Am I Asking For to Much?

I just want a true friend or 2. One who won't judge me. Won't cause drama.One who won't lie and won't stab me in the back.One who won't disrespect me.One who is not Two Faced. Is that asking for to much? Because so far i can't find anyone that is not a back stabber etc.I at times just want to say %#@&#! it and not try to be friends with anyone any more.Tired of the drama and heartache.

NO....... YOU are NOT asking to much (and) believe it or not - I used to have this type of relationship with a very good friend from eight grade... this best friendship lasted 23 great years, but then she changed.

friendships are hard
most research suggests we have good friends for each major life period
childhood
teen
20's
etc
etc

ive got a couple good friends
it requires taking chances
and explanation
and understanding
and not takin things too personally
from both sides
its hard work but worth it when they are found

im with rap u are not asking for too much as it is something we all seem to search for at some stage in someone

the rite person will come along and u may not even realize it
being friends with urself is even harder work...

It seems i am. Because when i tell people how i feel. They tell me i'm not excepting them for themselves. But why should i like or want to be friends with folks who are selfish and rude?

I don't think you are asking for too much...just remember their lives revolve around them.

I'm a big believer in the fact that most of us are completely unaware how our words and actions effect other people. Some cases they are aware they are doing things that would hurt you, but I truly believe people are genuinely good and want to be liked and want to like others.

I don't know how one goes about it...my friends are limited

i say you can have many aquaintances but only a handful of true friends.
my best friend and i have known each other since infant school, see each other most days socialise and we always go on holiday together. we know each other inside out and i consider myself extremely lucky.
i am so sad you have had these experiences so far, but you will find true friends, compromise and understanding are important issues in friendship. me and my 'sister' friend are like chalk and cheese too! english term for completely different and dont share the same taste in anything lol. please be patient. maybe join a sport club or something you enjoy doing, go on friends reunited and see if you can rebuild relationships from the past from school.
we're here for you to talk to, love jinny xoxoxoxox

i have the same issue and at times have given up looking for friends. i have a couple that i don't keep in close contact with because they don't call me much. so actually i have given up. sorry. i don't even bother any more. i am always making friends however, but a lot of people are just plain flaky and can't seem to go the distance. talk talk no action no honesty. but people do make friends. it happens. so don't despair too much. just be friendly and make friends or try and maybe one day you and i will hit the jackpot.
wow, i'm like as helpful as a hole in the head. sorry.

Glad to know. I'm not asking for to much. I just don't want drama in my life. I admit i get jealous when i see people out with their friends having fun. When i go out. I mostly go out on weekends alone.But when i do hang out with some people it turns to drama.So at times i have more fun alone. But then i tend to get lonely to.

I don't have ANY friends....I have had some but either they all just wanted something from me or they stabbed me in the back..... I just stay home with family all the time and it's driving me crazy...cause im so lonely here........

When i stay home to long i go stir crazy. But i live alone.

i've been friends with my best friend since we were 12 (6th grade). we went through a lot together and we've both done pretty messed up things to the other (like the time i slept with her baby's daddy when we were drunk). but, no matter how mad one of us got mad at the other, we always came back around and are still best friends - going on 10 years now.

i think what makes our relationship work now is the fact that we don't live close to each other anymore and we're not living in our hometown (soooo much small-town drama there!!), so there's no mutual BS for us to get into together. i do wish we were living closer together and spent more time together, but i'm just thankful that we're still best friends. and i know no matter how much time goes by without us speaking to one another for whatever reason, we'll always find a way to talk again at some point in time.

you'll find someone. just hang in there! opposites attract too, ya know. my other best friend is really goth and has tons of piercings and gets mad over little things - i'm completely opposite and we get along perfectly.

That's exactly how I feel, I try to make friends but they always back stab me or they just pretend to be my friend cause they feel sorry for me. That or they're just jerks lol Anyways, I just keep my distance from kids my own age-they're basically all the same.

All craving for popularity. (in which they'll never have lol) Just recently I thought I actually had a true friend but then they ran off cause I accidentally mentioned that I suffered from a depression illness in one of our conversations. Oh Well... shows their true colors right? Anyways, just stay true to yourself and hopefully a good friend will stumble in your way.

Thanks Hope so and soon.

I often wish I lived alone..... I guess we always want what we do NOT have.
