TheMarkz0ne 962 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 Throughout my life, I haven't had one true friend at all. I know I'm almost 21, but to me it shows how superficial this world really is. I'm ok with hanging with people and having a good time. But I would rather have not been friends with the people I spent all of my grade and high school years with in the first place. I was going to post this in life advice. There isn't much advice to give. I only want your experience and how it's affected you. Do you feel that things like friendship are just another lie? Like real love between two people? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiliscael 3,960 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 What are you talking about, brother? I one-hundred percent see the point in using the word friend. I don't have too many people I'd consider good, true friends but if I do, I definitely do. They're the people who I can share anything with and who will always and are always there for me, whether it be just to talk to and hang out with or backing me up in some stupid scuff with another person. To not call them my friends would be a disservice and honestly, a complete lie. I tend to take the high road, get stoned, and fly low . . .

Scootaloodle 1,623 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 (edited) I've had bad experiences with a friend: my best friend forever ditched all his old friends, and wouldn't have anything to do with them. To be fair though he had some personal issues in his life, and he did do some rather questionable things. But that's all in the past and I'm over all of that. I have lots of friends, and some I've known since I was much younger and we're still friends. One of these old friends I spent Christmas day with, and we still get on very well and love each other as friends. I don't think friendship is a lie, sorry to sound all clique brony but 'Friendship Is Magic' Edited January 24, 2014 by Asherdangerdash 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hive King 2,001 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 Oh here we go again, time to jump into a nihilist thread. This is a bad idea... Love and friendship aren't lies, they are real and tangible parts of our life. I would trust them with my life. Humans are dark, but we can and usually do rise above that. Evidence? A kid won't automatically go around killing people, if people are as dark as is said and are only tempered by society, there'd be killer toddlers everwhere 3 "Aren’t we the same?

Scootalove 10,689 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 I had bad experiences with some friends in the past, but I'll still call the people that I hold near and dear to my heart as my friends who I will always be there for them through thick and thin. Friendship is a mutual bond between people who find a common interest or they are closer than two peas in a pod, where the true meaning of friendship lies. 3 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Airbourne 21,977 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 (edited) Do I see a point in using the word friend. Yes I do but in rare very rare occasions. I am 20 close to you being 21, had many many acquaintances and nearly all the friends I once had never talk too me anymore and also I have tried carrying a conversation once again and they did not even seem too care anymore... So yeah I am not going to waste my time with those who are not going to even care to talk with you even when you put forth effort to communicate with them again. I am now in college and making friends now seems to be ever so harder I suppose since I am older that is the case. I am also very shy so that is not a plus. The other college I was attending I had some really good friends about 4 to be exact. We all had things in common and we used to have coffee together between classes and we hungout all the time. But after having to move to a different state trying to keep ties with them have kind of diminished. I don't have anyone whom I talk to anymore and to tell you the truth its been really hard trying to transition to a new place where you know no one... But I think it all depends if you get lucky enough to meet people in which you have things in common with. I still have about 2 friends in which I have always been great friends with but I grew up knowing them since I was little. A true friendship is a very rare thing to come by so cherish it if you have that. Edited January 24, 2014 by Cherribomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we're so much more than that. Maybe it's something not everyone is supposed to experience or have. But as I get older, I start to realize it's me and nothing else caused it but me, or probably the people I hung out with. I don't believe in people changing to a degree. Somethings good or bad happen for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlight 7,286 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 I do believe friendship and love are both truths to the world. I have had bad experiences with friends, and good experiences with friends, but I do know that you have to learn to forgive and forget people's past mistakes. I don't personally see my friends as much as I used to but I do constantly invite one friend over to stay the weekend with me every two weeks. Friends are fun to have, it's as simple as that. It's all just a matter of finding similar people to yourself to hang out with. 1 matching setups with my bff pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklingSquirrels 21,345 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 For me, there's definitely a point in using the word "friend". I have several friends in both real life and online, although I'm guessing this thread is mostly about real life friends. Anyway, I do believe in friendship, and my friends mean a lot to me. I care about them and I like to be around them. Still, that isn't to say that I've never had bad experiences with my friends, but I try my best to forgive them for their mistakes. 1 ֍֎֍֎ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpop198 696 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 Yeah, it depends on the person, only really close "friends" deserve the friends label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
