RE: What Type of Friend Are YOU?
You are absolutely right. People are a lot less loyal and much more fickle so we tend to lose more friends than we can even make and we push people away after they've made one mistake without looking inward at our imperfect selves. I currently have found teens of be friends that have actually become "real" friends. We hang out, have dinner, sleep over, and play all the time. It's like i stepped into an alternate universe. The one thing that i can say worked was changing my perspective of who i thought I'd be good friends with and just allowed myself to be vulnerable. I hope that works for you. Everyone needs a good group of friends like i am fortunate have.
I have one buddy who I rarely hangout with, were both pretty busy and have girlfriends and stuff but whom I can pickup the phone and would drop what he was doign to come help me with something and vice versa. I can talk to him about serious stuff, ask him for advice, etc. The rest of my "friends" are more casual acquantances who would break plans last minute the second something better came up to do. I find a lot of people are like that these days but like you said if you find a good friend keep them around.
Ugh. There's nothing I can't stand more than flakes. I have no tolerance for them. I just kick those so-called "friends" to the curb. They ruin plans, cost money and can't be counted on. Good friends are like a good barber. You hold on to them until they literally die. lmao
