| | | | So called "friends"
Sign in to disble this ad
I like how certain people I know label me as their "friend", but they never call me, email me or even try to get in contact with me. It's always me starting things, so I've basically blocked all contact with a few people now.
Anyone else gone through stuff like this? |

Anyway...has anyone heard about the ATOZ emoticon???
(I'm just kidding. It happens, they're not really "friends" and you're better off without 'em!)

It happens with most of your high school friends after high school, it happens with most of your college friends after college, and it happens with almost all your friends from work when you or they change jobs.

| | | | I used Facebook for a little while and found it to serve no purpose for me. Same deal there, only me making the connection between people. Meh, at least I have my interests and job to keep me preoccupied. |

All things considered, I shouldn't be the only one contacting certain family members in a vain attempt at bonds ...so, eff'em..it's a two way street. I'm through worrying about that stuff. |

I barely talk to most of the people I used to work with at my last job.
I talk to maybe 5-6 of my high school friends on a regular basis, out of the 400 people that I graduated with. |

I've always got to initiate. I moved once and he never came to my new house, didn't come to my 40th birthday, etc, etc.
He's dead to me now

Odds are if you stop initiating things, some of them will never contact you again, and others will. That's life. |

A friend is someone you know, and spent time with and to some extent know, from for example school/work. A good friend will take contact and do things with you. So all these "he-doesnt-call-me-now-i-dont-wanna-talk-to-him-lol"-friends are in reality friends - just not good friends. |

I've done a lot for people, driving, paying for drinks,food, even loaning money, etc. etc. And it's so *gosh darn* easy for people to disappear. So just keep on moving...
