Anyone else seem to give up on friendships eventually?

I don’t know who my real friends are or were. I’ve never known or can’t tell who is a true friend or not to me. Is there something wrong with me? I always just feel like every ‘friend’ I make and meet are just fake? Like I’ll think I had a good time with them, they’re there for me at times, they don’t make me feel alone, I have someone to talk to and share stuff with, go to places with. But then they’re not always there for me or I feel let down at some point. I know no one is perfect but I just don’t know.

I think friendships really are based on a reason, a season, or a lifetime. I'm not a fan of having large quantities of friends. It's better to have 1 or 2 good lifelong friends rather than dozens or hundreds that breeze in and out of your life like leaves on your lawn.

People can promise the world. It's only after time has gone by that you can tell if they meant it or not.
@KuroNeko I know :/ it’s not fun, makes you feel blindsided

@meetingmeinthepouringrain Some people just don't know themselves very well. They probably believe what they say when they say it.

I don't give up on them but my long term friends are just that....it took time! Here I have found that friendships are difficult to make and maintain (aside from a few that know who they are.) This should be a place to meet and form friendships but I don't think it actually works that way for most. Very strange..

I have never had a long term friendship. My friendships throughout my life have all been "temporary", where we get to know each other, hang out for a bit, and then go our separate ways and never see each other again.

They are fake because they think you are fake too. Get real and you will automatically repel fakes ones. You will have much fewer friends but real ones. Get dead real

Idc they're what they are, we go out and spend time together when we can and ditch and ignore each other when we're busy 🤷‍♀️
@Nanori i mean that’s completely understandable. I’m talking about say in group settings, you’re close with a. Certain friend from the group but they ignore you when you’re with the whole group… or you thought you were the closest to them but turns out you’re the least closest to them out of the whole group…… idk it’s disappointing and upsetting just feeling blindsided

You are your own best friend.

Talk to yourself at least once in a day. Otherwise, you may miss a meeting with an excellent person in this world. -Swami Vivekananda

They could be with me and I would still feel alone. I guess it's a lesson learned. Maybe I was or wasn't.

Hoping to find the right kind of crowd

Barring my mom no one has really ever stood by me for long term basis. So no friend. But a few showed care and I'm grateful to them.

I have many great friends in real life. Here? Not so much.

Did you have many close, long term friendships as a kid?
