Hey Guys and Gals I just wanted to blow a little steam off of my chest, I feel like I have no friends that are with me through thick and thin, I feel like i am the only one in the friendship that actually fights for the friendship and I just get treated so wrong. Does anyone else feel like this? Am I seriously the only one? Drop some stories and vent to us, we are all here to listen and love. :) and please provide advise if there is any! ❤️

It seems like it's a sort of natural order of things for people to come and go in life, so it only seemed sensible for me to only be so close with friends/acquaintances/familiar strangers. There are other relationships I value more and I invest more into, but beyond those few I don't feel the need to "fight" for anyone (in the end I'd feel like I'm fighting for my own self serving agenda, not for the other person).

You aren't alone. I've experienced a lot of this in my own life as well. Sometimes we have to step back and rethink our standards for friendship. How quickly do we attach to someone before expecting them to prove something of themselves as a friend? Do we ignore signs that may warn us because we'd rather focus on the positives because it makes us feel good?
Not ever time, but there are many times when we either go too fast to see warning signs or ignore them all together, slowing down and acknowledging them can help prevent us from getting close to people who may not be the kind of friend we're looking for.

I have a friend couple that are not just fair weather friends, I don't what to know what it is to be without them. I always had only one friend at a time until this married couple came into my life. I knew the husband before her and they desire to be with me. :D

It's something I've struggled with frequently in the past, and if you really feel like they're doing nothing look at the ways they contribute. I've always been the first one to text or call and set up time to do things with my friends, but that's who I am. I've had some friends who have been there for me, and have genuinely wanted to be a part of my life, and those who acted like they did, but their actions were shown quite different.

Just be careful not to burn any bridges that you may regret. I made the mistake of doing that and lost some really good friends. Even after reconciling with them our friendship wasn't the same.
