In a twist that leads me to divert from my plan to blog about how screwed up the world is, I now bring to you how screwed up my world is.
Well since the world revolves around me its only the right thing to do, so press pause on the rest of the happenings in the world and focus on me.
Yeah the title gives the whole picture away, this is my bitch session about Friends...
Well mostly I've been this quiet guy that everyone comes to when they need help! Why you might ask?
Because i dispense immense amounts of advice at no real cost to them expect me. This cost comes in the form of time, time which could have been better spent doing things like cleaning my bathroom.
Yes so I wasted my time...
Also the fact remains that I am considered every one's "Rock" I'm loyal, I don't Judge, and I don't spill their secrets. I know things about people which they think I don't know about them because people know I wont tell anyone what I know.. If that sounded confusing its because it is, and its complicated beyond reasoning...
So this notion of "friends" is overrated.
Maybe I don’t have good friends, it could be, maybe its how life goes on.
Any-which-way.. I'm done with the concept of Friends.. I don’t need any new ones.. Been let down by most of whom have been around. So I don’t think I need anyone to repeat history.
"Friends" they call themselves... or At least I did...

i disagree. i think ur just not letting your friends be there for you. but maybe thats because what you expect of someone is a level of 'being there' that is very hard to live upto. if not impossible.
Welcome to the real world.
What Sue says is true. Your expecting too much from your friends.
You do get that unique type of friend... but they are one in a million.
Don't know if its your thing... but check out this song. It's what I think about when thinking about this topic.

so did I. But you really shouldnt tar everyone with the same brush just be glad for the heartaches that lets you separate the wheat from the chaff.
i see the puss cake shining through :p
is there something in the water these days? everyone is going on about being let down and being backstabbed etc etc.
the whole concept of a friend (imho) is to give without expecting, which is of course impossible as humans. when you give expect it to be returned as and when you need. the question is, to what extent? like sue said, expecting your friends to be there for you 100% is impossible (not to mention selfish) and you end up being disappointed.
sue, how kind of your to jump to conclusions :) well i sorted you out.
foxhound, I don't expect anything from anyone.. there's been only one person that i've expected to be there that's it. what i'm talking about here is not someone turning their back on me or not being there for me.. its case of doing the right thing and keeping to their word.
Dili, the funny thing is like i said maybe I dont have good friends, because they all can't stick to their word.
PP, sue was a bit confused.. dont think you want to follow in her footsteps. I'll forgive you for misunderstanding :)
Like i told Fox, its not about being 100% there for "me" its about being able to stick your word and duty. On a personal level no can dissappoint me. I dont really care if anyone tells me they dont' want to talk to me from now till they die.. The only thing i'll say is "alright have a nice life"
So as much as I appreciate the wisdom imparted by all, i Think you guys are painting me with the same brush, I expected too much and I've been let down. Hardly the case..
a) I've wasted my time with fools..
b) What I expected was not really personal..
So can you try again? Make me feel good this time? ;)
i'm mildly amused by all the abuse.scratch that..i'm vastly amused . and blame you completely for the cryptic posts. rule no 1 bout bitch fests grasshopper, its all about the specifics. learn from the master.( kudos if you spotted the subtle yet effective karate kid reference)
more to the point though, about sticking to their word...i think perhaps the problem you're quibbling with is human nature....which inevitable comes down to at some point someone will some how fuck up. they will tell you one thing and turn around and change thier minds.
Its not exactly an ideal situation to be someone's friend in that kinda situ..but then again its not exactly ideal to expect it never to happen either.
we are a falliable species. perhaps some of us more than others?
We talked about this the other day so guess I don't have to elaborate too much. I think we have to just come to terms with the fact that friendship is overrated and that people fail you just the way you may have failed them. And if they can't change even after you've made it clear and made an effort on your part, then they are not worth your time and energy.
Tell me about it!
sue, I'm not laughing, cos of you everyone when on a tangent! Btw sue.. I dont think it was from Karate Kid.. More along the lines of Kung Fu but then again i'm just a grasshopper :)
sach, yup.. discussed the matter and i have no regrets really.. just a bitched up situation.
scrump, I see you speak with experience! :) learn from your mistakes is all i can say..
