Is it normal that my friends are all takers not givers?

Stand up for yourself and learn to put your needs first sometimes.

I feel like most of my friends are selfish. they are always ignoring me to text other people when i want to tell them something. they will forget to call me back or respond. they will want to talk only about their lives and don't ask about mine. they dont like to do favors unless they benefit from it. i let it pass because i am 19 and people at this age are supposed to be selfish right?

I know I should and I did recently with one of my friends who was really neglecting our friendship but now it's to the point where I'm weeding through bad friends and I dont have any left. Well I guess they weren't good friends to have in the first place. But being alone gets old... Everyone wants atleast one close person they can rely on when they need support or when u just want to go to a freaking movie. Lol.

That will change when people get older and feel safe to stop competing each other

You need to set up good morals help the givers not the takers, or make it known that they cant get a free ride off of you anymore example: them owing you a favor or solid, or just isolate yourself for awhile.

if u start 2 feel that ppl are using u, then seriously ask yourself if it will inconvenience u to do whatever it is they are askiing. if it brings harm or stress to your life, say no. If they flipout on u or ditch u then u were right to say no inthe first place.

People are fickle.

:3 all i can do is laugh just dont be there for them OR give them the AIDS i bet theye will,take that to :3

Same here. But I've got a lot of burden attached to me so my problems aren't easy for someone to handle. None of my friends want to touch my problems with a ten foot pole. So if you're like me, ask for help on small stuff and realize some may not be equip to help with big issues. If you're not like me, than you may need to re-assess your friends and their motives.

I think it's like that for a lot of people. Myself included. Those personality types probably appeal you. The good thing is that you can probably see that in people now and you can make a conscious effort to pick better friends.

Ah... I thought you meant something different. Damn. Anyways, that's just selfish human nature. Fuck'em. Next time they ask you for help, tell them what you're telling us.

I can't say ALL my friends are takers but I have several, it sucks. Lately I have kind of stepped back from them. I do have one amazing friend who would do anything for me at Any time, I make sure I let her know how much she is appreciated. So I'm thinking you really need to analyze your friends, hopefully there is one who you are on the same page with as far as friendship. Good luck!!

This happens all the time.
Sometimes ya gotta know when to call them out on it.

People are selfish. Finding a true friend is rare.
