Well, as the title suggests I would like to share experiences where you have felt you have been used and abandoned by friends.

This thread was inspired by Enchanted's (where have all the good people gone?) thread.

I just wanted to share that I had a best friend who went into isolation. I have tried numerous times to contact her and she continually ignores me. She used to be my rock and now she is nowhere to be found. I moved on from that, and have learned to let go of the anger but it still hurts you know?

I have another friend who is going through a lot right now. She contacted me in October and asked me for gas money for her car. I wired it to her. Then in November she says she finally has a job interview but doesn't think she can get there because, again, no gas money. So this time, instead of her asking, I offered to send her money to help her out.

Last week, I get a text from her, "Hey, I got a job, but I have no idea how I am going to get there without gas money". Which in turn means she wants more gas money. When the hell did I become a bank of gas money instead of a friend? Where did all the gratitude go, and all of a sudden it becomes accepted for friends to use you when you have offered to help them out through the kindness of your heart?

I don't understand it at all. Where did all the good people go?

Feel free to comment and leave tales of your experiences if you wish.

Thanks to all for reading my vent
