Question

if you know what i'm talking ab., please write about your experience

(by the way, i think this is truly sad, kind of like a tragedy really)

thanx

Answer 1

I can't trust anybody.

Answer 2

yes, i have felt this way. and yes it is sad, but when you look at the big picture, it's really not true after all. other people will come and go in your life, your family remains your family. i love my family and my family love me. this is unconditional love that can not be influenced by other people or distance. this is family love. i get homesick all the time for my family, who are scattered here and there across the united states. we don't get to see each other enough, talk on the phone enough, but the love is still there no matter what. other people will tell you they love you, will in fact promise to love you forever, but you'll never REALLY know until you need them, if they are true or not. it's a long hard lesson. remember, you will be a blessed person if you can get through a lifetime with just a handful of friends, but your family will be there forever.

Answer 3

Yes. I live out in the country and don't have any friends nearby and I just want someone to talk to, so I try to talk to my family members, but they are either to busy or to tired. They never pay attention to me, and they didn't when I was a young child also. I have great friends and a very nice girlfriend, you know, the girls that are beautiful, popular, smart, totally balanced, funny, nice, caring exc., one of those kinds of people. My family members say that they love me, but they just don't care. I have thought that they would make time to go somewhere with me, but every time I try to ask I just get told to shut up.

Answer 4

Yeah sometimes I think my friends care more than my relatives. This Thanksgiving for example, we (me,my mom, my brother,and my sister) were planning on going to our desert house for the weekend. My grandparents own the house and say that any of her 4 kids and their kids(us) are welcome to go there anytime we want. So last night we go over to ask if we can use the house for the weekend and right then my uncle calls and says he is using the house and we are not welcome to join them. He told my grandma that he has nothing in common with his sister(my mom) and that he does not want us around his kids. What the F***? Are we not all family? I don't get it, my poor mom was so hurt she couldn't even talk to him. I thought holidays were supposed to bring families together, not tear them apart. At this point we will not be going to any family get togethers where my aunt and uncle will be attending, they are evil and snobby anyway. This is probably not the right way to respond, however any one who is mean to my mom is an enemy to me,relative or not!

Answer 5

Some of my family members have specific expectations for girls when it comes to looks, family and career and since I don't fit the mold they don't like who I am. I wouldn't necessarily say others love me more but I'm often treated nicer by strangers than those inside my family.

Answer 6

Not often but occasionally I do feel more loved by my Christian friends than my family. They are able to pray with me, accept me, advise me, and simply love me in ways that I don't feel from my family. I usually feel more loved by others when my family has expectations of me that I cannot meet or when they strongly disapprove of something I do or believe. Of course, I believe my family will always love me even if my friends don't. I'm glad I have a "church family" to go to during these difficult times.

Answer 7

Yes, it's sad. But sometimes it happens because your own family is completely screwed up and unloving, maybe even abusive. At least if you have good friends, you have someone you can count on.

Answer 8

Well my friends and family come out to about the same... but since my friendsa re my age... they have a better understanding of what I'm going through.

Answer 9

Yes, I do. I went thru a really hard time last year and members of my family said really nasty things about me. I never asked them for anything. However, I had some good friends who helped me out and never said anything negative. Thanks to God and my friends, I made it thru....

Answer 10

yea...all the time. Who doesn't? My friends are my family. My parents take care of me and they say they love me and all......but a lot of the time they don't show it very well at all.

Answer 11

yes by my friends a
