How many groups of friends do you have to go through?
 

Before you don't feel like getting all new friends after a year?

I am always looking for new people to hang out with. I get bored with people easily, and I have to go onto the next one. Call this heartless but it is the truth.

Well, every year since middle school I pretty much hung out with different people. I think I've settled down though, and found some good friends that I'll hang out with until high school is over.

I'm pretty loyal to my friends, actually. Still keep in contact with my high school crew. I'd like to think it's because I'm a good judge of character.

Yeah people bore me easily, they just have to be really screwed up for me to be into them.

It isn't just that they bore me (which they do) but they also just really get on my nerves after awhile.

Oh they never get on my nerves. I think people who I don't know get me on my nerves more than the ones I know.

the ones that get on my nerves the most are ones that think they know me but we're barely more than strangers. i mean the kind of people you have in one class or sit near on the bus. if i haven't made an effort to get to know you, i never will, so don't come up to me going "i like pie" and assume we have some grand friendship.

ohh now i know a lot of people, which is cool since they are different; and it's also good because you can check with everybody to see who's doing what and you might want to go with some one week, other the next, etc.

yeah, i like that i've got a really cool group kinda coming together now. they all live the next town over but that doesn't hurt anything. i'm not intensely close to any of them but it beats being alone.

After High School I roamed the earth all alone, and it was grand. My college friends are amazing, they give me differnet things to think about. My best friend in College is a lesbian.

I can't seem to understand why people complain about their 'friends'. If I don't like someone I stay away from them. I'm certainly not calling up people who annoy the piss out of me to hang out.

Maybe you're asking for more out of your friends then you should be. How on earth do you meet people if beforehand you're mapping out what it is you want out of someone other than comradeship, or someone who is interesting to talk to.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but who are you to think you're a 'good friend' or interesting or not boring? Do you have lines of people waiting to be friends with you that everyone is dispensable when you feel you've got enough out of the relationship and its time to move on?

wect- sometimes you just don't need to continue a friendship. i know a girl.. we went to a concert together, hung out, then after some drama we just went seperate ways. i had had enough, and we still talk occasionally but i don't feel the need to ever hang out with her because we're different people.

I'm not boring. I propose to do fun things that my boring friends don't want to do. They'd rather go to Denny's, sit around and smoke, or watch DVDs.

Yeah, I mostly break up friendships because they or I've changed.

Not because they start to bore or annoy me. If it were as though we would never change, then we would still be friends.

Thats different all together, and I can relate to a story like that. People change it is inevitable. I've been lucky to have the same group of friends for nearly twelve years. They are basically family at this point. But there have been plenty of people along the way that have come and gone.

I'm talking people who dislike their 'friends' for one reason or another and still talk to them, and complain about it. I don't understand.

i don't complain about my friends. if i did they wouldn't be my friends.

Did you used to like going to Denny's or watching DVD's? Or have your friends stopped being interested in "fun things" as you say?

This is what I'm saying.

Like I said, I wasn't necessarily directing what I said to anyone.

life goes on, then you die.

does that answer your question?

ps - your perception of the importance of "friends" will change as you grow older & realize that life begins to focus around a family of some kind, whatever it is that you choose it to be. (im not saying nuclear family, but a tribe to which you belong, which may be constituted in any number of ways). in the words of gabriel garcia marquez, "friends are shit". don't get me wrong, friends are cool, but they will take on a secondary role once you lock yourself in with your harem, or whatever it is you decide to do about that.
