Real Friends
Relationship Stress / by Sportster360

...See more Is it even possible to find real friends as an adult? When I was a kid I got along with everyone, but now coming up on 30 I realize I haven't had a real friend in over a decade. It seems like everyone is just looking for ways to use you to improve their own lives. Over the past ten years or so, I've "loaned" over $300,000 to various people I called friends (gotten none of it back of course). It seems like every person I meet ends up having the relationship degrade to them demanding money from me for various reasons until I finally try to cut them off from hurting too much, at which point I get to hear all about what a horrible, selfish, uncaring person I am for not giving them more. Heck, I even got a message the other day saying "I know you don't know me, but my cousin said you helped her and I was wondering if I could have some money." Guess it's a new low when people start asking you for money on the very first sentence they say to you. Does anyone else have problems like this? Why does it seem so impossible to find anyone who cares about me as more than just a tool to fix their problems?
