First, first!!! :) Platy

When I first read the prompt for this thread, I thought of all the things I have learned from my friends' mistakes! He or she would tell me of this awful thing that happened, and I would listen. Not listen only because she is my friend, but also listen so that perhaps I do not have to make that mistake in the future.

Who are you? Where have you gotten such a jaded definition for the word 'friend'? Your post saddens me.

I am a human but whom i said friend they have always used me for their own benefit and when i needed them they didn't turned up. So i need a true friend as i dont have any of it...

If i said anything wrong @cyanPlatypus6370 abt the definition I Am sorry.

I am very sorry that you met those kind of people (HUGS, if you accept). I can see how saddening it must be for you feeling exploiting or waiting for someone and they never turn up. Hope you will meet better people soon. To avoid frustration it helped me in the past to always have a plan "B" if people do not come or also meet at places where I can stay alone if they do not turn up. heart

brave, I hear you. After many disappointments it's hard and maybe constant doubts come up, but then again there is always a chance you find someone you can trust and that is a precious chance. I find being careful in the beginning, keep the guards up to some extend and lower them with time helps. heart

Great job. Sharing things can be anxiety inducing but it is worth it.

@Tazzie That some people can be so good at acting real to use you and to trick you into thinking they care for you. Be wise on who you choose as your friends.

What I have learnt from my friends is to remain patient. You know friends are always there to cheer you up whenever you're sad. But whenever a chance, they do mock youwink

But I have realised that they are only friends and nothing can stop them from helping you and mocking.

Stay Patient!

Stay Happy!

How do you overcome loosing friends and how do you know who's fake and who's real.

In my experience, if you are real with them, they will most likely be real with you.

@weirdman Not always. I lost a few friends and i was 100% real with them but when they ended the friendship they stabbed me in the back, said hurtful things, talked shit and spread rumours. It all hurt and overcoming it is very hard when i thought they were real.

I've learned from friends that everyone is doing what they think is best for themselves, and are very rarely actually malicious. Some friends you can be 100% real with, some friends you gotta hold back a little, and that's not being "fake" or "bad" or "mean", its just taking care of the balance. It's okay to not be 100% compatible with friends, because we're all different people.
