"My friend is bulimic, etc." Hmph, my friends never give a crap what the heck is up with me. They would let me faint and die in the street or while driving my car. They actually help me to cover everything up. They even give me fattening stuff to eat and ignore me if I call them for help.
Not exactly your typical "popcorn and a movie" scenario, is it?

its not that nobody cares about your problems, its just that your friends aren't really your friends and they aren't good friends at all. other people really care about you and your problems, you just got to find the right friends, because the friends you have right now, well they don't treat you like their your own friends, they take advantage of you, and well they don't help you in anyway when you need them. my option is that you find other GOOD friends. also that you should know that other people do care, just find the right friends, you`re not here alone, other people really care, just find the right one.

Sadly we live in a world where too many people get caught up in their own stuff and are too busy focusing on their problems to see others.
But that said, I too wonder if these are "real friends." Sounds like they are more aquaintences, because the beauty of a true friend is they are a shelter from the BS out there.
And last thought, might be the mood you were in when you wrote this (we all get fed up), but you sound as if you are demanding attention and expect others to take responsibility for your problems. So maybe a good thing to do is look at the bigger picture here, ask yourself if you change your attitude, and do what's best for you would it change how these "friends" act. If not then might be a good time to start making some more friends who are more supportive, while also doing ALL you can to be responsible for your life and making it be one you want to live in and that's good for you.
And think about it...could any friend do that for you?? At best all they could, and should do, is support you. You're in the drivers seat good or bad.
You were probably venting, but bet there's some truth in this if you think about it. Hope you do and hope it helps. Sometimes someone who is a total stranger can see stuff more clearly and hope I did. Of course sometimes you can get it totally wrong lolol...either way hope some of it helped and hope you have a MUCH better day tomorrow!!!!

They don't sound much like friends. I've got a few like that myself. When you tell them something is wrong, they've always got a story to top yours! I think it's just because they have a need to feel superior. Maybe their giving you "fattening" stuff, because that's the only thing they know of, that they think their helping. (I know they're not, that only makes you feel worse.) I suggest you seek out a Doctors help. It's not normal to not want to eat, and to be bulimic. It will eat all the enamel on your teeth, and your body will lose muscle mass before fat! Please get some help. I'll be glad to talk more if you E-mail me. How much DO you weigh? Your height?

I think you should look into seeing a psychologist or counselor. Perhaps the problem does not lie with your friends. Perhaps you have some underlying problems to work out for yourself. Look on webmd.com for info about Borderline Personality Disorder and maybe it'll help give you some perspective. I'm not saying you're in the wrong. I'm just saying that sometimes we need to step back and really try to see the source of our problems and negative feelings.
Good luck to you!

Hmm.
Seems like you have the wrong friends. I noticed you didn't mention family so maybe you should let them in, too.
And push your friends out.
Most people like you don't want to tell their family because of embarassment or neglection, or they fear criticsm.
But thats not always true.
I don't mean to scare you, but do it before its too late and one of your organs fail and you know what that means...it also makes you have brown teeth and some people choke from the throwup and...you know.
I DONT want to scare you.
But their is alot of ways to die from Bulimia.

Exactly, get some new friends. If you really have some problems too, talk to a school counselor or minister (or your parents).

Sounds like you need a good night's sleep! Some consider it a blessing that no one talks about them. You obviously don't have bulimia and haven't fainted in the street...consider yourself lucky!

Maybe they're the wrong type of friend. You need a new one. Think about it.

I feel the same way. I learned not to count on others because they can't be trusted.
