Just recently, i had to distance myself from the parents of my son’s friend. I usually help by driving and letting the kids stay with us freely. I gave them stuff once in a while. We have been used a lot for their personal gain that I decided to cut all ties with them. I don’t have a problem with their kids but just the parents. Never again.

More than a few. As I’ve learned people over my years of life, I can feel energy shifts and know when people aren’t genuinely friends. I don’t have the energy or desire for fake friendships. Once I figure out a person isn’t genuinely a friend, I dip out quick.

@Hanginginthere I am not.
brokensignal · 46-50, M
@CrazyMusicLover No worries. 👍
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@brokensignal I think you are better off anyway, they seem really odd.
Viper · M
Yeah, the one I'm thinking about, they were just headed down a bad path and no realizing it and not listening... I had to either go down it with him or break off.

I felt like breaking off was the best for both... as I wouldn't be continuing down that path, and since he wasn't listening, maybe being more alone would help him realize it was a bad path.

Of course, he had a way with the ladies and was never truly alone... and kept going down that path until I lost track of him.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Viper do u ever wonder what happened to him?
Viper · M
@Hanginginthere Rarely, I mean maybe if something specific triggers it, though it was a long time ago now.

But he could of had everything... he had a good women that absolutely loved him, even while he was dating other women. Good looks, good brains (though he chose not to use them). A lack of patience...

But if he wanted to dive into the drug culture, and come to school drunk with alcohol in his Gatorade bottle, there was nothing people could do to stop him, especially with the teachers realizing it, and calling the cops, and he would do it again.

@Viper im glad I never got into drugs
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
No, the person would have to do something horrible for me to do that. I don't like people who ditch others just because their life situation changed. To me, once we're friends and you've made an impact at some point, you're welcome. 10, 20 years later, I don't care.. I don't ditch people.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@CrazyMusicLover yeah I was asking like in an extreme circumstance not just Willynilly
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@CrazyMusicLover you wouldn’t be saying that if they betrayed you in a really bad way.

Yes one of the guys in our group of friends and he was one of my school friends, suddenly started to become really homophobic and we tried telling him he needed to calm things, he did not so we basically all dumped him from our group. I had a word with him to tell him exactly why we could no longer be friends.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@SW-User respect
deadteddy · 26-30, F
Yes more than once
solitaire · 41-45, F
Yep. An online friendship. Took a huge toll on me emotionally, mentally and physically. No regrets - good riddance!
solitaire · 41-45, F
@Hanginginthere They are not the easiest to end if you get emotionally attached. I WAS SO EMOTIONALLY attached and gave so much of my time to this person. It went beyond friendship and we were planning to meet. But I realised he was "future faking" and keeping me hooked. It took me 2 years to heal and it has indirectly rewired my way of thinking
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@solitaire fair, also why I refuse to get emotionally attached to anyone online anymore
solitaire · 41-45, F
@Hanginginthere Yeah I've become like a machine nowadays 😆.
Yes I felt like I was putting in all the effort which was true because when I stopped talking to them they never even bothered to reach out.
Haven't talked in like 5 years now.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Wallflow3r I went through this recently
WillaKissing · 56-60
Yes, quite a few over my lifetime, and they were all ended because life changed the ex-friend and myself to where we could no longer associate with each other.

Yes. About ten years ago. Her name was Lisa and she was so crazy I thought she was making me crazy too.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Jenny1234 crazy people are everywhere these days
Mordechai · 31-35, M
I found out he'd been creepy and sexually harassed/tried to take advantage of one of my friends. I haven't seen him since she told me.
Ashly · 26-30, F
Yes unfortunately 😔
Ashly · 26-30, F
@Hanginginthere was it bad? Or did it end in a mutual way? If I may ask if not it’s cool
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Ashly I’m not trying to be biased but I think for men it’s different then it is for women, when men part ways it’s usually more cordial I’ve been lucky so far
Ashly · 26-30, F
@Hanginginthere it’s all good, I understand
Guys either fight it out and get over it or just go their separate ways and that’s the end of it
QueenOfZaun · 26-30, F
I have someone in my life right whom I don’t really trust and am trying to wing them off
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@QueenOfZaun good luck with winging them off
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
Several but it was for the best

[c=800000] it's the otherwise all the time [/c]
Yes, decades ago. I had a friend with an abusive boyfriend she wouldn’t leave. She would turn up on my doorstep at 3 am, running from him. I knew about a shelter and introduced her to the people who worked there. When [b]he[/b] was banging on my door and tried to get into it with my husband (who shut that down), we called the police. When I heard she’d gone back to him and was upset with us for having the police take him away, I was through. 😒

@bijouxbroussard some people just don’t learn
Azlotto · M
Yes, several.

Yepp, alot of my childhood friends became drug addicts, dealers or gang members. To the safety of me and everyone near me, I had to cut ties. It was really hard but they made their own choices in life
empanadas · 31-35, M
@Hanginginthere I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area near Oakland and Richmond
