Is it possible to be too good for someone else as a friend?

[jennifer_bloom]

Like I had people reject me because my life was so unique they thought I lied about everything

I had people reject my friendship because I held myself and them to a standard they found to be unbearable and unattainable

I had people reject my friendship because my understanding of the bible was so complicated they assumed I lied and made the whole thing up

And I had people reject me for talking too fast, using too many big words, having too much money, being too happy, being too confident, being too humble etc…

1000% yes I realize everyday people just use others and when they have nothing else to gain from them they cut them off

[Marianna546]

I agree!!!

[skydragonx5]

Yea life is sad

[Marianna546]

True... i also don't have any friends

[skydragonx5]

Why don’t you have any friends? Are you from fake people nyc asbwill?

[Marianna546]

[skydragonx5]

We all look at things different just because we think something doesn't mean that it's right or true I don't think they were too good for anybody I think that there are people that we shouldn't be around because either they're bad influence or toxic to us and at the same time there are people that are bad for us and that are toxic but we love hanging around with them because of the things that they project or make us feel

But I'm always being introduced to somebody and if somebody thinks that they're too good or better than everybody else I mean I'll say h i. And I will be friendly but that doesn't mean that I have to hang out with them

There are things that have happened to me before where I would be working and somebody would bring over one of their friends or something and I'm right in the middle of doing what I'm doing and it's hard for me to talk so a lot of times the friends that they brought over well look at me in a different light because I'm wanting to get my job done and I'm not being very social and they will leave with a bad impression and then maybe a couple weeks later I will run into them again and start talking with them and I've been told that I'm all different when they first met me because I acted like I was better than them or I was just cold and I tried to explain to them that I get into my work and my work comes first and it was just bad timing and the more conversation we have they can start to see the real me and a lot of people have said I thought you were an a****** LOL and I said I probably was because my work is important to me and I want to get it done as fast as possible

Envy. Have you ever had your name preceded by the title “Perfect <insert name here>“?

I get what you’re saying. However, I mull back and forth and wonder if leading a moral life is in fact one of privilege. Consider that someone of royalty thousands of years ago would have been considered a peasant by some contemporary societal standards.

It’s not so much about guilt. We shouldn’t be made to feel guilty for succeeding. We should instead teach one another to find that same happiness for themselves. We should have the courage to take the necessary risks to reap the rewards. We should make amends for our mistakes, exercise contrition, show forgiveness, learn from our past, and hope for a better future. Have faith, in a sense.

Oddly enough, 36 years ago, I applied for a job as a police officer and had a lieutenant screaming at me because my background was too clean.

In response to a Fakebook post about date rape drugs, I said something about alcohol being the primary date rape drug. A woman accused me of saying binge drinking was okay for a man. I said I don’t drink. Then I was accused of thinking I was better than everyone else for not drinking. I only mentioned that in response to something someone else had said.

in retrospect, I think everyone who didn’t want to be friends with me and everyone who ever rejected me did me a favor.

Folks, pro tip. Do not opine on this person's questions. If you disagree with her in a civic manner, all she does is delete your comments. As a person who proudly calls herself a Christian of 22 years, she is not tolerant. She is extremely judgmental. And she has an elitist mentality. She is not worth your time.

[Marshymallow]

Yes, it’s possible. I’ve met really trashy people that weren’t worth my friendship

[DoctorSex]

I don't know about too good.

I do believe relationships should be reciprocal and no one mart should use the other as a crutch.

Kind regards,

DoctorSex

Are you a Woman of God? If so then I need your opinion on a short essay I made attempting to spiritually educate the Spiritual Retards

[jennifer_bloom]

I don’t mind helping but I doubt I’d be the best person because my views are not traditional. I recommend asking another person on this site, but if you want I can give you my email address so you can get editing from me for free.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I just need a wee help making the Spiritual Retards not retarded, also known as helping them. Knock some sense into their minds. I did ask another guy, and I am yet to see his reply. Thanks for the editing offer, I’ll think about it.

[Freyke]

Yes, it can get dangerous if you forget to live your own life.

[one2many]

Ya, I'd pass being friends... its not you... it's me... lol

[anton_dee]

Yessss. Very much possible.

It happened with me.

[toad_sage_jiraiya]

Well now I'm curious about you understanding of the bible

[driven159]

no need to find better friends not losers

[driven159]

When you have a high IQ, it is hard to hold a meaningful conversation with anyone most people can't focus on one thing long enough to have an intelligent response back if you want to talk to someone that can hold an intelligent conversation let me know I can keep up with you

[collie22]

i don't see that

[Anonymous]

Yes it is and yes it happens, unfortunately.
