how many REAL friends do you have???

[The Uncola]

Since I just spent nearly 4 months in the county jail for a probation violation, I have had plenty of time to think about this... Only 2-3 people I know would bond me out of jail- and you have to have those people's numbers in your head or you're Screwed! I ended up like the cat that had used up 4 of it's nine lives.

I am thinking about just what a grim situation jail is. I met people who were about 1/3 evil, 1/3 stupid and 1/3 poor. That's not a club I want to join anytime soon!!! I have enough money to pay my bills and get me out of this hole. Many I met were far from close to having a place to live when they got out. Talk a out not having a pot to piss in!! What a bunch of losers! I'm back on the road to health and wealth!

Money problems and the shitty economy has really fucked up alot of generally good people and made them highly untrustworthy because with desperate times come desperate actions.

Unfortunately I do not trust really anyone other than maybe 2 or 3 people in my life and the rest are all fucking suspect. Friends you can really trust are very hard to come by and as far as I see it unless I grew up with you or we are family then you are kept at a distance, that's just the way it is.

+1..

My friends are priceless and i wouldn't trade them for anything in the world

Best GF I have known since I was about 6 years old
Hubby over 20 years is a best friend
Male friend I met online 3 years ago is also an excellent friend

Then I have other friends I've known for over 30 years but they are not like the above friends whom I would trust with my life.

Great friends make the world go around but more gently and lovingly

I L-O-V-E my friends very much.:yay:

My son, my wife, a best friend I have known 18 years (I'm 25) and another friend that I have known about 7 years.

I have a handful of friends I have known 15+ where i would trust with most things, but not total trust like the others.

Only one, my inner self, best friend I have ever had.

I have 2 that live around here with me, a 3rd that is about 1800 miles away in the air force. They are all true friends and I love them like my brothers. I dont have a real brother only sisters so they each get treated like one. Ive had 100s of people come and go but, they are still here and ALWAYS have my back. I would be lost without them. I hope everyone atleast has one or two friends like I do.

fortunate for me, i just found out i still have one real friend left. i have become a total introvert over the last few years due to back stabbers, betrayal and and down right crooked people. long story short i am pennyless and have been all week. i have no money til next friday and i dont have a single person to ask and i dont want to have to resort to doing something stupid for a couple bucks. i got a hold of a friend i havent seen in 10 years who lives a couple provinces over from me. i asked him to help me out with a bit of change and he didnt hesitate. i knew he would say yes but i had a hell of a time bringing myself to ask. i cant tell you what it means to me to know that at least i have one REAL friend left on this earth. how many do you have?

And if he didn't give you any money would you still have considered him a REAL friend?


Just a hard question to consider.

 

[billy_big_bud!]

of coarse we would still be friends. it is less the money and more the gesture. like they say. its the thought that counts.

 

[lastemperor]

Got lots of buddies and know a lot of people, but only have two real friends. I used to think I had more.

 

[TruthOrLie]

my real friends are the ones i wouldn't ask for money

 

[SumDumGuy]

Real friends are a beautiful thing. Though this is found in fairy tales and movies. In real life there is only interest. When there is interest and gain there is no friendship. There's just necessity and means to a solution.

You want friends then join a recreational club and keep it simple. The moment interest steps into the picture. True friendship takes a step out.

Much better than the unfortunate accident of being born to a particular set of parents.

QFT. Parents do all the damage.
