a_lifters_life Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 What's it with the people in your life who you think are your friends.... but they only tend to call when they "need" something from you (e.g. money, services, etc). I have a few friends that I'll text and ask every so often how everything is, they wont respond. But, then if they have left something over my house - they know how to use text messaging, etc. Are people (in general) just so self-centered or?

guynextdoor Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Those friends of yours should probably be moved into aquaintances category. I too understand where you are coming from thus I have less than a handful of true friends and many quaintances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glucoze Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Those are not friends. They are toxic blood and energy sucking excuses of human beings. Ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekgirl4 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Ugh, I stay away from those type. I've already dropped 3 friends because they were just like that - only calling when they needed someone. You'll find better friends to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfeeder Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I don't have any friends who would ask me for money. Raise your bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cognitive_Canine Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I have some friends like that. We grew apart over time. We're still friends but our lives went different directions and we don't stay in active contact. I will still give them rides to the airport or a place to stay though. I do not feel that they are using me at all. Are these friends appreciative? Do they pay you back? Are they healthy relationships all around.

vidman Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I don't have any friends who would ask me for money. Raise your bar. I agree with the previous posters. I have friends that I have known for literally decades, and if they asked me for money, I would give it freely, because if they asked me for money, I know it is a life and death situation, and someone I know and care about will die if I don't give it. They wouldn't even have to explain themselves. I have people that I work with that are great friends, and then a few that are selfish people. I have family that are so selfish, I have not spoken with them in over 5 years, so why would I have anything to do with someone that is selfish and not related to me.
