    "a friend who puts you down 9 out of 10 times whenever you're in a crowd, but then becomes your best buddy when no one else is around. That's not a true friend." thank you :)

    "Apparently, I have 30,000 friends on Facebook, 200,000 on RUclips, 33,000 on twitter but all they ever did was like my picture." This man needs an award for his work. I'm shouting him out.

    I've got people who put me down 9/10 times when I'm in a group but act like my best friend when nobody's around. I just exclude people like that from my life

  • @AntoniaParham
    @AntoniaParham 9 лет назад +37

    I completely changed friend group recently for these reasons and I know that the people I used to talk to hate me and would say I'm a horrible person and for a while I thought that too but frankly, they were people who were against my sexuality and would constantly make remarks to make me feel small and strange. They couldn't accept me because some of the things I like they don't. Maybe I have fewer friends now. But they make me happy, having a few amazing people is better than having many people who make you feel bad about life

    • @jayhart69
      @jayhart69 9 лет назад +6

      Antonia Parham I found myself in a very, very similar situation. Though mine was regarding our overall mentalities & how greatly they differ from one another as to sexuality. However i can most certainly relate to the condescension they made clear to advertise, which is what i wanted to avoid, & have taken the right steps towards change. =) For example say they were nervous to ask for a favour or something they then would ask in an aggressive or bluntly rude manner, which when i would explain to them how they did not need to use the aggression and rudeness to compensate for the anxiety, well never goes well..
      Though at times it can be so hard to make clear to condescending individuals that you don't need to "kiss someones ass" to be respectful or nice. All the negative thoughts they use energy to create they could equally be creating positive thoughts with, which would then further better their understanding of how key optimism really is. Then saying please & thank you / accepting someone for who they are not their colour, iq, or sexuality/ the way they speak or look/ being overall supportive & so on & so forth.. may not be such a daunting task.. =)

    It’s been over 4 years that I saw this video. I remember perfectly having a best friend, we’ve been friend for over 11 years. Now That we have grown, I’m in college and seeking into law enforcement . He is into music but he doesn’t work, he has no potential, and I gave him everything, food, clothing and even bought him a musical app that cost $900 dollars. However it’s been 3 years and I hasn’t done nothing yet and I had to leave him because while I’m moving up he still On the same level because he’s comfortable where he is and it’s sad but I guess life will present me new friends with ambitions and maybe find a new best friend.
    If it wasn’t for this video, I’m not sure what would happen, but thank you for making me opening my eyes.

    Some times we are with some bad friends who bring us down, but we fail to see it, because our personalities are really similar.
    Sometimes we need to take stock of ourselves and what we really want in life, and then we will associate ourselves with the right people.
