No true friends

[iamtina1997]

My whole life I have struggled to keep a good friend group. I felt like I was always a floater. The past two years I feel like I made a strong connection with two other girls and I thought they were great friends. Recently they’ve been hanging around with someone who has really hurt me. Really betrayed my trust. I feel like my friends aren’t true friends because they are becoming close with this girl who hurt me. I want to just give up on finding friends and be alone. I’m 23 years old and I feel like I have nobody I can turn to.

Don't give up. I'm 55 and sometimes I wonder, "Does high school ever end?" What is with those two? Where is their loyalty? It hurts. There are better people out there. You will find them.

Car103 I always wonder the same thing. Someone, I thought was my friend let her friend verbally attack me so cruelly. I’ve tried to reach out to my friend but she no longer responds or takes forever too. It does hurt very much.

Friends always come and go in life. You are going to meet many people in your life don’t get discouraged. Nothing lasts forever in this life. Change is inevitable. Good friends will come and go.

I feel like friend "break ups" are always worse than romantic break ups, but you need to do what is best for you. Friends come and go in life and it'll be better for you in the long run to have friends that respect you feelings. I know it's hard to meet new friends, I also struggle with it, but I believe in you. Someone out there is also waiting for a new friend and that friend is you.

You’re jumping ahead. You don’t know how that will go. I know the feeling. I’d not take it lightly. I’d say don’t include me in on your choice. This person disrespected me to the point I can’t allow that in my life. Ask if they’d feel the same way and provide choice. And stay strong. Keep your options open and find new friends invite yourself to things and try new things. It’s better to love yourself than be a mat as the girl you had issues with treated you like one. Do it differently this time. It’s hard but you may find in time they may drop her when they see how you are self assured and take care of yourself. As you get older good friends come and go it’s rough. I’ve cried several times 10 & 8 year friendships but truth is in both cases I wasn’t in the wrong and the betrayal hurt. I’m learning at my age .. screw it keep reminding yourself of the stability you do have. Welcome new things on instead in concentrating on the pain. It will slow your life down. Big hug. All girls get this. Mean girls club.

I agree with you about friend break ups. They do seem to be the worst.

I have a hard time making friends too. I’m always envious of people who maintain friendships for a long time. My friendships tend to come and go.

I have trouble making friends or being social, too. I'm sorry that people who seem like friends are letting you down. Don't worry about being alone. The right people will come into your life at the right time. Until then you can be friends with God and me.?

Hi. I would say for the past several years I had no friends. It's by nature that people come and go in life and relationships tend to fall out. I had to move away from all my childhood friends and I no longer see any of my high school or college friends because they all went their separate ways. I come to realize that nothing is permanent. If you don't like the situation you're in right now, you can use that time to figure out what it is you really want and the people that really matter to you. Try different avenues, and see what they bring.

Hello,

Friends come and go but true friends stay. I’m sorry you are going through this. I know that losing friendship is not easy. When I decided to live in America, I lost some of my friends but there are also some that remain.

Please don’t give up. I found new friends from my church and my son’s school. I hope you can also meet true friends. You are in my prayers. Keep posting. We are here and we care for you. God bless.
