Try to trust your true self, and also your friends too, you will find satisfaction, It is only because you yourself hide some part of your frankness from your friends so you feel dissatisfied.

We have all have one or two Friends like that in our lives.\nYou are holding back becos, she is ur friend and u really care about her.\nBut part of that caring means u have to be honest with her about how u feel. She probably doesnt know how annoying she really is...so hopefully, u'll be up to the task of helping her to be a better person.\nHope ur Faith teaches Patience? Cos u'll probably need it.\nAll the best to u and ur Friend.

I adore and love my friends for who they are.  Maybe its because we are older.  I consider my relationships with my friends to be as important as any other relationship and I know that I must work at them just the same.  Honesty is vital in a true friendship as is unconditional love and acceptance.  If you find a friend you can feel that way about, that is a REAL friend.

In order to have a friend you must first BE a friend.  Never expect anything from your friends.  Thats just not cool.  You could wind up loosing them.  Take a look inside yourself to discover why you may be doing this.  You might be insecure w/in your own being.  Once you become secure w/ yourself, you will not expect anything from your friends but truth and honesty.  And you will end up giving them so much more.

I find that my self conscienceness doesn't allow me to trust many.  I am 35 and still very quiet and shy.  Close friends are very far and few between.  I only have 1 best friend and I can joke with just about anyone @ work.  But when in public, I am very submissive and self conscience.  I do believe that it henders my ability to have a lot of aquaintances, but I enjoy my alone time and I do not want a bunch of people up in my business.  It is a hard thing to overcome and if people stop talking to you and  give you the "cold shoulder" if you will, then they don't deserve to have your attention,..

Sometimes that kind of feelings are needed to show us that we're imperfect so we can improve our lives better. But if you think about it constantly it will hurt yourself. Remember that God has given diffrent talents for each and everyone. So my  friend, start look inside you and see that you're precious and unique....You might never know that maybe some people out there are envy of your talents or.... Head up!!!! Smile :D

I think we all get that feeling sometimes. Sometimes you sit in a crowd and you still feel lonely. I think knowing God helps and also going out and caring about others. I like the saying "the only way to have a friend is to be one". If you look for someone else who is lonely and you make their day by giving them some attention, it also make you feel less lonely because someone appreciates what you did. I think it also helps to find fulfillment in what you do. Work on your talents and hobbies and you'll find satifsaction.

I was going over my past answers and came across your question so I thought I would check what other questions you pose.  \n\nWell, here is my answer to this one!\n\nI have had several Best Friends.  They were/are special in their own ways, but I won't lie, most of them have let me down more than once.  I try to accept that they have to look out for themselves first, but I have always been the one to look out for them first.  It has never resulted in something positive, I'm afraid.  But I don't regret it.\nI have always felt good when being there for my friends, and being able to help them.  It gives/gave me satisfaction and a feeling of being needed and appreciated.\n\nI wish for you many best friends, that will be truly faithful and loyal to you.  I think you deserve it!\n\nBest wishes!

Friends appreciate loyalty. Friends want you to be at least as concerned about their problems as you expect them to be about yours. Sometimes it's better to concentrate on the quality of your friendships rather than the quantity. Be to others the kind of friend you would like to have. Eventually you will find kindred souls. If you have "friends" who are always trying to change you or make you act a certain way, realize these are not people who appreciate you for yourself. Find people with whom you can be completely comfortable being yourself and extend to them the same courtesy. Those are real friends.

I don't feel a call to greatness but I do feel the need to treat everyone I meet equally.  I do not judge as I do not like to be judged.

I think that you need more than a friend...I think that you need someone that you can talk to who can help with why you are feeling this way.  Best of Luck!

You may have to choose whether to be a real person or continue to "fake it to impress."  If these people don't like the real you, then they aren't really friends anyway.  I know you know that already which is the reason for the " " marks.  In my own life, I have found that having a few really good best friends is much more valuable than having some "friends" who don't value the real me. You deserve to be respected and liked for yourself, not for what someone else wants you to be.

To tell you the truth I have a bunch of friends, but I never tell them any of my secrets and I don't enjoy my self around them that much because I don't believe they are really true friends. I can just see it in their eyes that they are just taking me for granted. I also dont like them because they are so mean to others. I mean just because a person is different doesn't mean your better than them. I had one true friend of the opposite gender, but now they are gone. So a little tip from me: don't trust all your friends. Look deep inside them and see who they really are. And show them your true self to see if they like you or not. Once you've found a true friend then spend good times with them.

You need to be around people who will acknowledge your presence and make you feel like you belong.\n\nLet them go to hell!!! Find new friends who make you feel like you are a part of something.

I can certainly relate to what you are going through.  I, too, am a giver, and I have felt so drained of everything after being repeatedly used by someone. Yes, it does hurt badly to be liked for only what you have or can give!  I agree that you should be quick to forgive, and not just when it feels right.  However, you can forgive someone but still keep a healthy distance from that person if they continue doing things to hurt you.  Someone who is TRULY sorry won't keep using and abusing you.  I would suggest you try reading the book "Safe People" by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. It really deals with this very issue and shows you how to safely choose people who are not going to treat you as a door mat.  In the mean time, go on forgiving, but set up some boundaries for yourself and don't allow people to walk on you.  Choose your friends wisely.  You can still love them, and pray for them, that they will come to see how they have treated you, but you don't want to give them the go-ahead for mistreating you.  If they are truly your friends, they will stop and never do it again.  If not, it's time to meet some new people.

Some people get a lot of joy and peasure in helping others, and it's real admirable, and i gotta love them for it.\n\nBut i am selfish. I am happy doing what I wanna do, i don't wanna follow some moron's vision of happiness, i wanna be me all the time. I dont give two hoots what anyone thinks or wants if it doesnt fall in my view. I can compromise, but i don't often, why should i make myself unhappy?

most of my friends come to me for help, talkin things out and such, and when they leave they all so fine and happy. u see the funny thing is that I really feel the exact opposite whenever the conversation ends, sollowin it up and leave knowin that no one on this planet would ever know the way i feel, b&#92;c even if i did talk, im sure id make it sound very different frm the way i really feel. how irionic! :)
