Is my friend is a real friend or not?


Question Posted Sunday March 8 2009, 3:21 pm

i have a friend..we really close but she has another friend.my friend friend and i are not very friendly with each other. i mean we do not like each other that much. Anyway, my friend always hang out with her friend, and she does not hit me be or text me except if she depresst, need something, or if her friend hurt her. And i feel like i am not in the picture except if she need something from me or if there is no one she has to go to. so is she really a close friend for me or just someone who want to use me whenever she want?

You should have a talk with her to be sure, but it sounds to me like she is putting you on and off of a shelf. She doesn't sound like a good friend, but maybe more of an associate.Broaden your circle and start hanging out with other people so that you are not waiting on her to " come around" as a friend. Know that you realize that it has been unfair to you, don't allow her to treat you this way anymore. do things on your own terms and focus your energy elsewhere.

Unfortunately, noone here can tell you for sure - we aren't mind readers.
I think you need to have a little chat with your friend and tell her what's on your mind. Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel and how it seems like she only talks to you when she needs you.
Hopefully after you've had a few words with her, she can reassure you.
After you've told her, if you see no improvements, I think you know your answer..
I'd also like to ask something:
Do YOU make the effort with her? Do you txt/call her to hang out? If you don't, then start doing it. If you already do, then I apologize for asking. :)
