Seeing someone as disposable is a great analogy for those people. Cielpur and others have some pretty good advice here. Surrounding oneself with people of solid character and letting others fall by the wayside is excellent advice! And yeah, if someone is telling who they are, believe them! At some point, they'll behave poorly towards you, too.

Yep! It's hard to deal with being labeled the "disposable" friend by others who perceive you as less-than. Navigating friendships is just not an easy task, because of the mind games people play on each other.
You'd think friendship is cut and dry; that if you find a friend you have something in common with, that friendship's navigation will be easy. But nope, friendship is not easy street. Not by a long shot. Too many variables involved.
This is an
interesting HuffPost article about types of friendships.
