I don't have any real friends.

To be honest I really can't stand my friends a lot of the time. I have so much fun with them but they're usually never there for me and just make me feel worse about myself if I want to talk to them about something. I feel like I can't trust any of them. I always wind up hearing about them talking about me, or that they've told people things I told them secretly. I NEVER tell anyone my friends' own secrets, and don't usually talk about them, I know the word would get around. And if it's not the fact that they're just a bad friend, then they'll be clingy and I'll get annoyed with them. It seems like every new friend at my school I make I have the same problems with, and I know I sound like a complete b**ch right now but I'm so sick of it, I mean I know I'm probably not the greatest friend but I wish I could just have someone I could trust and not constantly get annoyed with. My school's pretty small so it's not easy to change your friends, not that I would want to ditch them but anyways it seems like everyone's the same. Normal or not?

    I am 3 or 4 years out of high school and still have that problem. Now..I try not to talk with them. I'm married so I have my husband and I have to admit that when he's not around or when we get into a fight, I want to turn to a friend but thats just something I gave up and everything has consequences. I felt like my friends weren't really my friends. They were pretty mean, while I was so nice to them and they were just not considerate about my feelings and my stuff especially when they came over my house. The friends I had in high school including my bestfriend, made new friends in college and doesn't keep in touch with me...maybe cause I'm married but I am a good person, when I am a friend to someone, I try to be a good one...but I guess they just want to have friends not for loyalty but to have fun or something..I really don't know...I really don't know...

    Normal. At least for me. Out of all of my "friends", there's really only 2 or 3 of them that I feel comfortable with sharing my true feelings and emotions with. With the rest I know I would just be made fun of. It's frustrating cause your friends are the ones that are supposed to be there through thick and thin and help you out when you really need it. It sucks keeping all those feelings and emotions inside of you. It catches up with you after a while.

    I fell the same with a couple of my friends; that I have fun with them, but they do a lot of hurtful things like telling people my secrets or b*tching about me. These people probably aren't your true friends.

    Thats happening to me too. Once one of my "friends" came up to me and said something horrible about me straight to my face. I asked her why she did it and she said because you can take it. Then i got into a fight and called her some names and she left me alone. It feels better to not be her friend at all that to take that from her. Trust me, you will feel better if you try making new friends. People that you have a lot in common with.

    yeah happened to me mate.
    like at my school in a non stuck up way id say i was one of the cool people in every year level i was in. but id always cop crap from people. and they did it more and more cause i used to take it and not do anything. you could kind of say i was a bit of a pushover. then you realise after awhile real people are the people who you start to talk to like on the net for a bit and you feel like you have known them forever years pass by and these people who you have made friends with on this machine feel like the most important to you. one day i just completely snapped at these guys who copped shit on me and i guess they were like oh fuck! ive never seen that side. after that they basically stopped now i feel like im treated as equal to everyone else.
