Do you have 'bad' friends?

Do you have friends that you really care about and like but you still feel they dont really put that much effort into your friendship?

Like they always wait for you to organise something, contact them first and have to wait till they're free to do stuff. You still do it eventually.

A number, yes. Essentially I'm the one that everyone goes "oh come on and do this one small thing, I promise I'll repay you!" to, when they in fact never actually repay me. Gullible, easily taken advantage of, a toy for people to use, et cetera, they're all pretty descriptive of me in this regard, and I don't really see it changing.

But I also have great friends, so it makes up for it.

So, you mean, you put something together to do with your friends. Then, when they can, they do it with you.... What dicks!

I had many friends, but yes they're the types that I care with but do not care back. It's not that they don't care for me always though. Then I also feel that I'm not that noticeable. A bit lonely if you ask me.

They still respect me though. When people mess with me, I teach them not to mess with the likes of me. Even if I know he's got advantage physically, I'm not scared. True.

Many. It's just that, people don't take me seriously I suppose. I also feel that I'm not that noticeable. A bit lonely if you ask me.

I have had a few. I haven't really done anything about it though.

Yeah I've got a few. One of my best mates hasn't spoken to any of us since we finished college almost 6 months ago. It's a shame really, but if they're too lazy to call any of us up then I'm not going to go chasing them. My Dad's always said that you find your real friends during your adult life, which is fairly true I suppose.

My advice is to concentrate on your "good friends" and just let the bad ones fade away.

Nah I am the bad friend.

i have a friend that beats me up all the time :P

Nah I am the bad friend.

Yeah. We now do not hang out with him often. He was like part of our group and started being a d***. He would just assume someone would give him a ride or pick him up and he never had money and owes so many people money and probably won't pay them back. that's why we try not to hang out with him.

I pretty much only talk to my friends online. Everyone's busy and have their own separate life, its almost impossible to deliberately set something up to get together. Its just not worth the effort at the end for everyone

No, not really. I have a few that I can't count on, but they're not "bad friends."

My friend has ADHD... I think you know how this could end.

To be honest, Im kind of a loner type of person. Like yeah, I got friends, but those people are the ones that only gets on Facebook to talk to me, and half the time, I don't get on there. I mean, I got a few friends that are really funny, and also fun to be with, but I only got like 6 friends that I actually like in the whole school, and their busy half the time (along with myself). The people that actually called me "Friends" at school are the ones that doesn't take me serious, and like what I said before, they talk to me on Facebook, which is a Excuse of calling me a friend just for that. Also, I hate these so called "Friends" that always want me to help them get them Money (never do it unless they give me something), when it's the complete Opposite (when I say it to them), they wouldn't give me crap, which is why Im a loner, with few cool friends that are actually FRIENDS, at school.

I don't have bad friends, but Im just more of a loner type of person. It's nice to have 2, or 3, buddies come over my house and play some Halo Reach with me or what not, but like what I said, Im more of a loner type of person, and I hang out with people that I like, and not people that called me "Friends" when we're not.

Not really that, but I have a friend that really pisses me off quite alot. aaronmullan

I don't have a relationship like that right now, but I used to have them before.

I have a friend like that right now, actually 2. One of them I always have to be the one to make the call and hook something up otherwise we'd just lose contact...

The other, I've helped alot and have gone out of my way to be a great friend to him yet he can't ever go out of his way for me

I even used to have a girlfriend like that, whenever she'd be upset about anything I was a great boyfriend and comforted her and was ALWAYS there to listen to her and talk to her whenever she was going through something and needed someone to be there for her, I also had to make date arrangements because she never would. I broke up with her when I started to notice that whenever I needed someone for support or was sad and needed someone to talk to she wasn't available all the sudden. It wasn't very often that I needed to be comforted either because I'm a super happy person but for those times that I did she couldn't be bothered to do that. :P

Almost all my high school friends were like that. But then, we take advantage of each other so yeah...I stayed out of the drama most of the time.

Not now. If they didn't put in effort then we stopped talking. Now I have no real friends because I'm not interested in casual acquaintances. Either you are a friend and act it, or you're not important. Sadly almost everyone is unimportant.

Ive had friends like that... "party buddies" is what I called them... only good for drinking and making trouble once in a awhile...

Some years ago I realized my friends are just as human as I. Every since I have treated them with the same grace that I sought for my incompetencies. mindstorm

Yeah, I had some really bad friends for most of high school. It started off nicely in 10th grade, but it all went to hell in 11th grade and I finally decided to just walk away from an entire group of like 10 people at the beginning of senior year because I'd just had enough. I was able to strengthen friendships with other people (who are now my best friends), and it was a great choice in the end.t3hrubikscube

Had the same issue here. A few good friends I had instantly turned into complete asses a year later. Why that happened I'll never know.

I do, but I'm the one who does that too sometimes. It's just a difference of closeness for me, I don't get attached very easily.

I have those friends that are trying to good but end up going on the wrong path
