Have you ever tried treating everyone well, and trying hard to be a good friend and would always help them whenever they are in needs. but when you have problems, they would just run away and feel irritated when you tried to confide in them.

Kenashi SG

that's not a friend!!
a true friend will share yr joy n woes.

charlize SG

That's what friends do.

Right? Laughing

Gwy85 SG

Dun Agreed wat u say.. Not all friends are like tat..

Cheers ~ Cool

rainee SG

Well, I have had my fair share of this type of people. I have always tried treating everyone nicely and I found out you cannot really expect people to treat you back the same way. In another word, be nice but don't expect your kindness to be returned. If this bothers you and you feel being nice is not worth it, then you can try being bad Twisted Evil

For me, I feel it is easier to be nice to people, I guess it is part of my subconscious. So do it not for the sake of having them return your kindness, but do it for yourself. Being nice gives you a good feeling right? Wink

I do it for my own self satisfaction.

But then of course there are exception. I can be evil when I want to :twised:

shaunlaw SG

Yes I have. And always doing that but unfortunately, not everyone appreciates that. They have problems I help them but when I have problems they are not free. Some even forget abt meeting up with u when its pre arranged or some just look for u when needed, when no needed, duno go where liao.

Blueskyz SG

Jus remember dear,

A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed.

U wil find such true friends around, and they wil always be there for you no matter wat happens Smile

Cheers

Sometimes they even backstab you without knowing it.
And it's always the case of if you don't contact them, they also don't bother to contact you to see if you are still alive.
And even if I did try to called them just to see how they doing, I even got someone telling me, oh.. "i'm watching tv now, call u back later", but the phonecall just never come.
Or even if i called them but missed calls, they also dun bother to return call or sms.

be nice without expecting anything in return nor putting yrself at risk, they aren’t worth the time to be trusted and confide in anyways.

shaunlaw SG

Ya, I know how u feel, its the same here.

But one difference though. I was super back stabbed by my then best fren when I was 15. From there, I also discover alot of ppl back stab me back then.

Mao x 2 SG

Yes, i agree.
I always enjoyed helping ppl and be nice to them without asking anything for return. but i guess you won't like it when they start to take you for granted.

shaunlaw SG

Thats true. Anyway, some have aready taken me for granted or at least i felt so.

Ito_^ SG

den let them continue to feel like that lor. u can't be there forever anyways, take school for example, in a year or so, you will be outta there or go to different class, u will move on in life. while they might be still stuck in that dependence for all u noe.

ps: farking shit, my coworker juz farted and i can smell it. got sound some more!!!

Mao x 2 SG

i even had someone who called me “brother” and behind me back,asked my ex to be a two-timer and dump me once she got to know some rich guy in SIM..

Devil1976 SG

Well... There're all sorts of people around... So don't bother yourself with the details yeah...? Mr. Green

BaByBoY SG

i guess i`m guilty of being like tt

i`ve frens that really treasure me and puts me in great confidence

sometimes i really feel like i neglected them

i tell myself
i cant please everyone in the world
ever since someone special came along

all my frens seemed so unimportant
i`m sorry but juz my personal opinion
but when the times comes when my frens need my help,
i`ll be still there, juz that not so often anymore

to my dearest frens that i`ve neglected,
i`m sorry

sgboy2004 SG

it’s a matter of expectation…

alexkusu SG

Like one forumnite said above “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. But it today’s society, there are differences in our perception of friends. I have many friends. But they are not really equal in terms of friendship. The value of their friendship they can offer me are limited to a certain extent. There are the HELLO N BYE friends, the friends who take notes for me in class…the playing friends, the psychiatrist friends, the eating friends, etc. Its just a matter of perception or expectations.

Ito_^ SG

when i was really young, i always thought friends are just a facade to make use of each other, when the purposes are fulfilled, it doesn't matter any more so i'd rather not have any.

den i realised, i can't do everything myself either no matter how hard i try or how able i am.

Yunhaier SG

Tsk tsk. Wink
