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.
Sometimes being bold is all you can do - reconnect, the worse that’ll happen is that the friendship won’t feel right anymore and that’s not the end of the world, yes it’ll suck but at least you’ll know where you stand.
I can totally relate LilySnape. I have "friends" whom i can't even wish on their birthdays because its been a long time i heard from them and
I am scared of the conversation that might develop.
I can totally relate to that!
Even the friends I had for years and years, friends I totally trusted, can suddenly act like "é"&&ç&é§ I feel so lucky to be married to a wonderful and understanding husband otherwise life would be unbearable.
Hi Lilysnape I found your poem sad but very well thought out and written, well done you.
I did click the “ like” button,a bit impersonal so thank you. Take care ()
What are your meltdowns like?
Do they alienate your so called friends?
Have you explained to them what's happening?
i'm very selective these days.often find those who are outwardly 'friendly' when theres a lot of people around are the least reliable when things go *** up.a lot of people have to be seen as doing something, not because they want to, but more to show others that they 'care'.everytime i have a melt down, everyones like, yeah lets meet up, but it never happens, and normal service is resumed after 2 weeks.
I totally get what you mean, I'd rather be on my own than have friends nowadays
Never had any real friends, I don't think. Just people who feign friendliness, borrow money or use me, then leave me sat on my own.
That's beautiful, LilySnape.
I've lost a few friends suddenly and I just didn't understand. I tried so hard to be a good friend, and then she turned on me for no apparent reason. It makes me scared to really risk being vulnerable to people. I tried to make amends and ask why. What did I do? It really was a lovely poem that hit a note within me.
wow I did not think it was that good and it was just a silly thing I did when I was bored in class and of course I don't mind I'm delighted that I am able to help you and your son out.
i hope you dont mind i have printed this to use with my homeschooling for my 14 year old son.
we find it hard to talk about his anxietites and aspergers so this is helpful.
thanks
