Have you had an experience where you found out who your real friends are?

Crap you mean the ones i havint had sex with.

Yes.

You bet.

When i really found out who my true friends were i freaked out

More like I found out just how much my friends cared about me. It was when I was 15 and attempted suicide. I was in the hospital for a month. I called a friend from there and he totally went off on me. Called me a dog. Why? Because he was the one who had to tell Courtney who was supposed to have been my best friend. She was devastated and could only go on wondering why I didn't come to her. I had no idea she really cared, besides, I had moved away. I thought I'd been dumped by everyone because I lived too far away and phone calls were long distance.

Nothing specific. I think I know who my real friends are, without something awful needing to happen.

Yes. When I got pregnant with my son and stopped going to bars among other things. Also recently after my Dad passed away.

I have had experiences where I found out who my real friends weren't.

Yes, sure have.

yes

Yes.

yes, when they found out i was transgendered.

yes, when my mom died. it was a profound experience as far as my friends were concerned.

Not a major experience, no. But sometimes a small thing will let me know that someone is my real friend. Mostly it's just something that happens with time, though.

Yes. I've had two that I considered to be major.

The first is when my mom started getting really sick. I moved back home to help take care of her. I lost several friends and a boyfriend with that one. They felt I had rejected them and pushed them off to the side. But, my mom was more important than any friends. My real friends understood what I was going through and stood by my side.

The second was more recently. I went through several tough things. Bad break-up. Even worse rebound relationship. Health problems. Major financial issues. I was a total mess for a while. Totally depressed. It was awful. Instead of running to my friends, I built up walls around myself. I think my real friends are the ones that tried to knock the walls down instead of seeing the walls and walking away.

Yes and now I do know who my real friends are

Yes. when I almost died from an illness. My so called best friend said I was too high maintenance. My family didn't *ahem* want to bother me and my boyfriend didn't come around or call. I must have depressed him. I found I had one friend who was there for me at least every other day. She would call, or come get me to take me out shopping or something. She was a true blue friend. This lasted a year and a half or so.

Sure.

Nope. I don't have real high expectations of friends.

Only the time I fell of a cliff......

Not recently.......... but I know who they are and have not had an experience like this for a looooooong time

It's no fun

Prolly....just can't think of it right now.

Hai. >:(

Oh YEAH. I dropped several "friends" after they failed to be there for me after a bad accident.
