How many friendships have you lost?

[thisisasurvivor]

So I will start

First major bust up at uni when my friends put the house bills in my name and didn't pay

Another friend heard some of the things she said behind my back and I turned my back on her

More recently a friend o had helped over two decades left me in the lurch when I fled DV
Like she could not have cared less - no longer friends now

I do wonder what I could have done differently ??!

Isn't that interesting

When my father died my tolerance just went

I was like Fck this

I have helped you over so many years and now I lose someone so important to me and I don't even get a card or a phone call?!!

Go to hell

I have a couple of decent, caring friends
Who are such good people and so throughtful

Very lucky in many ways

It just hurts when I think about the crap ones

I have learnt over the last few years that being good friends with the parents of your children’s mates is a bad idea. I have also read some advice which sounds wise ‘give your friends the same energy as they give you.’ So basically if they don’t value your friendship don’t give too much in return.

I have had 3 friends die

Had 2 friends dump me, one looking back she was justified and we had grown apart plus our views had become too far apart, the other was just horrible to me.

Another was a friend from my teen years. She relocated and dumped every single friend from our hometown.

One really good friend since school, married someone and felt she was too good for me and a lot of other friends and just cut us all off! Im sure our paths will cross again in the future

other was someone who was a close friends partner. “Friends” for around 8 years. Saw each other frequently but i kept a distance really. they could never maintain other friendships. Always falling out with people. One day the new BFF was the Best thing since sliced bread, next thing, bam that person’s dead to them now! Never their fault either- the fall out was alwats something the new BFF had done! Tried to cause all sorts of problems between people. Turning people against others. I only stayed “friends” because of close friend but ultimately had to bow out as I couldn’t stand the drama! Ghosted both of them unfortunately as there was no other option
