My two very close friends have always been there for me. One lives in Australia now and the other has been battling M.E for over 10 years now but they have always been there.
A girl I thought was my close friend stopped talking to me after 11 years of friendship. All because she met her boyfriend through me. They both don't go out without each other and they don't talk to any of their friends. I'm not sure why she stopped talking to me, it hurts but you just have to deal with it.
Another girl that I was friends with for about 6 years, albeit on and off. She constantly had drama in her life, some big and I'd be there for her. But when I really needed her she made excuses, tried to avoid talking about it and returned it too her. I cut her out of my life, she became abusive towards me.
I met five friends in my old job and I see them all at different intervals. One of them I am a lot closer too than the others and she is just amazing. She's always there and because of that I am always there for her.
A new friend of mine, I met just over 6 months ago. Long story short, I'm helping her plan her wedding and I'm one of her bridesmaids.
I'm an extremely loyal friend and when a friend calls at 4am, I answer and if needs be I go to them. This however has meant that people treat me like sh*t and use me. My partner sees these things and gets extremely angry. He hates seeing how much I do for people and how each and every time I get let down and how upset that makes me.
All in all, I don't really trust people or rely on anyone. There's not much point.
