Should I ditch my friends and try to find new ones?

I'm getting fed up with most of my friends. They are so unreliable, catty, or seem to complain all the time. I consider myself a nice person, and I try to find the best in everyone, but it is just HARD sometimes. Should I just give up on my "friends" and try to find new ones.... or is everyone like this??!!!??

Should I ditch my friends and try to find new ones?
Keep in contact with your old friends until you have a solid group of new friends.


I have to say that's you're gonna have a hard tome finding "nice" teens. If you're out of that phase then you should be fine!
Reply:It sounds like maybe you are in high school? If so, this is pretty typical. I wouldn't "ditch" your friends, but you may want to look for other options with folks that have values more in sinc with yours and then gradually switch over who you spend time with.
Reply:You should try talking to your old friends and if they are still same way maybe you should make some new ones.
Reply:Here's something to think about, OK? There's always going to be things about people that we don't like. Our friends are always going to get on our nerves. But it doesn't mean you ditch them for that reason. Nobody is perfect. Always keep yourself open for new friendships, regardless. By keeping yourself open to new friendships, you will undoubtedly find others to hang out with. You don't need to just stick with hanging out with certain people. Broaden your horizons. There are good qualities in everyone.You don't necessarily have to stop being friends with people, but you can gradually become "acquaintances" with them and stay on friendly terms. Don't burn your bridges unnecessarily. Just something for you to think about.
Reply:I don't think that you should ditch them, but should definately keep your eyes open for other friendships too. Maybe you could show your friends that they can be nice too. Not everyone is mean and catty, however we do all have our times when the world sucks and we just like to complain. I think a part of being a friend is patience and getting through those times when everything is wrong. However, if you are the only one contributing to the friendship, then it seems like it is time to point out to your friends how unreliable they can be. Keep your positive attitude and I am sure that things will work out for you.
Reply:oh, hell naw im not like that. You need to find new friends, **** them, and leave. there sad ppl.

Reply:Friends are like diapers...they should be changed regurlary
Reply:most of everyone is like this...if you get new friends it will end up the same only with different faces
Reply:As we grow and change so do our relationships. Sometimes we grow and change in ways that our current set of friends do not. You can always develop new friendships while keeping the old. You may find in time that your current friends will grow to fit you again. Then you have a broader base of friends for having cultivated new friends. You can never have too many friends. It does take some effort to maintain friendships but I have always found it to be worth the effort.
Reply:Sweetie, it sounds like you are a much more real, and better person than them. Be yourself.....if they start their bs, ignore it, walk away, whatever. I would much rather get to know you than people like them.
Reply:DITCH THOSE BITCHESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Reply:not everyone is like this but if your just not getting along with them anymore then i would suggest that you find new ones.
Reply:first question arises is that r they loyal to u???? if yes then u should adjust with them becz no person is perfect....... there r some qualities and disqualities in them......





and if they won't then try to find new one who r loyal and straight forward........
Reply:I say keep in contact and find new ones but keep slight contact with your old ones
Reply:you shouldn't just ditch them. just try to broaden the amount of people you spend time with, get to know different people more and just let it happen - some you'll find out you like to spend more time with. plus that way you can weed out the 'same' ones.
Reply:if u are not like any of them u should find new friends cause you have nothing in common
Reply:some people are not like that..


you should do whatever you think is best for you..


if you think that you are a good person and they might try to change that or they might start to rub off on you-then you may want to find new friends..


I have had to do this myself--it's not easy but it is worth it to find sum1 that you can rely on..
Reply:I had to do that with a lot of mine. As I got older, I changed and some of my friends didn't. You are at the point where you are realizing you are changing and they aren't.





I wouldn't just out of the blue cut them off, but over time as you meet new people that you have more things in common with, you will find yourself drifting off to spend time with them. You may still keep a few of your old friends that you know are more valuable. Nonetheless...it does sound like you need to communicate with your current friends more if they are being unreliable, etc.
Reply:let them know that it bothers you if they don't stop find knew friends
Reply:Don't drop them completely. Find some friends who are like you and hang out with them. Then you can decide if it's best to drop them or not.
Reply:Seek out some new friends by joining some groups that interest you. I've met a ton of people in church groups...ladies groups, singles groups, etc. You could also join a book club or walking club, something like that. It's nice to have friends with similar values and interests.
