Have you noticed how it is so common for friends in America to use each other that most people don't see a problem with it?

For example, if a friend only hits you up for favors most people don't see a problem with it. I think it is because of people always calling their acquaintances their friends, so people can't tell the difference and many people don't appreciate friendships here. Also a true friend doesn't only hit you up for that. Also cause of the personalities of so many people here, they see nothing wrong with using people.

Doing a favor for someone I don't feel is being used because I have the choice to say no I can't. Same thing if I ask someone a favor. I won't get upset if they say no. It happens, and I repeat they can't help me out.

This whole friend acquaintance thing I don't understand what you mean. I can tell the difference between a friend and an acquaintance quite easily. Maybe some people can't, but I'd go back to my original point that people can say no.

If you ONLY or MAINLY hit someone up for favors than that person is not your true friend. A true friend you don't ONLY or MAINLY hit them up for favors. At that point when you Only or mainly hit them up for that then you are using them and a true friend you don't use. You actually appreciate them and hit them up for a variety of things. You not telling the difference between friends and acquaintances tells it all. That is why there is so much sucky friendships here.

Look up the difference between acquaintances and friends.

You must be American, Canadian, British, Australian, or New Zealander.

I said I know the difference between friends and acquaintances. Goodbye.

[Asker]

You are always saying dumb things.

I have noticed that some people dont know how to be friends and some people are fine with being used (they're desperate)

[Asker]

What Im saying is that have you noticed that people from other countries truly appreciate their friends while here , there are people who appreciate true friendships but at the same time too much of high percentage use people that they consider a good friend. Other countries it is not that high the percentage. Have you noticed that?

[Mariogirl09]

Oo I don't know about other countries like that. I don't know how you can know about other countries civilians unless you're friends online

[Asker]

You talk to people from other countries in person, online, etc. The point is have you noticed how it is so common for people to use their friends here that they see nothing wrong with it when that is not what a true friend does?

[Mariogirl09]

Yes its bizarre

[Asker]

@mariogirl09 do you notice what I am saying?

[Asker]

@mariogirl09 most people that I have told to here for example, how I had a friend that mainly only hit me up for money and other favors and they saw nothing wrong with it. That guy was supposed to be a true friend because he used to be one yet he changed. More people on the other hand judge me as a single guy for looking at a woman's ass or something. Lol. People think things like that are worse than your true friends using you.

[Mariogirl09]

No i see something wrong with that. The right thing to do was set up boundaries with the "friend". You staring at a womans ass is what guys do but its more acceptable to do it while she's not looking

[Asker]

I set up boundaries and cussed that guy out. He played the victim but I stopped putting with that shit. I became a tougher person and stopped letting people walk all over me. I saw people on another light. Unfortunately it is so common for people to be weird that I get over things so fast now. I realized it is a thing that happens to so many people here in America. Someone yells at my face and I don't get phased that much for example. Lol

[Asker]

@mariogirl09 what do you think of me cussing him out?

[Mariogirl09]

Maybe you should of calmly let him know but I dont blame you either for getting so frazzled you cussed him out lol

[strateguy632]

but my friends never tried to use me? all these years? they offered to give to me!
