Friends or are they?

[MrDawn]

Say the situation isn't serious at all. No one is hurt, no one is in the hospital. It isn't a life or death situation.

Say you have a friend. You believe they are your friend and like some of us unfortunately. We are oblivious and naive. We don't know them for who they really are.

Say that your friend wants you to help with something that isn't important at all. Well, lets define not important.

A hobby, like a video game or coding or modding on the PC. It doesn't matter what the hobby is. Just insert yourself into a situation. You may have gone through a similar experience.

Out of many examples of having a friend rage at you.

Say they know someone who is their friend who has nothing to do with you. They have this friend high on a pedestal. They can't help their buddy but you can. However you realize that helping their buddy is a waste of time and you're not comfortable with the task. So, they rage at you saying that person has gone out of their way for them and that it is imperative that you help and that they are really hacked off at you. However, the friend making demands has really never been there for you.

Is it right for that person to than turn around and berate you?

And when they berate you, it makes you feel that your friendship was mainly based on their hobbies and their benefits. Also, how would you feel if your so called friend was placing the other person higher on the ladder than you? That your just the person that is present for their benefit and amusement?

Would you be okay with that?

I would feel like I was being "used" and that friendship never was a true friendship.

Would you be okay with that?

That's an absolute NO. Close friends are the only ones that can understand the true colours of someone.

What's your answer @Richard?

Been there, I hate that feeling.

What's your answer @Richard?

Well, Jazzy. I did bring it up to my brother and I quote..

I would introduce him to my lovely friend on my left hand that is the bird. Even more so if you feel as if you're a third wheel or you're just being used.

Most friendships are one sided. People only want anything to do with if you have something of interest, or you have things in common that makes it easier to get along. The only difference is their intentions and what motivates their interest in you. Some people see a friend as someone they can have fun with. But don't want to be around when you're not so fun anymore and having issues in life. They're not there. The majority any way. One can talk to people and if you still get screwed over at work. You won't regret not letting them in your life. Its easier to say fuck them any way.
