I can't rely on any of my friends anymore

I have been having a really hard time with my friends lately. It doesn't feel like i can rely on anyone anymore. All that my friends care about is their boyfriends/girlfriends and themselves. I have been so loyal to all my friends and have been there for them whenever they needed me. I don't like relationships because i still feel like im young and i dont want to be commited until i feel like im ready. The way i look at it is that i have my whole life to be commited to one person so why ruin the best years of my life worrying about that now (i'm in college).
All of my friends have put their relationship before my friendship with them. I feel like I lost almost ALL my friends because of this. It sucks and I almost forget how to make new friends. I have had these friends for years and years now and i havent made the effort to make any new ones. Is this normal? I'm so sick of people leaving me for relationships. I miss my friendships i use to have with these people but it doesnt seem like its ever going to be the same again. Has anyone felt this way? And how can i open up again to new people because i feel like i cant trust anyone anymore and its really giving me a hard time making new friends :(

  • Have you discussed this with your friends? It seems that they break the code of "bros before hoes." Honestly though I say that you should talk to them. Talking can help. Also when a person is in a relationship they tend to only want to spend time with them. I mean they're your partner. Don't be mad at them for wanting some quality time with their partner.

    I think you're talking about loyalty aren't you? I understand. Listen, I had certain friends tell me that they'd look after me, but they never did. I probably feel just as hurt as you do about that. Time shows who your true friends really are. If your friends aren't the kind to even want a bit of time with you, well I'd start looking for better friends. A real friend doesn't just stop contact with you for no reason. Though, I can forgive one's who have to juggle a love life with work commitments and social life.

    Wow when your friends get married one day and want to spend every single day and night with their wives, its really going to shock you.

    Your friends are allowed girlfriends, that's just a part of growing up. It doesn't mean your 'bros' are not your friends anymore, they just don't want to do sleepovers with you anymore.
