It Is Nuts How People You Think Are Your Friends Can Turn On You In A Heartbeat.
It is hard to find true friends these days. There are people you get along with and you think are your friends, but all along talk behind your back and aren't truly your friend at all.

I totally agree. People today don't make friends, It seems today when someone says they are your friend you have to be wary of their intentions. I've read some of the responses in the against and that proves what I'm trying to convey. Instead of what can I do for you it's what can I get out of them. Most people today seem cold and calculating and will screw you over at the first opportunity. If you happen to be a nice person they see you as an easy mark, not as someone who might make a good friend. Everyone's got a hidden agenda it seems. Lucky for me most of my friends I have known since grade school except for my girl who happens to be my best friend. You are supposed to stand by your friends, defend them, and try to make their lives better just because with no hidden agendas

Completely agree, in regards to those who disagree, you probably have never had this happen to you.

True but you want to set your standards a bit higher, and the ground rules.

I agree. I always think it's better to have a close circle of friends who you are very close to and can trust rather than a lot of friends who you aren't very close to. That way, you don't have to feel uncomfortable about telling anyone anything or anyone turning on you. True friends would never turn on you in a heartbeat.

That's why it's a good idea to try and make as many friends as possible and then you can see which ones are the true friends.

Ive been friends with this girl for 4 years and one day she found a secret that i had been keeping from her(it was minor and it had nothing to do with her) I found out later that she, the girl i call my SISTER, was calling me names behind my back.

You are so right, and it really sucks that you are! I got lucky though and found the one best friend that I'll need for the rest of my life. We've been best friends for seven years and have been through it together. I'm a guy and my friend is a female. It's the single best friendship I've had my entire life. Always there for each other, always honest...it's awesome. But I have been screwed over too many times to count by other so-called friends so I know exactly what you mean.

It seems that you need to determine the difference between friends and acquaintences... There are ppl you think are your friends and there are ppl you know and know you.. Your true friends wont stab you in the back.. I don't care how mad you get at your friend, i once got in a serious fist fight with my best friend but after a couple rounds, we dusted each other off and were fine after that.. I know not everyone is that rowdy but that's a true friend to me.. Then there are the acquaintances.. Ppl you think are your friends.. Those are ppl that have nothing in their life worth anything so they judge your life and talk behind your back.. Those ppl have no life and need to get one and move around. U might not wanna tell all your business unless you have complete trust for someone then you'll know that that's a true friend to you.

The world is about making ones self happy and if that means destroying others then you are doing what is good for you not them. If your friend got something good out of turning on you then he did what was right for him to do. You need to be able to control your friends or else they'll turn on you.

 Their are certian rules of life one is Never Rat anyone out. Take care of it yourself. two is never betray a friend. The world is not about doing whatever to make yourself happy. Its about being happy and sharing the joy with others. If you get off screwing other people over than I feel so sorry for you because you will never have even one friend in your life. Friend got something good out of turning on you?? what good reason can you have to betray a trust? money, power, your friends mate? this is why I am so afraid for my grandkids..heck my own kids..The youth today have no sense of honor, integrity, or care about anything except themselves. They act like real life is a video game and they have no compassion only a driving need to get as much as they can without having to work for it. In the end your true friends are all you have. I have known my friends since grade school and we can depend on each other. I feel sorry for the spoiled brats today. The world needs a good plauge to weed out the weak

For a speaker to say that someone else "changed for no reason: Probably means the speak is oblivious to his own actions. Nobody "turns a 180" for no reason.

Or to paraphrase, one bad turn deserves another.
