I'm only a senior in high school, but I heard that a person tends to find their lifelong friends in college. Is that usually true?
 
I have a very soft heart and I can get close to almost every kind of personality till I find their true Me.
I had a group of friends.. Amazing. We were in touch practically every day and college kind of destroyed that. Some kept talking but not as much and some simply changed. Including my best friend.

She was the most important person in my life till she got to college. She became kind of colder than she was already. She used to be tough and kind of insecure but I think I helped her a little with that..

This year I tried to tell her how I felt, that she basically abandoned me and I felt like I was the only one fighting for our friendship. She felt offended and well.. bam lol

All that because another friend of mine kind of brainwashed me and turned me against everyone. And I finally opened my eyes.. But too late
He also destroyed my birthday day last year.. and thanks to him I lost the spirit of celebrating like I did for years..

Now I'm kind of alone and don't care about having DEEP friends so soon. Thanks to a crappy year, I lost all confidence I had once in people. I only have coworkers and family and I think that's enough for now.

Lot of wounds. But life goes on :)
It's the first time I ever opened my heart about this subject lol.


Great idea for a thread :D
 
my best friend hated me at first 'cause my former best friend turned her against me... but hopefully she changed her mind once she got to know me 'cause we've been friends for almost two years not haha :)
 
Having good friends is the best thing ever; knowing that you can really count on someone is something special and every person should find his/her "person", eventually.
 
Did you guys know that about a few years ago, I lost my best friend that I've been friends ever since I was little? Her name was Vivian and we did lots of things together whenever I came over to her house! The last time I saw her, she was unrecognizable! She had lots of make-up on, was wearing clothes that made her look like a crazy 18-year-old, and was ALWAYS talking on her stupid cell phone!!!! I was only 15 and she was 14 when this friendship broke up. Can you believe how heartbroken I was? After that day, I never talked to her again.
 
I'm really sorry to hear that about your friend :hug:

I have so many different kind of friends... I have several very close ones and I like that fact. Though outa all of my friends only 3 I can see us still being incredibly close as we get older.
 
I'm losing my best girl friend to chronic heart failure. She's been sick for two years now and it's progressively getting worse. She's currently trying to fight a pneumonia and kidney inflammation.

Appreciate your friends. You never know when they might suddenly be gone.
 
So true :nod:
Friends are the most wonderful gifts. It's good to know that someone is there for you when you need him/her. So please, help your friends when they need to, when they say "I'm ok", but you know they aren't. Don't try to find their reasons, just tell them you're there... "now and always"
 
It's strange when you think the people you've grown up with are people you'll know for the rest of your life, and then suddenly you lose touch and you know you'll never see them again. But I'm actually kind of happy about that for some reason.
 
:hug: Sometimes the best thing for a friendship is a time out. Hopefully she will realize that she's missing out by not maintaining your friendship.
 
It can be hard to stay in touch. There's one friend I've known for years and we're not really close but when you've known someone for a long time it's like they become a keeper of your memories and it's nice not to lose that.
 
Carol, I don't like Facebook to be honest. Not only because I have to insert my real name and all, but the fact that it's not like if I join Facebook, people from way back then would be interested in catching up with me.

It's really awkward when the folks and many family members have it, much less bring it up during conversations.
 
dreamerforlife That's very true that some people change for life :nod:

Kris Facebook has helped me reconnect with old friends from high school.
 
I'm very horrible in keeping contact with the friends I've made in high school. There's probably only one that I still keep in touch with (only because she lives a couple of blocks away from me and we often go out when we can) and two that I semi talk to (This is more of the fact that what's been going on our lives has deterred us in different directions).

I love making new friends, although insecurity does get the best of me at times. Still, it's nice to still keep in touch with them and all. If not, it's nothing really personal.
 
Thanks for the advice everyone :)
I'm gonna try to talk to her one more time, but if it doesn't work, then whatever. Some people change. It's just part of life.
