Friends? As in "friend" friend (not best friends!)? If so...

Yes...=/ I was thinking about this the other day and was really upset with myself. I like to think that I do have friends who I know I can count on and vice-versa, but if ever they leave me I'd be okay, I think I wouldn't care much really. Idk, I could go weeks without talking to any of my friends and it really won't affect me much. This might be because I've have this mind-set that I don't really need them in the long run, I've been okay without them for long periods of time or whenever I really needed them.

It's a bit depressing because they think highly of me as a friend and some go out of their way to contact me but I usually just ignore them or try to prolong any type of communication. >.>

I sound cruel. 😐

No, not really. But then again I rarely give any thought to things like that.
If I wanna stay home, I'll just stay home...there doesn't need to be any deeper meaning to it. Besides they're called friends (I know there's a lot of people who use that word rather easily) for a reason...we've helped each other on a number of occasions.

I'm not the sort of person that just kind of stops hanging out with people I consider friends. In fact, I tend to cling on even after a friend has started to ignore me.

yep.
happens a lot.
especially during summer break, I might meet up with friends from my class once or twice in those two months, but I'm too bus with the volunteering and going out.The friends from my class aren't exactly the people you can party with, you see.and they annoy me too much.
which is my I never pick up when one of them calls me because she doesn't get something from a class .and I don't text back if I don't feel like it.
with my friends from the volunteer work from summer break I meet up through out the year too though.they're fun <3.

Hmm.....I don't like to lose friends. But the ones I have....it's like, we have to work to keep in touch, some of them. I mean, one friend, she's probably still going to be calling to talk to me in twenty years. She's that kind of person. We don't have much in common anymore, she no longer lives two blocks away, and I'm busy a lot, but when she needs to talk to someone, I'll listen. So I don't think that's going to disappear. Besides, most of her other friends seem to be psychos. But other friends, the people I used to hang out with....I don't see them so much anymore. We talk when we see each other, but we're not sure what about. So I guess we've drifted apart. But if I'm needed, I'll help out... so it's not so much apathy as circumstances. But it's hard to stay together when the usual means of contact no longer exists.....

Not really but sometimes I really don't feel like dealing with their problems. But then I feel like I'm a bad friend.

Well... it happened today.... my friend asked me to go out with her to dinner for her birthday, and I said no since I wanted to do homework. She seemed like she really wanted to go out... but I guess I did what I should've done since I do have enough to last a week that I have to finish by the day after tomorrow... OH, THE GUILT...

Wow, yes actually. I thought I was the only one. The thing is, I get tired of things extremely easily. Things includes people. SO, sometimes, something about a friend will just annoy me so much and I'll make up excuses not to be near her. Also, I never make an effort to stay in contact with friends. Sort of like, it's alright if they're there but if i move or something, forget about it.

When I'm caught off-guard and my brain is just too slow to show sympathy, it looks like I'm ignoring the person D: (and I seriously regret having done this to 1 particular person, I lost my chance).

Otherwise, other forms of apathy aren't towards friends, so they don't count 😛

I;m a total misanthrope and make no secret of it. I dislike humanity in general so get bored of people very quickly, especially when they're superficial and care more about celebrity, soaps and gossip. In fact it's rarer that I actually bother to keep in touch. It does mean the few friends I have are very close to me and I have become better socially since starting uni but I can't spend too much time around people in general. My closest friend has been my best friend for 10 years now, after her my next closest friend I have known for 6 and I trust them both implicitly. After those two I have about 6 friends I am close to and after that everyone else falls into the category of acquaintance for me. I don't have boyfriends for the same reason, I get bored of lad too quickly so every time it ends up being a casual fling. Maybe I'm just screwed up but I figure I'm only 21, plenty of time for me to learn to be normal.

Sometimes yes, but not willingly. I don't see my friends that often because we all go to different schools and have busy schedules, so I want to hang out with them as much as I can when we have free time.

I think ever since the introduction of social networking the term friends has been made redundant. On Facebook the only difference between a friend is accepting and declining the invitation, you meet a person and you talk for like 10minutes, you ask their names then you invite them on facebook. What happens after that? Nothing.

I know its normally different most of the people, I don't even bother with facebook and even when they ask me to add them I must have been seen them for at least over a few months. I like to keep my group of friends small and it makes any attempt to get together, such as meeting up in London with my mates from High School or just hanging around with my University friends on a holiday, an event that I look forward to.

This is only because I never go out on my own will, because there is no need to eat by yourself or watch a movie by yourself but I never really want to eat out or watch a movie enough to do it by myself.

I however have never been in the situation of needing to help someone, be it emotionally or financially. But as friends I draw the line financially, the only person that is going to borrow money from me is going to be my wife, and that isn't even called borrowing. I even have qualms giving my brother or extended family money. Lending money isn't worth the aggro it causes me to get it back.

Emotionally I care very little about, its impossible for me to be sympathetic towards anyone, especially about relationships, firstly because I've only been in one in my entire life and I somehow handled the breakup like it was nothing. Also if you ignore my help or advice the first time don't expect me to be as helpful the next time. I'm a very "I told you so," kind of person and will hold a small grudge against you.

Don't I sound like a horrible friend ^^

Wow, this happens to me all the time... except for my closest friend, I'm very apathetic when it comes to staying in touch/hanging out with friends. I'll talk to my friends for a while, but if we stop seeing each other (no matter how well we got along) I usually won't stay in contact simply because I don't feel like it. I'm sincerely too apathetic to stay close to my friends (except for my closest friend).

And I'm not mean about it either, we just stop talking gradually and then maybe start hanging out a lot months later. Though it's not like I bother to talk/hang out with many friends anyway. xD Aside from 3 or 4 good friends (and even them I feel apathy towards sometimes), I'm not too social. At least I care enough to keep a good relationship with my best friend? ^^
