I agree with you. I’ve had a variety of “acquaintances” that I used to hang with. I never felt like they were that close. I used to switch who I hung out with all the time not just the same group. It was interesting that my Highschool friend group would get annoyed if I went out with my work friend group. As an adult I’ve pretty much cut most of them off for various reasons & am perfectly fine.

My best friend I thought she was forever my best friend since we are both adults now we met during our graduate studies she is ghosting me and it’s hurting me to be honest. It’s the same as when a boyfriend ghost but worst. I don’t know why my friend gave up on me… she was the only friend I trusted now it feels like I did something bad I don’t know.
There's true Friendships with people i've spent time for nothing, making myself in the posture : How can i help you? But True Friends is a lurr because people are making barriers since the beginning of the humanity. People became collaborators as social group interests.
Disagree! Just because not everyone knows how to be a true friend, or not everyone has true friends, doesn’t mean there isn’t people that DO know how to be a true friend and there is people that DO have true friends
I think there is but there always need to be boundaries! Often friends feel like you need to go out of your way to make stuff happen for them especially when their own decisions can land them in a serious situation.
I disagree, I have had a few friends, I known for 20 years and still going strong. But I have had of friendships, but most were not good friends anyways. I have must of lost 50 friends over the last 20 years. But still have 4 great friends.
There are true friends, but it is rare. If someone actually values the number of social media followers, they are highly unlikely to be a true friend to anyone because they don't even understand what real friendship is.
Disagree. However, I've learned its much more difficult to determine your true friends when you rise in stature and importance. Used to have lots of friends. The number of true friends now, i can count on one hand.

I think true friends are rare. I've always said I know a 1000 acquaintances, but I can count my friends on 1 hand. Because the word "friend" means something to me and I don't call someone friend unless I REALLY mean it. The simple truth is most people are only "friends" with you if it benefits them in some way.
Unfortunately most people are selfish and mistaken bonds about opinions to real relationships women are controlled by evolution and can't help thinking that she wants to be with the most desirable man to reproduce and it turns her on more because other women want to sleep with him... I'll be hated saying this but anyone who knows this can get laid but can't respect women.
Disagree but it also requires that you are a true friend. You can't get one if you aren't reliable yourself. It's a journey that usually start in childhood. Don't expect to get new ones as an adult.
I disagree. But they are hard time find. It’s not always that people are terrible and that’s why they could never be ur true friends. Sometimes it’s just that not everyone is meant to be in your life as long as you would like.
I agree with you nowdays friendship is about giving and taking favors people like to be friends with someone they think they can gain something out of this friendship

There are indeed true friends, however they are like unicorns, you don't see too many of them.

A true friend will talk shit to you rather than about you.
Well said!
Honestly I have more guy friends. Woman we are very envious jealous by nature we pull each other hair.

I think opposing genders starting from a young age work the best as friends. I believe there are less problems.
I have had many true friends, friends who love and support you no matter what. One of those is my best friend, my wife of 50 years.
Oops…”love and supple me…”
U have bad experiences as friends even if it great friends. What matters is if u choose to part ways or forgive and forget.
I agree with you nowdays friendship is about giving and taking favors people like to be friends with someone they think they can gain something out of this friendship
I disagree. There is a such thing as true friends. They are rare and one is fortunate if you get one in a lifetime.
