Friendship Problems

If I ware you, I woul'd just not listen to those people! You are how you are, and if they can't live with that, it's theire problem, not you'rs. If they can't see what a wonderfull persone you are, wel, thats to bad for them ;) And if they can only hurt you, than you're better off without them! I know it sucks if someone doesn't what to be you friend becouse of you'r religion ore something like that, but if someone is that stupid to let that be important, you schould wonder if you'd even what to be friends with that kind of people? Just so you know, of what I've understand, it is defently not you'r falt. people are just afraid for what they don't know. And becouse there are not so many wiccan's, they don't really know what it is, they maby think you run trough the woods and curs everyone ore something like that

My friend from school (the friend in need) used to get all these candle magic and other spell books when we were kids and we would go through them together. Then she started going to church and she burned all the books and said they were evil and I shouldn't read them and so on. Anyways I never do what I'm told to if I don't want to so I carried on. My friend prays for me so I'll be saved *snigger*. Or rather she did til I told her to pack it in=)

Anyhooo to the point, Oscar Wilde said "Be yourself, everyone else is taken" (I got it on my profile=]) You can only be you and if people don't like it then tough, forget 'em, there are plenty of other people who will like you for who you are.

Oh yeah the minute they tell me that's why they don't want to be my friend, I'm just like "Alright, go away then"

It's the word "witchcraft" that gets people, I think.

Aaw Laurel that sounds really fun =D

people stop being your friends because your wiccan? whaat?
that is so stupid, real friends don't leave you like that. don't listen to them!
and indeed. if your friends don't like you for who you are, then they aren't really your friends-they're friends with what they think you are, not with who you really are. and then, they'll find out who you really are and dump you. it sucks, but not your fault!
and after all, they're the ones that get the worst: they lose your awesomeness!

Everybody uses magik/witchcraft. How many people do you know who cross their fingers or touch wood for good luck ? Do you carry a 'good luck charm?' As in what Pagans call an amulet. Using the words 'I wish' is spell casting. There's more of this magik about than people think. Those people that judge wiccans need to look back in history at where rituals came from and how they have been adapted to fit mainstream beliefs. Look at Yule, Samhain etc. Funny how Ash Wednesday falls with the Celtic Ash tree month ummm.

I think it is hard to find good, lasting friends.

I spent 5 years trying to keep friendships going with people who encouraged my "bad" side (my bitter, hateful, angry, smack talkin' side) and I think they only kept me around to use me and have a good laugh.
People who I thought were my friends for 5 years ended up walking away from me -- literally.
I tried to talk to them and how I felt that we weren't as close as we used to be, and I'd like to try and re-establish some kind of connection.
They told me to hold on a second, got up, and left me at alone.
It was then and there that I decided that enough was enough and I deserved better then that.

It was so hard at first, becuase I pretty much had to let almost all of my friends go, and start to build new friendships (which is pretty hard for me, considering I have social anexity and am so shy!), but in the end, it was worth it.
It took a couple years, but now I have better friends, zero drama with them, and a much better social life.
They all have also helped me become a better person, because most of them encourage a more positive energy, then a negative one.

Ironically, my friend real friends were people that I still haven't met in real life (though we've stayed pretty close over the years)!
They changed my life and showed me what real friendship is.

finding real friends is hard, especially after you've had fake ones before.
in primary school, i was friends with the boys and girls. then, in 7th or 8th grade(when i was 10 or 11) i became better friends with the guys, they did'nt talk about clothes and stuff and i got bored with the girls a little. then, after a while, i found out the boys weren't that great to be friends with. they were to joke with, not for if you got in trouble. so i got back to my girl friends...but it was hard to fit in again. i decided to never, ever make a mistake like that again.
and i didn't really. i became great friends with some other kids, guys and girls, the school's emo kids, in 3 grade secondary school.(i'm in 4th grade now, at 15)
but when i realized i was losing my other friends bacause i spent to much time with those other kids...and they were stupid, really. most of them. so i got back to my real friends again. and now, i've got a great group of friends, and i'm very lucky with them. we may not be the most popular kids in school, at least we're happy. but after having fake friends, getting back to real friends, and trusting your friends again, is hard.

well, in firts grade og highschool i had 3 really good friends, but becouse one of them had a fight with like al the other girls in the class, all 4 of us didn't fit in the clas enymore. and than one day we had to make a project for byologie, we had to make an comurcial, end becouse i whas the one with the camera, i had to put is al togheter. it didn't work as we planed and zo it turned uot to be a 6, stil an good grade but not good enough for them and sudanly they didn't whant to be friends with me anymore -.- so ther'e i whas, al alone on a new school. nice he? thank god i got into a nice clas the second year and nou angain, so nou i'm happy, alough a couple of my friends just can't stop waining about stuff, it makes me creazy. so I gues friends are hard to make, and to have making them is just dificult becouse you don't know them yet, en than later you have to forget about there flaws, how hard it can be

ah, yes i remember those girls....
i wonder...if you dump friends for something as stupid as getting a 6 out of 10, which is still a good grade...
how are you gonna handle people like me, that are always late. always send in things late. and they'll run in to lots of those in their life^^
really, if you cant handle that, how can you still get a good life later?!
ofcourse, i dislike them so i have bad judgement.

The best friend I'd had since 7th grade just up and disappeared on me when we were around 22 years old. I was hurt b/c I didn't know if she was alive or dead and wondered why she just dropped of the face of the Earth before telling me. We hadn't had an argument or anything. It was just all of a sudden. I'm 31 now, and didn't find out until a little over a year ago that she'd up and moved to Chicago with her boyfriend and didn't bother to tell me. I found out through an old mutual friend. I was pissed! Then she shows up on facebook wanting to be friends again. I wouldn't answer her messages for a while, but finally got the guts to tell her how betrayed and abandoned I felt. Each time she comes back to visit on holidays she'll try to get together with me, but something has always come up (either on her end or mine). I hope to see her around Easter and get to know my old friend again.
