for all those asking, yes she definitely has cancer, no she didn't die, and given that it was more than 1 person who ghosted me and that the cancer friend still maintains an active social life with everyone else but me, it's probably not for reasons related to her ordeal.

One "friend" at university tried to steal my Animation coursework, claim it as his own and get me kicked out for stealing his work.
However I had help setting things up by one of my Tutors/Professors, for me to film the coursework, so he instead got expelled and blacklisted from the University and any other University in the UK doing the same subject (The people running all the Animation degrees in every University in the UK, back then, knew each other and talked to each other regularly as it a small community. I think there were less than half a dozen Universities with Animation degrees back then)

I've been the asshole. One of my friends tells me off about once a year. We're still friends, in part because I apologize and put the bad behaviour on the no-no list. The rest comes down to sharing a sense of humour and being there.

Just before I deactivated facebook I put a post up every couple of days telling everyone to PM me of you want to keep in contact. Out of 70+ people, I had approx 8 people that I exchanged numbers with. Out of the 8, I keep in contact with one. I was the only one that made any effort with the others but wasn't reciprocated so I just stopped. The end.

I cut out the person who had been my "best friend" since grade school when I was 21 because when I called her to tell her I was engaged to the love of my life and asked her to be my maid of honor she replied "If you really get married this time." She was referring to the fact that I had been quasi-engaged to my previous long term boyfriend who had been so mentally and physically abusive that I did not date anyone for several years after we broke up. The fact that she couldn't be happy for me and had to bring up the darkest time in my life just shattered me. My sisters were dual matrons of honor, it was a beautiful wedding where I married my best friend, I have been married over 28 years, I have wonderful people in my life now and the rest is history.

When in high school I had a group of friends that were the "it" girls in school. We hung out every day. Wore the same kind of clothes, etc. I was the one who walked away. They had asked me where I liked to shop. As an art person I said a leather store I knew where you could get supplies and finished items like purses. They went with me to check it out. When we got home they emptied their pockets and purses on the bed of all the stuff they had stolen. Nothing but a bunch of thieves. That is when I walked away. My parents divorced then and we moved into town. They tried to get in touch with me but I declined involvement. Thing is you move on when you have life changes. Change schools, divorce, graduate, change jobs... those people were your friends while it lasted. You then have the chance to find new friends. Rarely do you keep the same friends your whole life. Bloom where you are planted. Be open and caring to making new ones. If you do have lifelong ones count it as a rare blessing.

I’ve known several people ever since college 40 years ago. I’ve stayed in touch with them because I’ve always taken the initiative to contact them. One day my gf asked what would happen if I stopped contacting them. Would they make the effort to check on my well being? We decided to find out. Its been over five years & I haven’t heard a single word from any of them. I guess you’re never too old to learn. But glad to know the truth.

"Friends from work". Your coworkers are not your friends. Learned that hard way. Same as my "college buddies" who disappeared from my life as soon as we graduated, as soon as I changed the job, my "friends" coworkers ditched me completely. At current job I didn't even try and now everyone hates me because they think I am conceited and think too much of me to hang out with them. I just don't want to be hurt anymore. I want at least one friend, but real, who will not be with me just because we work desk to desk and it's convenient.

This happened to me when I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 45. People in my life I would have sworn would never leave my side disappeared in an instant. It's like they thought my cancer was contagious. A select few stood by me. If you want to know who your real friends are, they're the ones who will hold your hair while you vomit in a trash can after that first chemo treatment, the one's who will sit at the hospital with you for 11 hours during a chemo treatment, and will make time to drive you to 3 months of Monday through Friday radiation treatments because you can't drive yourself because it's painful to move because your skin is peeling off in big weepy patches. When I found a new job, I was able to hire this friend for my team, which provided the income she and her husband needed to buy their first home.

A few back-up information, for a better understanding: In the middle of 2000 my father died of cancer. About 6 months later, my mother also died of cancer. 6 months after my mother died, my husband and I split. Turns out he had a new girlfriend for some time ... which my sons told me, after they came back from a fathers weekend. I kind of expected something like that. What I didn't expect however, was that I would gradually lose all of "our friends" in a span of another 6 month. At some point, none of them came by anymore, or even called. I was probably not very enjoyable ... after these one and a half "entertaining" years.

I can relate to this. About a year and a half after I had been in a coma for a month and almost died I was starting to repair and rebuild my life. I had spent two stretches in a nursing home during this year and a half. Once for a little over two months and once for nine months. I had broken up with my partner of six years. I was finally doing better though. I had just gotten a new apartment. I was able to walk and swim again. Progress was definitely being made. Out of the blue one day my best friend called me up and told me she didn't want to be friends with me anymore. I was struck dumb. I hadn't really been bothering her because she had a new boyfriend and was in that honeymoon phase so when she called I don't think we had spoken for about two weeks. I asked her why and if she maybe just wanted to take a break. She said no to the break idea and that I just "wasn't fun" anymore. I think I said if you had been through this, you wouldn't be much fun either. Good riddance.

This reminds me of my old friend, Bill. Not a friend, but a girlfriend. He really loved her. She broke up with him. Then a few months later, she wanted to get back together and he was thrilled. She had broken her leg, and he was driving her around. Then on his birthday, he get laid off. Goes home and that night, she broke it off with him (knowing he had just gotten laid off on his birthday). She straight up told him that she only got back together with him so he'd drive her while her leg was in a cast. But the cast was off now. I will hate that woman until the day I die.

Looking at these through my own experiences with people I thought were friends and even though it seems universal, it still makes me sad. I used to think 'friends' meant something. It was a big deal to call someone a friend but now I have none because the ones I thought truly were either rejected me or we've just drifted apart. In the decades since graduation, the people (mostly coworkers) who I've come close to calling friends have left so now it's like ... eh what's the point getting to know anyone. Even today, someone who I thought was a good worker and didn't mind being around I find out is leaving. And now, I've reached an age where I feel it's getting impossible to start new friendships.

in the US & other countries where northern European culture is the dominant culture, friends are sort of treated like socks. Think about it: you buy a pair of socks to meet a need like matching the color of your dress slacks or the sport you are playing. The same way, people enter into friendships based on current needs. When the sock gets old, the elastic fails so it won't stay up, it fades so much so it looks pathetic, or the original need goes away, it gets thrown out. The same way, people get rid of their "friends" when the relationship gets old, fades, or the original need goes away. Yes, if you wear high top boots, you can use them for boot socks. The same way, some friendships continue long-term but are never seen again publicly. This includes all long distance relationships. Folks, wise up: you are dealing with human beings here with souls, not cheap fashion accessories. Treat people like human beings for a change, okay? Don't throw away a true friend since they are so rare. You may only have one or two genuine friends in your lifetime, so cherish them. Don't end a genuine positive relationship for a frivolous reason. Forgive and forget if they hurt you, okay?

Yeah, I've been the giver and receiver in this situation. Not sure why it occurred in either case, perhaps always looking for something better to come along without realizing how good you have it at that moment. At this time in my life, my one and only friend is my husband, I moved to his state knowing no one and while I do have work friends, I don't socialize with them outside and would not want to. I am very uncomfortable in large group settings and prefer to be close to home. I know my previous friendships have affected me, making me feel self conscious and have no confidence in creating relationships.

It was my family for me, and it sucked. My father and I never had a good relationship, and when I was leaving the state, he refused to allow me to keep and pay for the car he had cosigned on. He shared his side with the rest of my family and they all turned their backs on me. On her deathbed, my mom asked my side of the story. After she heard my truth, she asked why I had never told them the evil s**t my dad did to me. The only response I had was "because you never asked, you all just assumed it was all my fault". She cried and apologized but I lost my family at age 25 thanks to my dad the narcissist.

I jokingly said to a woman I considered my closest friend that when we get old, if we're not married or something, that we should get a house together. She laughed and said, "You know I couldn't live with you." I didn't know. I didn't end our 'friendship,' but her comment hung over like a cloud until years later, I cut her loose. Why? Because she and her husband moved to my state, 3 1/2 hours away, lived here for 10 years and never once invited me to her house or accepted an invitation to mine, or even agree to meet halfway. Then when they decided to leave the state, she called out the blue to announce that she and hubby were going to stop by before they hit the road. I asked her why and told her not to bother. We've not spoken since.

I often think it would be nice to have at least one friend to talk to and do things with, but I've learned the lesson well over the last 50 years that in most cases the idea of a friend is an illusion. I would much rather be alone than be used over and over by people that can't even find the time to text just to say hello.

Ok, I need to share: ~16yo, my best friend (a little bit older) just ghosted me. No reason, no explanation. One of the biggest trauma in my life. ~few years ago I was struggling with anorexia, and one evening, out with my crush I drank too much (I was drunk because anorexia, wasn't able to handle my "normal" amount of alcohol) and he told me he had a girlfriend. I just remember I left, crying, and figured out I was wayyyy too drunk. I grabbed a random guy near subway and told him "man, I don't feel good. Can you help me please? I need to go back home" and he just brought me home, safe !! Faith in humanity restored.

My list of fake friends 1. Best friend started hanging out with first wife and her girlfriend while we were still married and new that they were moving in together 2. When I was in junior high I found out my "friends" only hung out with me to get closer to my brother 3. When a "friend" RSVP'd to my wedding (2nd marriage) but told me that morning she could not make it because a friend was visiting from out of town (out of town was 20 minutes away) 4. When a friend rooted against my team during superbowl for a team she has always hated-this is a silly one but I was very annoyed but we are still friends i just dont watch football with her any more :) 5. When a person kept making comments about me being bi-racial but mostly saying shitty things about me being half white and always referring to everything I did as some white girl s**t My list can go probably on and on but now I have about 3 close friends, which works for me.

I remember back in Grade 6, I was (supposedly) the second most popular in my class (as voted by the class). Everyone hung out with me, played games with me, and even just chilled with me. My cousin/best friend was always with me, and we were pretty close. But this story has 2 bad endings in one, first: My cousin/best friend was very manipulative. She would always make me feel guilty and make me do everything for her. I invited her to my house almost every day, and she accepted. But when she got to my house, she would just eat my candy and hop in the pool. She also tried to butt in on EVERYTHING I did, like even four corners (if the younger children still play that lol), I would win, and the teacher allowed me to be it after I won. Simple right? Wrong. My cousin/best friend argued and yelled and stayed put, even mocked me and copied me. I eventually gave up because I was so fed up. Second: I realized my ‘friends’ only stayed because of her. Not me. They ignored me.

For most of my life I would make a big deal about all of my friend’s birthdays, planning surprise parties, group dinners, trips and such. When it came to my birthday, Nada. It’s as if I didn’t even exist. My birthday is on December 20th and year after year everyone would forget my birthday, so I chalked it up to it being so close to Christmas (hello, denial, I know you all too well). The last time anyone of my so-called friends acknowledge my birthday, was for my 30th…in 2002. For my new year’s resolution, going into 2020, I decided that I was to no longer going to acknowledge the birthdays of any one that I know. This has upset almost 99.9% of the people that I know…or rather knew. When confronted about missing someone’s birthday, I simply explained my reason for not acknowledging their birthday, and surprise, surprise, I never hear from them again. Good riddance!

I cut out the person who had been my "best friend" since grade school when I was 21 because when I called her to tell her I was engaged to the love of my life and asked her to be my maid of honor she replied "If you really get married this time." She was referring to the fact that I had been quasi-engaged to my previous long term boyfriend who had been so mentally and physically abusive that I did not date anyone for several years after we broke up. The fact that she couldn't be happy for me and had to bring up the darkest time in my life just shattered me. My sisters were dual matrons of honor, it was a beautiful wedding where I married my best friend, I have been married over 28 years, I have wonderful people in my life now and the rest is history.

When in high school I had a group of friends that were the "it" girls in school. We hung out every day. Wore the same kind of clothes, etc. I was the one who walked away. They had asked me where I liked to shop. As an art person I said a leather store I knew where you could get supplies and finished items like purses. They went with me to check it out. When we got home they emptied their pockets and purses on the bed of all the stuff they had stolen. Nothing but a bunch of thieves. That is when I walked away. My parents divorced then and we moved into town. They tried to get in touch with me but I declined involvement. Thing is you move on when you have life changes. Change schools, divorce, graduate, change jobs... those people were your friends while it lasted. You then have the chance to find new friends. Rarely do you keep the same friends your whole life. Bloom where you are planted. Be open and caring to making new ones. If you do have lifelong ones count it as a rare blessing.

"Friends from work". Your coworkers are not your friends. Learned that hard way. Same as my "college buddies" who disappeared from my life as soon as we graduated, as soon as I changed the job, my "friends" coworkers ditched me completely. At current job I didn't even try and now everyone hates me because they think I am conceited and think too much of me to hang out with them. I just don't want to be hurt anymore. I want at least one friend, but real, who will not be with me just because we work desk to desk and it's convenient.

This happened to me when I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 45. People in my life I would have sworn would never leave my side disappeared in an instant. It's like they thought my cancer was contagious. A select few stood by me. If you want to know who your real friends are, they're the ones who will hold your hair while you vomit in a trash can after that first chemo treatment, the one's who will sit at the hospital with you for 11 hours during a chemo treatment, and will make time to drive you to 3 months of Monday through Friday radiation treatments because you can't drive yourself because it's painful to move because your skin is peeling off in big weepy patches. When I found a new job, I was able to hire this friend for my team, which provided the income she and her husband needed to buy their first home.

A few back-up information, for a better understanding: In the middle of 2000 my father died of cancer. About 6 months later, my mother also died of cancer. 6 months after my mother died, my husband and I split. Turns out he had a new girlfriend for some time ... which my sons told me, after they came back from a fathers weekend. I kind of expected something like that. What I didn't expect however, was that I would gradually lose all of "our friends" in a span of another 6 month. At some point, none of them came by anymore, or even called. I was probably not very enjoyable ... after these one and a half "entertaining" years.

I can relate to this. About a year and a half after I had been in a coma for a month and almost died I was starting to repair and rebuild my life. I had spent two stretches in a nursing home during this year and a half. Once for a little over two months and once for nine months. I had broken up with my partner of six years. I was finally doing better though. I had just gotten a new apartment. I was able to walk and swim again. Progress was definitely being made. Out of the blue one day my best friend called me up and told me she didn't want to be friends with me anymore. I was struck dumb. I hadn't really been bothering her because she had a new boyfriend and was in that honeymoon phase so when she called I don't think we had spoken for about two weeks. I asked her why and if she maybe just wanted to take a break. She said no to the break idea and that I just "wasn't fun" anymore. I think I said if you had been through this, you wouldn't be much fun either. Good riddance.

This reminds me of my old friend, Bill. Not a friend, but a girlfriend. He really loved her. She broke up with him. Then a few months later, she wanted to get back together and he was thrilled. She had broken her leg, and he was driving her around. Then on his birthday, he get laid off. Goes home and that night, she broke it off with him (knowing he had just gotten laid off on his birthday). She straight up told him that she only got back together with him so he'd drive her while her leg was in a cast. But the cast was off now. I will hate that woman until the day I die.

Looking at these through my own experiences with people I thought were friends and even though it seems universal, it still makes me sad. I used to think 'friends' meant something. It was a big deal to call someone a friend but now I have none because the ones I thought truly were either rejected me or we've just drifted apart. In the decades since graduation, the people (mostly coworkers) who I've come close to calling friends have left so now it's like ... eh what's the point getting to know anyone. Even today, someone who I thought was a good worker and didn't mind being around I find out is leaving. And now, I've reached an age where I feel it's getting impossible to start new friendships.

in the US & other countries where northern European culture is the dominant culture, friends are sort of treated like socks. Think about it: you buy a pair of socks to meet a need like matching the color of your dress slacks or the sport you are playing. The same way, people enter into friendships based on current needs. When the sock gets old, the elastic fails so it won't stay up, it fades so much so it looks pathetic, or the original need goes away, it gets thrown out. The same way, people get rid of their "friends" when the relationship gets old, fades, or the original need goes away. Yes, if you wear high top boots, you can use them for boot socks. The same way, some friendships continue long-term but are never seen again publicly. This includes all long distance relationships. Folks, wise up: you are dealing with human beings here with souls, not cheap fashion accessories. Treat people like human beings for a change, okay? Don't throw away a true friend since they are so rare. You may only have one or two genuine friends in your lifetime, so cherish them. Don't end a genuine positive relationship for a frivolous reason. Forgive and forget if they hurt you, okay?

Yeah, I've been the giver and receiver in this situation. Not sure why it occurred in either case, perhaps always looking for something better to come along without realizing how good you have it at that moment. At this time in my life, my one and only friend is my husband, I moved to his state knowing no one and while I do have work friends, I don't socialize with them outside and would not want to. I am very uncomfortable in large group settings and prefer to be close to home. I know my previous friendships have affected me, making me feel self conscious and have no confidence in creating relationships.

It was my family for me, and it sucked. My father and I never had a good relationship, and when I was leaving the state, he refused to allow me to keep and pay for the car he had cosigned on. He shared his side with the rest of my family and they all turned their backs on me. On her deathbed, my mom asked my side of the story. After she heard my truth, she asked why I had never told them the evil s**t my dad did to me. The only response I had was "because you never asked, you all just assumed it was all my fault". She cried and apologized but I lost my family at age 25 thanks to my dad the narcissist.

I jokingly said to a woman I considered my closest friend that when we get old, if we're not married or something, that we should get a house together. She laughed and said, "You know I couldn't live with you." I didn't know. I didn't end our 'friendship,' but her comment hung over like a cloud until years later, I cut her loose. Why? Because she and her husband moved to my state, 3 1/2 hours away, lived here for 10 years and never once invited me to her house or accepted an invitation to mine, or even agree to meet halfway. Then when they decided to leave the state, she called out the blue to announce that she and hubby were going to stop by before they hit the road. I asked her why and told her not to bother. We've not spoken since.

I often think it would be nice to have at least one friend to talk to and do things with, but I've learned the lesson well over the last 50 years that in most cases the idea of a friend is an illusion.

One of the biggest trauma in my life. ~few years ago I was struggling with anorexia, and one evening, out with my crush I drank too much (I was drunk because anorexia, wasn't able to handle my "normal" amount of alcohol) and he told me he had a girlfriend. I just remember I left, crying, and figured out I was wayyyy too drunk. I grabbed a random guy near subway and told him "man, I don't feel good. Can you help me please? I need to go back home" and he just brought me home, safe !! Faith in humanity restored.
