No friends, Fake Friends


Question Posted Wednesday November 1 2006, 8:16 pm

I lost my best friend over the summer because she fell into the life of drinking at a young age. I was forced to restart and find a whole new group of friends. Its been rough, but I've managed to be friends with a few people in several groups. How do I know which ones to trust? I already made a new very close friend, who turned out to be a big liar and backstabber.

I don't want to continue on without friends.

There's always going to be people who disappoint you and hurt you. It's sometimes hard to know in advance that someone will. In my experience, if people are talking to you about their other friends and not keeping their secrets, chances are they will not keep yours either.

ah...true true. been there. still there.

the thing is...in life there are going to be people who are loyal and honest and others who just aren't...

it's very hard to tell who is a good friend and who isn't and it will be a while before any of us find that one true friend we will always be there for and return be there for you.

i say just make friends. not like bffs or closest buddy friends. just make friends--normal friends. and keep it that way for about a year. if they start to open up to you, you do the same.

it's going to be a long process to find out who you can get along with. don't jump into friendships because if you do and a year later you don't like the person, it's going to be a messy situation (like the one i'm in right now)
