I have had a child since and am planning my wedding and cannot understand why neither of them want to be a part of that. I have reflected on the matter time and time again and gotten nowhere but tears. Hoping that an outside source can shed some light on the subject for me.

I was a shy kid and really lonely for some reason. I'd pray almost every night that people would like me. If someone talked to me, I was so happy. I believed that friends are friends forever. I quickly learned the contrary. As a teenager, we moved to a new town and I was thrust into a very large school system in the midst of junior high and smack dab in the middle of THE "mean girl" era. I learned another lesson quickly...that I had to fake to be one so I wasn't the one on the receiving end. It sure didn't pay off. The girls that I thought were my friends only ended stabbing me in the back one by one over the years. The one that I had left I eventually stopped trying so hard to keep because it's a one way relationship, me calling her. Well unless she wants something, then she'll call. I've grown up and don't act like the hard butt (that I never really was) anymore. Honestly, I'm actually a really good person with a big heart. I'd do anything for anyone as long as I'm not being used. So I really need this book to learn for the first time in my life how to actually really make friends. Real friends that will love and appreciate me as I will them. The one thing I’ve always wanted is a true friend. I was a shy kid and really lonely for some reason.

At 39, I am still struggling to have and keep good girlfriends. I have made many efforts to meet and make new friends but seem to keep attracting people who are not interested in reciprocating the basics of friendship and instead, are only interested in what I can provide for them. Because I keep getting so disappointed, I am very open to positive suggestions about how to go about this in a different way. This book sounds like a great start!

I will be 34 next month and , unlike many, have been blessed to have some very strong friendships that have survived 20+ years with 4 out of 5 very wonderful women. Which brings me to the fifth girlfriend. We have been best friends since the age of 4 (kindergarten). Our parents allowed her to move in with us our senior year in HS so that we could even graduate together. Up until about 3 years ago- we both were experiencing extreme hardship - for me it was grieving the loss of my mother and for her a very serious personal problem. We'd survived teen hood/college/parenting all with distance. However, the distance and what we were going through have broken our relationship. I've reached out with no response and it hurts because i realize now that we both are the blame and that when you've been for that long- you're actually family. So when times slow down and i reflect on all our memories- it's hard to accept that this friendship may actually never bounceback. Although the love will never be lost for that best friend.
