Why bother making friends I say
When i know I'm going to lose them in a day
What's the point, what does it matter
I say, sitting there getting fatter
I don't know what I'm doing wrong
I never seem to keep them for long
I try my best to make them glad
But it always ends up with me feeling sad
You trample on my heart like a wild bear
You just don't seem to care
Why, why I sigh
So in the end I don't even try
I sit there silently, only wanting to talk to myself or less
And give other people a rest
So now you know when you say
Do you want to play?
Why I say nay.
Hi Lilysnape,
'friends' are not people who make you feel like that. Real friends are there for you in your best and worst moments, because they want to be. You are worth more than that. Invest your time and energy on you, and others will find you. When they do, look after them because they are worth it :)
I think it's me that's a bad friend. I'm a demand avoidant control freak.
I’m not too dissimilar - plus I’ve a rather abstract view of the world which for many is just too odd.
Don’t worry I didn’t think anything of you seeking clarity on the types of friendship. I’ve found the opposite, when I stop trying I disappear and literally nobody notices me. Of course there is a balance between that and trying too hard. So I try to hit that middle ground. Like you I struggle with the ‘join a club’ suggestion because I lack confidence and feel like an outcast when I’m there - so I need to build things up a bit first so I sort of feel I know someone which is why online is easier initially but as I font use social media ... things get that bit harder
