I have heard horror stories. One guy I work with got written up for saying "butthole" and some hippie bitch didn't take kindly to such language.
Friends?

WTF?! Haha, no she was just being nice and helping me out. :cheeky:
It sucks but at the same time it makes you realize how good of a person you are, assuming you would never do to someone else what they did to you.
There is always good that comes out of bad.
Good point. I just don't understand it. I would never badmouth my friends to anybody, in fact, I used to look up to them as brothers and took their advice very seriously. I only had great things to say about them...maybe not anymore.

you confuse me. LOL!
Recommend not being so invested. Particularly if you're not a very good judge of character. I consider myself an excellent one, and history's on my side thus far, but I still wouldn't be anywhere near as upset as some of you seem to be (or, I suppose, have been) even if most of my "friends" turned out to be complete pondscum.
I'd just stonewall them and move on, as it sounds like you're intent on and I have on many occasions (almost always for way less reason than it would appear your friends have given you - it really doesn't take much at all in my case). Assuming what they have to say doesn't check out, of course. I'm glad you're not entertaining any retarded notions about "making it work". Mannnn do I hate it when people pull that ****. It's such a ridiculous waste of time, and causer of drama I end up having to hear about. 'Cause, y'know, it's all about me and what I do or do not want.
The above isn't intended as a criticism. Well, okay, yeah, it is. I'm just sayin', a lot of people think the word "friend" means more than it does. Even "best friend". There's an (often very good) reason for the distinction between family and friend. And there's an (often very good) reason for the distinction between the family you're born into and the family you die with. "Time" reveals all, and 2 years or 20, what you think you know is quite literally a tiny drop in a very big bucket.

What I do is bait new people at work with a false tidbit and see how fast it gets back to me.
Then I know who I can trust and who I can't. It might not be the most ethical way to find out, but it's certainly the fastest.
Bottom line: People are just weird.
As for friends, trust is built over time. But once that trust is broken, no more friendship. It's too hard to start at less than square one ...
Thanks man, I hope so too. In the meantime, I'll just be depressed.

I guess everyone is different. I don't have a lot of friends, always been that way, but I've been cool with that, priding myself about the few friends I do have being the best. Now that that might not be the case, I feel lost.
Yeah. And that's perfectly cool, except for the part where right now it sucks. -_-
I'm more of.. what's the word. Sociopath? Haha. I would've made a good spy, I think. Half the people I've ever met (in real life, this is obviously not the case on the internet, where I am much much more obnoxious
) think we're great friends, but on my end it's more like you - I only consider a very few people family. And that short list doesn't include most of my actual relatives, haha. More because they're annoying and not the sort of people I'd want to be around more than once a year or so than because they've ever done anything other than lavish affection on me (hence the annoying part ).Anyway, Cincinnati's a reasonably sized place, I'm sure you can find new and better friends, if necessary. Meeting new people is fun. Especially, I think, since they're likely to be much more compatible with you are now than old friends.

I know what you mean. I think it's better to have a few people close than many people just kinda there, not close, just acquaintances. Then again, things could be changing for me, so I can't really talk about having close friends, as maybe I have been the fool all along.
With who you are now. Bah.
Also quit moping. There's no such thing as being a fool. Only being wrong. And the best part about being wrong is its discovery! Because, the only other option is being wrong forever! So, basically, every time you find out you're wrong about something, you've just been given a precious gift.
Sadly, some of us are richer than others in this regard. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Edit: And, having been wrong doesn't in any way invalidate or lessen that which is and has been. Because how things are is exactly how they're supposed to be. Don't believe me? Here's a fun exercise: logically, prove to me the existence of the possibility that things could have been any way other than they have been. Don't worry - I won't hold my breath.

Ha, I reckon that's true. I just feel like a fool, if it is the case that my own "friends" were ****ting on me. Live and learn.
And yea, there is no possibility that things could be any different. I mean, they are what they are. There's just that hope inside me that people are inherently good. Let alone your friends, that has always been a given that they are good.

And as for "people", she means her.
Correction: I'm not a "people". You of all people should have known that
lulz survival instinct kicking in. XD

You are too, if you're crazy enough. I believe they used to call it multiple personality disorder.
