In recent years, I've met about 4 different friends that all want to be good friends almost instantly, and who want a very intense friendship. Usually they want to text or speak on the phone most days, meet up several times a week and do lots of things together. It gets to the point where the friendship becomes a bit too much but it's really hard to cool things off with them, and then all of a sudden they drop me as a friend and then move on to have a new 'best buddy' and virtually fall out with me.
Two of them I still keep in contact with and they both seem to do this with lots of people, and every few months they have a new friend that is flavour of the month, before moving onto someone else.
Has anyone else come across this type of person? I am going to try to be more aware of this type in future and try to avoid getting into any sort of friendship with them.
I just think it's a really odd way to behave. I like to keep in touch with people and be friends with lots of different people, rather than just one friendship and then moving on.
