Friendship never ends... Or does it?!

Friendships are difficult. You have to work on it, they have to work on it, everybody has to work on it. The moment the balance is broken, the friendship is ruined too. I am not talking about the usual ‘be there for each other in the need’ or the ‘you don’t have to talk every day with your best friend’ but, you know – the little precious moments, like not cancelling your meeting in the last minute or responding to an email… You know you don’t have a real friend when they don’t look at you in the eye or, instead of straight talking they are happier to just dip their head in the sand leaving you to figure out the problem (or yours). I am disappointed. I am let down. I am let down by those whom I trusted dearly and they sort of abused it. May be it is me: may be I trust people too quickly? Someone has said to me: ‘you don’t have to like everybody. First, you hate them all, then give them one chance’ and it appears that this is right. Looks like I could spare a lot of pain with this attitude and wouldn’t be treated like a used tissue.
