writes:When you lose friends or realise life long friends are stepping away. What would you do? When people suggest to work on myself, I find it depressing because I always look after myself and have gotten what I want so when I lose friends the suggestion is to keep myself occupied. Am I the very few who isn’t phased by materialism or spending money? I find myself poor when meeting people, favours all the time, lots of taking but no give. This happens to me from friends to strangers. I’m seen as this person who is harmless.A friend suggested that I don’t take it seriously if close friends step away. And it is only hurting me. But what anyone refuses to acknowledge is speaking to a stranger about my life means nothing to me.

 As others have said...You never lose real friends. People who are not really your friends will leave. A real friend you may not see for years,and when you see them again, it's like you were never apart.
Do not focus on what you have lost, but what you have now...And yes...the first best friend you have is you. Because you will never leave you.

We have many new people to meet on life's journey and many learning experiences and events from these friendships. Friends are not only life long they can be very brief moments people who you never forget and gave/shared a moment of their life with you but changed it in some way.
Measure the friendship that takes place when everybody else walks over you in the street but ONE person for ONE Minuit helps pick you up.
Please don't measure friendships by man made time.

 I would recommend you google "Friend for a reason, friend for a season, friend for life" and read it carefully. It sums up quite well why people come into our lives but don't stay for ever.
You are still very young. You will meet a lot more people in your life, make a lot more friends and lose a lot more. It's just part of life.
Be true to yourself. Don't allow others to use you. Don't rely too much on others' company. Learn to enjoy your own company. Decide what you want from life and work towards achieving it. Be more selective and only allow people into your life who will make it better in some way.
