Friends that stab you in your back..

Everyone has them and they eventually learn their lesson. You can only burn so many bridges before you are an island. I recently got backstabbed by a "friend" and now she is short on money until Friday ... amazing ... I got phone calls, text messages and voice mails from her but ignored them all. Either you are a friend all the time or not at all.

Well i do have to admit, that those kind of friends that you described, i had in a very early age.
No i do not have them.
And i do know that no friend of mine would act like you described.
And if they would do so, i will not call them friends, or be in contact with them.
In my early years i had one friend like that, and i just went to her and told her how much i pitty her, because she really does not have any chance in regaining my trust in her, and i do not want her near me.
I think that i do know how to recognize certain types of people, and i do know that my relationship with my best friends are of trust and helping.
If i recognize this person, i just do not come near him or her, and if they try to be my friend, i tell them that i am sorry, but this is not going to work, because i saw how they talk about others, and i do not want them near me.

I don't have friends that stab me in the back, first of all I am very choosy of the friends I make, just because I know somebody doesn't he or she is my friend.

I don't think anyone is exempted from having to meet back fighter friends at some point in their life. They are like a mushroom that keep sprouting everywhere and I detested it.

I don't have much time talking back on anyone much less minding their business. I can't see the sense of doing it. Why not just stay sincere and stick our nose to where it belong.

they're not really friends. they're just figures with heads on their shoulders and walk. whenever they talk, they should not be taken seriously, they should be avoided at all cost, but if they can't be avoided in some instance, you can make friendly gestures but do not go in-depth as these people can't be trusted. they will suck on your energy until you are drained, they will only use you to their advantage and trample on you when you're down. identify these people, have a clear categorization of who your real friends are apart form those who are fake and pretending to be. accept that in this world, there are more figures like these and only few can be named friends, but once you identify them, you'll find gold.

There are friends and acquaintances. You label a person friend only after testing. It is a long process. It is the acquaintances, the so called friends, that cause us trouble.
It is all in the game of life.

Yep, I guess time changed and now you just can't trust alot of people anymore. I had a friend that was like that and the moment I found who she really was, I never talked to her again. I don't make friends much anymore because of little things like that.

I helped a "friend" move, got injured in the process and didn't share it because I didn't want to hurt her feelings - isn't that what friends do? I couldn't get to work the next Monday as I was in unbearable pain and had to go to the ER from that injury. I almost got fired by my "friend" for that and then told regardless of the reason I was not allowed to take any more time off from work ever again. And this while I still had 3 out of 5 sick days (used 2 for that injury) and went to work in a brace, using Crutches and driving a compact that literally caused tears with the pain of being unable to keep my leg straightend for 75 mile one way commute. I also overheard her on the telephone not long after speaking to an ex-love I had about me and it wasn't flattering, to say the least. The ex-love was someone I had believed an honorable, valuable man worth knowing and here years later still tampering with my life and with someone I had once believed a friend. I can make poor choices when it comes to picking my friends. Now I stick only with the tried and true ones I've had for years. People I may like and enjoy being around at work are not worthy to call friends as she taught me well.

Yup, joey. I do not like the ones who are so bitterly sweet to you and yet when your not around they talk about you. or maybe even plot against you in some sway. These are not friends. I tend to stay away from people like that. I do have good friends:)

I think this starts within the family, because I have friends since our childhood and I never had any feeling like that in a way. Maybe because I don't expect too much from them, or anything at all. But what bothers me are those of which I've met along the way, who seemed to be playing along. I treated them as real friends, as that was what i pressumed they were to me. But they were just acting as if they really are kind, seem to be sincere and in good intentions, but will definitely leave you during rough times.

I recently met someone, of whom I thought that person was what I thought she was. But left me in the midst of nothingness, because of the negatives thoughts that she has in mind..
