ScoobyDoo, I feel for you, this is why i dont put myself out there as a full on friend anymore, the exact reasons you stated. And its because of those things that I'm very untrusting of people. there's cool folks out there though, alot of assholes and fake people pretending to be chill, but givin a little time around them, their true colors usually come out and you realize what they are really like. Then you can make the conscious decision of whether or not there friend quality. Its sad though, very few people I can call a true friend, have lots of aquaintances and people I chit chat with when i see them, but they arent friends.
