    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Azronz, welcome&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I understand this. We older men were young once as the saying goes.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As you get older you define what you want out of friendships. You become more targeting with your approach. Better to have no friend at all that having a toxic friend that says snide remarks when you want to go home. That comment "you go then" is a technique a manipulating person uses. He likely has no idea he does it but he isn't for you. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And that's the secret- finding your type to be with. This might take some thought as to how to meet up with the right type of person. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please google&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Topic: the labyrinth of friendships- beyondblue&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Topic: words are sticks and stones- beyondblue&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Topic: festering issues or moving on- beyondblue&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I hope they help.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"&gt;Most of my friends don't hang out with me anymore. I ruined it because of my anger plus my boringness and it hurts me so bad. I'm not the only one that get angry though but in the end I'm guessing I got cut out because I don't really have anything good to offer except my boring company. We started off really tight and understood each other. They were my second group of friends. My first group I was the 'last guy' and I felt I deserved more so I moved away from the group to this second one.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Now I have only 4 friends I hang out with sometimes. Friend 1 always ignores me because he has some issues like I do. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"&gt;Friend 2 makes me more upset because he always lies about small things like leaving me hanging at a place or Infront his place because we were suppose to hang out but when he find something else to do im instantly out of the picture without notice.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"&gt;Friend 3 is has a narcissist personality plus he wants to fight my other friends. When I tell him I'm going home he will always give negative comments like "yeah you go". He got mad before because I didn't invite him to my party. I didn't want a fight erupting at my party... The year before that at my party I caught him in the phone talking to someone and saying " Ye what you doing? I'm at my friends party. Actually there not really my friends, what you doing want to hang out?" That really cut me. When his birthday came up I said happy birthday to him on his birthday and he didn't even invite me to his. He never said happy birthday too me. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"&gt;Friend 4 is still Around but he get upset easily and will sometime ignore me because I don't reply to his messages. I've also ignored himself before for abt a week because I hit rock bottom and needed time alone. It's werid because now he hangs with other people but when we was upset about me, he thought I was hanging with someone else. He now hang with friend 3 very often.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"&gt;I have a drug addict friend from years ago (he was clean when I met him) who lies and steals thing from my other friend and me recently. Ask for money and never pays back. Last night he came over, I told him he had leave and a huge argument erupted. Even worse my mum was slight backing him up because of my attitude towards him.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"&gt;I don't have a gf either. Only had 1 gf but I was just a rebound. Second girl I like slept with another guy, I think I was to slow to make a move. 3rd girl I like just wanted to be friends.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"&gt;To sad to build relationships now. I feel better alone but the lonlienss is killing me.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
