Why is it so hard to have friends who don't just abandon you the minute you have a rough time?

There have been many times when I have looked around me and thought, wow, I have a really good support network....but it's not real. People are all talk it seems.

Maybe I just don't know what people want 🤷‍♀️ Just the good bits, it seems.

I'm a bit cynical...my experience is that friends that are there through thick and thin only exist in movies.

But I know of other people that certainly have friends that are there for them.

I always thought it was me.
