I Have Been Betrayed By Friends
I don't know about anyone else here, but this seems to happen to me all the time in my life. I make a friend, in real life or online, it doesn't matter, the same thing happens either way.
We become friends and close, we share everything together, this could even go on for a long time, sometimes even a couple of years, but then... my friend (whom I trust and believe to be my real friend) meets someone else, and becomes friends with them too, that's fine, great even, I have no problem with that at all.
Things remains as normal, but after a little time, maybe a week, or two, you start to realise that you're "best" friend isn't spending as much time with you anymore like they used to. Another week later, They chat to you only if you message them first and start it and all they talk about is things that they done with their new friend. Another week later, You don't see them online as often as before, and if you do, they don't really seem too interested in talking to you and take long pauses between conversation, and don't listen like they used to, and soon after say, another week, your friend isn't talking to you at all.
Not even to leave you a little message to ask how you are, nothing. You start to think you did something wrong, so you finally ask them what's wrong, and if they are upset. They give you the whole "No of course I'm not upset, I just been really busy lately" Which is bull because whenever they are online they could have spared just a moment to say hello to you or leave you a short message, after all, you are their closest friend for years now.
Then, you find out that in all this time, your friend has been devoting all their time to their new friend and completely forgotten and neglected you, spending all their time with them. Their new friend is so much more interesting and fun and better than you, that you feel, and even believe that all this time you were nothing but just second, maybe even third choice, until something better came along. Soon as someone more fun comes along, all those "I love you, your my best friend" gets flushed down the toilet.
I don't mind if my friends have friends, but not when they completely forget about you, especially when you have been so close for so long. I know, I just know it in my heart that every time this happens to me, and it always happens to me, I just know, that I was only the back up, until something better came along.
The only time I ever hear from those people now, rarely as it is, it's only if they need something from me.
