Why are friends so hard to find these days?

Answer 1

These days loyalty has gone down the drain.
This may sound silly to you now but during the first and second world war friends used to die for each other.
Many people only think about how they can get something out of you(basically use you).
Keep hunting there are desent people out there looking for the same thing!
Good luck.

Answer 2

My Dear,
Friends have always been hard to find, it didn't just start now. In your life if you find one true friend consider yourself very blessed. If you truly want a good friend allow the person to be them self, don't get upset if they don't like the things you do . Give the person space don't get mad if they don't call you every day, it just means they have a life . Be honest with the person and for goodness sake never pretend to be someone or something that your not.You see when your in your 20ties you will go through what I call crazy friendship where everything is either fun or a fight. Then in your 30ties you'll go through mask friendship where people may pretend to be your friend for different reasons.If you are wise you will see through the mask and not be hurt. Then in your 40ties you will be wise to foolish friendships and you will tread you turf very carefully. Then hopefully by then you won't need a friend you'll have your spouse to be you best bud and wonderful children to attend & then you will have all you need or can handle and friendships will not be a big issue anymore.

Good Luck My Dear

Answer 3

Because everyone, inside their minds has different agendas, different upbringing, different decision making skills, which compound over time. These tend to constantly change, unless a certain individual has a "cemented" thinking and pure ambition.

Your decision to make perfect friends perhaps limits you to a range of characters, but on the other side some people with just a few good friends, family are happy about their loyalty. In this day and age, friends is often widely misused. that is all you need to know for now.

In reality, an old friend told me, true friends come in a dozen, while money attracts the whole world.

Answer 4

True friends are very hard to come by. Most people now want to be Number One even at the expense of others,and they want Drama in their life. And this is why it is hard to find a true friend. There are some out there but just be very careful who you pick as a TRUE FRIEND. GOOD LUCK

Answer 5

it's a me generation and everyone is usually out for themselves. it you can find a true friend, you better hold on to them and appreciate them as they appreciate you. if you obtain that bond between each other, you'll never lose that friendship. it can take on different shapes of friendship through the years, but it really never goes away. you'll always have the contact and that feeling of happiness when you hear from them, even though through the years it may not be an every day occurrence, but sporadically to have the need and the want to be in contact with each other. to me that is a true friend - you never walk away from each other - even though you don't see or talk to each other every day.

Answer 7

Friends have always been hard to find. You probably are just more mature than those around you and have developed higher standards.

Answer 8

People are selfish and everyone is a jerk. No seriously it's because of our fast paced lives and the way we isolate ourself. You meet someone in real life and you want to talk to them online and then there's nothing to talk about online but everything to talk about in real life. You meet someone online and there's nothing to talk in real life about so you may as well go through with it and you do and then you feel cheap and easy and they never write back or want to have anything to do with you. The online thing was supposed to supplement relationships, not replace and redefine them. Everyone has their own web page where they get to espouse their own thoughts (myself included) but noone is really listening to what anyone else has to say. Society preaches selfishness, neediness, emptiness, grabbing towards something superficial to make you feel better about yourself and who you are, or are supposed to be, never anything real and dirty that you have to work hard for, never anything you stand a chance of being told that you are full of * over. Noone is comfortable in their own skin everyone is a clone or some ideal that was manufactured in some meeting in an ivory tower somewhere, thinking that this is the way to be. I've fallen victim to it, thinking that I needed something outside of myself to feel complete; such a sad, pathetic state of being.

Answer 9

Young lady I ask myself that all the time and I truly don't have a correct answer for you.

It seems like kids these days are more interested in possessions rather than friendship... which is sad.

Answer 10

True friends are. In all of my almost 40yrs I have noticed that people seem to be naturally scandalous. It's too bad! I tell you what though, if your lucky enough to find a good friend...Hold on to them.
