That's really "iffy." You have no clue what's going on in their life right now and the reason could be anything! So try to be the best friend you can back. But don't be a door mat. This has to be balanced. If it's the worse possible case scenario and they were BSing the entire time and they really weren't your friend, then don't hng out with them anymore and look for other better people to be friends with. There are more fish in the sea than just this one person. What really matters in the end is how you handle things if you did stuff right. That makes you a much stronger person than said "friend."

Dragon,  You are my friend aren't you? Then  I will Defend your honor! Yes, I worry about an online friend like any other friend, I try to let them know that I value and treasure  them, that I really care, that I am here for them ANYTIME they need me! But alas, like real friends, I don't often have the timeto convey that as well as I would like. Friends understand that tho, That's part of being friends! Dragon, you are a valued friend.

They are not your real friends if they aren't prepared to listen to your side of the story.  Tell them you succumbed in a moment of weakness.  You never know, they may have done the same thing but you haven't heard about it yet.

i feel that, if they are really your friend... then they should be able to accept your perception of reality and at least listen to what you have to say. if they are your friend... what you say could, or should be important enough to listen to; not nessesarily agree with.  it's okay to: agree to disagree! you might just be right, but it's not your business to impose your feelings on someone, but if you care for someone, then it should be okay to at least warn them! if they take it the wrong way... you don't own that. you said your piece. if they get mad; apologize and step back. you've done the best you could do! peace-out, Saint Gillian.

True friends are those who support you in whatever you do, will advise you if they think you're going in the wrong direction. They take the time to say hello if they know you're feeling bad. They will always be friends and forgive you if you upset them. A true friend can be someone you hardly see or who is there all the time. I know I haveone trued friend because he listens to me and allows me to listen to him. We give each other advice but know when we only want a listening ear. He cheers me up when I'm down and goes out of his way to make sure I have someone to talk to.

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.

they say you learn the most about a person's character when they are challenged to do the right thing. it kind of works the same way with friends. A true friend is someone who you know you can depend on to stick with you no matter what, and to support you when you need it regardless of the circumstances. a good friend will lie to you to make you feel better right at that moment, a true friend will tell you the truth because they know it's what you need to hear and it's best for you in the long run. a true friend is someone you can be so close with that when other people hang out with the two of you, you hear things like "whenever i'm with you guys i feel like i'm with a couple." you should know each other so well that you're completely comfortable talking about anything, and you're never jealous because you know that no matter who they hang out with or what comes up in their life, you always come first in each other's lives. and that's what a true friend is- not someone who will always party with you or who always has all the answers, but someone who deep down always makes you a priority and will do whatever they can for you and will love you no matter what.

He doesn't sound like a true friend and unless you have a credibility issue with your friends I don't see why what HE said would make them not like you.  They would have to already have issues with you or be very easily lead.  In either case, unless they are very important in your life I wouldn't suggest being their friend.  Find some LOYAL friends.  Ones who won't believe the first lie they hear.\nGood Luck!

If you're lucky, at least once. But the catch-22 is you do not know a true friend until a time of crisis, or a test of friendship/betrayal. Even if you lose  a friend over petty issues, that does not mean the friendship is dead forever.

a true friend is someone you can count on thru good and bad times.  They are someone you can tell your deepiest darkiest secret to.  A true friend is very hard to find, bu you can.

If they turned on you, they are probably not a true friend.

My real friends accept me for who I am and also don't let me cut them out of my life so easily.  You find out who your real friends are even when life changes (moving away, new job, new school, bad breakups, etc).  They've been there for me through it all and I hope I've done the same for them.  These are the people you can count on when life seems to be going the other way.  Yea, there are times when they aren't perfect, but are you? No one is and you only try your best.
