What's the point of making "friends" when all they do is lie to you, abandon you, and crush your soul?

Sounds like you never made any friends
-
Because before they do all that, they really are good friends.
-
So you can be truly grateful when true friends who don't lie, abondon you, or crush your soul come along. =)

that's sad Satine. Is that your experience? I wish I knew what to say. People are fallible creatures, and few manage to get through life without having hurt someone deeply or having been hurt, often many times. All we can do is accept their fallibility (while acknowledging the hurt they have caused) and move on, looking round before we form another friendship to see, who, amongst our aquaintances, shows the best qualities.

Satine, believe me when I say this to you, it may feel as if your friends are gone. They may not reply to your emails when you tried to help. They may disappear from sight right now. But they never forget you, they never leave you. Give them a little while... let them get sorted out. I am assuming of course you and I are talking about the same thing. Please give them a little time. They'll never forget you

Friends don't do that. When you have good true friends you will not experience that.
-
They say we only make a couple of true friends in our lifetime. Maybe you haven't found them yet. That's why you should keep searching.
-
So that you can learn their deepest secrets and punish them later. Or. To gain insight on yourself and the way life works. To form meaningful relationships that aren't all broken, and have someone to gush over the hot coffee guy with.

Those kind of people aren't real friends at all as you've discovered. People can be deceiving. That shouldn't stop you from meeting new people. Maybe you should be a little more reserved as to whom you wish to include in your circle of true friends. Be sure they respect you and like you for who you are. NEVER be who they want you to be.
-
Yeah those aren't friends. Those are assholes. There's a difference.
-
All friendships go through ups and downs, sometimes friends may appear to abandon you, but there's always hope. Be it for reconcilliation, finding new friends, or somply letting go and moving on. The choice that's in your hands after a falling out is this, which one of those do you want?
-
That's what I want to know. I've been trying to figure it out for years. I suppose that it's their job. They make you stronger for the real world or something like that.
-
Yeah, those aren't friends, those people are what's now classified as "frenemies". Kick them to the curb if you haven't already. Real friends are worth making. If you're wondering how to identify "real" friends from "frenemies", "real" friends don't do any of the things you just listed. I learned that one the hard way. Good luck to you.
-
Well those people are not friends
-
I am 37 years old. I'd like to say in all that time I've made lots of friends, but I can count the people I'd take a bullet for on 1 hand, and so I'd say true friends are few. Those people you describe are aquaintnances, and, as one bagger said earlier, assholes.
