(((Robot))) I can find a lot of people insincere. I have more people on here I can talk to than in real life.

I lost one "friend" who hasn't called or contacted me since Feb. She always said she was my "friend", but when I used to try to contact her to catch up, she was "busy".

I decided to cut her loose. One-way friendships don't work for me. She knows about my recent losses, but she can't/won't make 10 minutes for me in 6 months. That's not a "friend". I think she's a phony *****, and she's done this before. I decided to give her another chance, which I see was not a good idea (in hindsight, of course).

This has happened to me many times for years and years. Nobody stays in my life long enough that claim to be a friend.

I met one person who might be a possibility of a real friend, and there's another acquaintance that has possibilities. But I've been burned so much that I've cautiously optimistic about both of them.

My only other real life friend is out of state. He used to be here, but he was forced to go back to his home town after losing his job & apartment. We e-mail, but it's not the same. I used to visit him and his cats. It has left a huge void in my life.

I lost a PC friend not long ago, and an acquaintance I hadn't seen for years from lung cancer.

So, except for PC, I feel like I have no friends really. What little family I have is no better.

I also hate the "How are you's" from people who really don't care and are not really asking. Call me cynical, but it seems we live in a shallow, pragmatic, materialistic culture. It's not very "deep", and you have to go out of your way to get the support you need or your emotional needs met. That's how I feel anyway.

I often hate people too, for being phony. Acting like they are my friends or they like me, but when I'm really in need, they make themselves scarce quickly.

I know I accepted your friend request recently, but now I don't see that black cat in your friends list.
