my friends might be fake.

my friends seem like they don't care about me. Yes, they come to me when I cry, but all of it feels so fake. I am sincere with everything I have said to them. But they just don't seem as sincere as I am. I do most of the work on projects, they ask me for favors but don't repay, they blame me for sitting out on activities, saying that I'm too much of a 'chicken', I chickened out, I don't think about the team, I sit out and leave them alone when times are tough. I try to explain to them that I don't feel well, but they don't get it. I help them when they are troubled. I think that out of many, many 'friends', only about 10 of them are real, true ones. Are they as fake as I think they are, or is it just my greed for more?

Tell them how you feel. True friends will understand. If they drop you afterwards then they arent true friends. Talk to an therapist too because friends dont always know what to say because they are only kids themselfs and arent doctors. Friends are there to help you get through difficult times , not fix them for you. Thats why I suggested an therapist. Youre still so young , get help now because it will be so much harder if you leave it until your an adult.

It can seem like a cold world at times. All we can do is try to retain our own sincerity and genuine empathy towards others. In time this might also result in slowly gaining a peer group of true friends, as like attracts like.

I hope all works out for you. All the best.
