Miscellaneous: Today, I realized one of my best friends was only friends with...

By Less Friendship, More Cash - 06/05/2016 11:54 - Canada - Vancouver

Today, I realized one of my best friends was only friends with me because I would take her shopping, spoil her regularly, and help her out financially. She moved to another province and only contacted me whenever she wanted money. After I refused a couple of times, she deleted me on Facebook. FML

BFF

By BFFN - 14/04/2016 15:36 - United Kingdom - Glasgow

Today, my best friend told me she no longer wants an "active friendship" with me. She says she doesn't have time to see me, since she has a boyfriend and a bunch of friends she's spent years bitching to me about. We've gone from a 14-year friendship to awkwardly nodding at each other in the street. FML

Today, I realised my bestie ditched me for her best friend, which was fine because it's her first. But then I found out she's been hanging out with other new friends and never once thought to hit me up, until I messaged her about feeling sad we hadn't hung out in a while because of the pandemic. Guess it wasn't just the pandemic. FML

Teenage riot

Today, I got dumped by a friend because she said I was "too much." She's treated me like shit and basically ignored me at times since the beginning of the school year, in favor of hanging out with another friend. I guess years of friendship really can disappear overnight. FML

Friends for life

By Esther - 25/04/2024 16:00 - United States

Today, my best friend’s girlfriend took his phone and blocked me on Facebook, all because I wrote him a heartfelt Happy Birthday message on his wall. I found out because he messaged me from another account explaining what happened. She refuses to understand that we’re strictly platonic friends. FML

All over the place

By meowitzer - 22/04/2020 05:02

Today, a close, funny friend who has quite the attitude, received a long email from a long-time friend of hers, telling her how difficult she is. When I told her it doesn’t matter, that she is still wonderful, she went off on how bad a friend I am for saying that, and then deleted me off WhatsApp. FML

Today, I tried reaching out to a girl on Facebook I thought I ended on good terms with after three dates. Not only did she not accept my friend request, she also disabled all friend requests. FML

Today, I found an old friend of mine on Facebook. After adding her, I suggested friends for her. She ended up adding every single one I added, but not me. I later saw her ask one of those friends who the hell I was and how I knew all of them. We used to eat lunch together everyday. FML

You are a really good person, but you should probably stop doing all that for everyone. See who your real friends are OP.

Though it sucks right now, it's good you found this out and can move on - unhealthy friendships are not friendships worth keeping.

things like this happen to almost everyone... It's a lesson of friendship that you must learn to survive in this world. ; p

That sucks OP. But you're better off. This person was NEVER your friend. You sound like a nice person. Find people that will appreciate you and the things you do. Not just your wallet. Best of luck OP.

She wasn't worthy of being your best friend OP. She was just a leech. You're way better off without her.

Good riddance to bad baggage, OP. I've been there. Just walk away from it knowing you were the good friend even though she never was.

Say you are In a financial crisis and that you need money to all the people who say they are your "friends" if they help you they are if they don't they aren't good luck

"Say you are In a financial crisis and that you need money to all the people who say they are your "friends" if they help you they are if they don't they aren't good luck" So in this paradigm of yours, anyone who's broke and can't help OP out wouldn't be a friend. Friendship isn't about money, hoss.

She very clearly took advantage of you whenever possible, so her deleting you is a blessing. You want to distance yourself as much as possible from those kinds of people. I have had experiences with people (mostly women, but some dudes, too) who either ask for exorbitant amounts of money or will only meet you if they can benefit from it financially, and for those reasons, I am forced to cut them off. Real friends are hard to come by.
