Hurt beyond words

[HHandbasket]

It's so sad that so many of us feel this way. I'd just as soon live out in the sticks and have to deal with people as little as possible. As it is, I live in town and only really associate with a handful of people on a fairly regular basis, but for the most part, I stay home and do my job (I telecommute), take care of my chickens, garden, and right now I'm doing some reading on how to can cuz I got a waterbath canning pot and some jars and plan to preserve some of my own food this year. That'll save me from having to go to the store and deal with people. Plus, growing and canning/preserving our own food is better for us.

I had one best friend in life, and she died in 1993. I have a new best friend for the last 9 years, my dear darling hubby. I see my grown sons, my grandson, and occasionally deal with people, but for the most part, most of my family and I are just as different as night and day & I just keep to myself.

I live in the city. Somedays just don't feel like dealing with anyone else at all!

Can't imagine it'll be much worse than school when I get a job.

Let them know and then move on. Maybe some will come around. It is good that you see the behavoir for what it is,and have told yourself *enough already*. Some people will put up with it just to be able to say they have a friend,even if that person only comes around to meet their own selfish needs.

Thank you all for the words of encourgement. I thought this was high school stuff not supposed to happen when you are 45 yrs old. Guess it can happen at all ages. What kills me is the 1st time they need something they call me. But it will all come to an end. I believe in Karma. Thanks for letting me vent here. Hope everyone has a great day.

Been there done that hon. I do try to be understanding, work, busy schedules, kids, etc. But I don't seem to not be able to drop everything to help them so it's kinda hard to be understanding that on the rare occasion I need and actually ask for help they refuse to pitch in.

I too just posted the same thing. I will stick with my family, my animals, the 1 true friend I have (the old rebel), and BYC.

Let's see, how far is it from NC to Canada again? If I leave now I might be able to make it on time.

So sorry to hear of your deep pain, Terri. You are the better person, for having been there when these false friends needed you. You can now move on past these people who take more than they give and leave you hurting. Anyone who takes away from your happiness, while expecting you to support them, is not the kind of person you need in your life. Distance yourself from them and you will find others who truly appreciate the kind person you are. You are in the thoughts of many and we all hope you are well and happy very soon. Take care and know you are very special and deserving of only the best in life!

I know how you feel. Those people just don't deserve your awesomeness.

I am so sorry. But you don't have to be friendless! It just means that THOSE people are not your friends. Bad friends need to be cut out like cancer...and force yourself to move on. You deserve people who will be grateful for your caring nature, and want to care for you in return. As I've gotten older, my "tolerance" for 1-sided friendships has all but ceased. Not worth it!!!
