I don't like people who pretend. Period. End of story. This past week I've been very hurt by people I considered to be good friends. They made plans with me, and then changed them without telling me, and then when confronted about their switch they didn't even care that I wasn't in the loop. To make matters worse, to fulfill these plans, I'd had to get a paycheck advance from a loan bank to be able to afford it - and now I may not get my money back (obviously I am not going anymore). I want them to know that they hurt me. They hurt my feelings, and the salt in the wound is that I TRULY believed these people were my friends. I tried so hard to keep my ties with them, and I can't believe I didn't figure it out sooner. Everytime one of them needed a shoulder to cry on, or needed someone to talk to, I was there. I tried to offer advice. But HEY! When Brittney needed advice, or a listening ear everyone disappeared. I also figured out that I am a "second best friend" meaning that they'd call me if everyone else wasn't available. I only exempt one person because they were the only one who really tries to keep up the friendship with me. But even then, she was in on the above problem so I am still pretty upset with her. I cried for hours last night because I felt lied too. I felt betrayed, and I felt unliked. So that being said - Pretending People, fuck you and the horse you rode in on, and I am done with your bullshit.
BIG HUGS to YOU Pool Shark...Friends or so called friends can be very thoughtless, I FEEL for you , I know what its like, Im sorry to hear u we're so let down, From now on KEEP your guard upYour to nice to be hurt...Peace
I've had people do that to me before and it hurts. (I know how you feel.) It's rotten when people are unrealiable, sneaky and thoughtless but here is something you should know. You were very lucky. I know you don't feel like it right now but it could have been a whole lot worse and now you know not to trust them at all and be thankful! You could have made it there anfd they could have driven you somewhere that you were unfamilar with and left you stranded. They could have stolen your money so you couldn't return home and so they could enjoy themselves more. You might think I'm kidding or being harsh but then again you didn't think they would ever pull this either. Thank God you are safe and use your money to do something you like without them. Don't let this get on your nerves too much. Jerks usually don't make good friends. Just keep being decent and decent people will become your friend and then you can have real safe enjoyable times.
I find most people to be disingenous fakes who can and will turn on the ol' charm if they need something from you and couldn't care less that they might inconvenience you or cost you money. Most folks aren't worth the time and effort to get to know- my circle of friends is very small. I'm sorry that you had to learn the hard way.
I look at it as asshole control, when so called friends dick me around. That, & they missed their opportunity to do anything worse. I'd rather find out sooner than later that they're assholes. Then, I'm already gone.
*hugs* well, they aren't really friends then are they? Find some people who are worthy of your time and presence
one little problem, i've never met anybody who doesn't, however much they may not intend to. just those who pretend not to pretend. usualy while playing the gratuitous conventionality game and pretending this some how makes them more mature. as if refusing to do their thinking this way were some how more responsible then doint so some other way. there are a lot of people on here living in glass houses and throwing stones. i'm not going to try and pretend i'm not ever one of them though. =^^= .../\...
Thanks everyone, I feel a bit better today. Its just really frustrating as for the people pretending not to pretend - I see you tooooo
