well that depends, on how the friend makes you feel.

how are they not 'letting you into their life'? sometimes people need boundaries, even from people they consider friends.

if you know that it is possible to edit plurks? Since I see you made 2 others but deleted them

all friendships are different

the friendship feels "forced" like they only want to be around me cause they need to be around someone.

instead of "wanting" to be around me cause they enjoy my company.

you may be misinterpreting their behavior because you two have different methods of spending time together

or speaking to people

the best thing would be to talk to them about your concerns (without outright acusing them of anything)

to try and work things out. if you don't care to work things out-- i think that says volumes about the friendship anyway

and you should just cut it loose. no point in holding onto something if you're not into it and you feel like they're not

there will be people out there either way that share your ideals of friendship and you will have incredibly fulfilling relationships

with them

either way, good luck

it depends on what your definition of "friend" is. there can be many levels and types of friendship

it can be very frustrating and hurtful to be putting more into a relationship than the other party is, and to feel used

learned a few new things about this friend today, and although I don't blame him, our friendship is a waste.

sorry to hear that ):

yah me too. But what can you do? I just wish that this friend had "kept it real" like they said they would

sometimes things happen for a reason. Maybe you are thinking that the friendship is a waste

but instead it just needs to be in a different format or form?

Or maybe, you guys need to try something different?

tbh if they think it's a waste and from what i gather the other half was being dishonest, it's better to let it go and find

better people to be friends with than force something that isn't going to work

though it's true sometimes changing expectations can let friendships slide to pleasant acquaintance-ships

True. I could live with that.

it works out well for you
