Friendships are something that I will never understand. I believe I have already broached this subject but it continues to baffle me. Why is it that there are always people who take friends for granted?
Case Study: A, B, C and D knew each other in school and were considered to be relatively close. At least that was what A, B and C thought. So, whenever D wanted to do anything, the rest were always game. At least they would join D for whatever reason, be it for fun or even just out of obligation. But the rest always kind of knew that they were never really close to D because D only joined them in their activities when D has nothing to do or not meeting other friends from outside or other school. The most recent craze was an agreement to dress up and go to a party together and D was the organiser and the most enthusiastic one. However, after dresses were chosen, D decided to play coy and bo-chup with the rest on plans for the party night. Final blow: D told the rest of them that D is going to the party with other friends too. What is the point of D asking the rest to pick out dresses too when there was no apparent intention to go to the party together?
So, friends are taken for granted and is it expected that no reaction would be given? I can be a real nice friend if you are real and sincere but I can be real bitch if you rub me the wrong way, aka being fake or even just treating me like spare in case no one else can be there with you. Seriously, I really don't know what some friends are thinking. Do they really consider themselves my good friend or it is just all a facade? Enlighten me please.
