one of my friends has borrowed money(not much really) and then acted like he never did

this is the worst. I hate when otherwise good people end up doing insane shit like this. unfriend immediately and add to the "worst people" list. 

Yeah, I love "friends" that only come out of the woodwork when they need something. 

I'm guilty of being a moron and always helping by lending money. 

hey stevie g can i have a hundred bucks

getting money outta me is hard and there always has to be collateral or something cuz ive been fucked over while young.

At this point I only have one friend who is single and doesnt have kids. The others who were in my "crew" or whatever all have kids - I still reach out but I dont invite them out - seems like i see those guys maybe once a year. The one who is single is in a band and has only invited me out to shows of theirs recently. I went to one in Feb and we have hung out a few times since then, but ive declined the last two shows cuz theyre headlining and Im an old fart now (35) I just want to get blazed and hang out and got to bed at 1130/12.

that's a good point. I was going to say to drop the shitty friends but depending on how they're shitty it may not be worth it. If they're shitty in the way you could never expect them to help move furniture for 10 minutes, but they're fun to be around then...? *shrugs*

I'm always surprised when people say they have no good friends. I still am friends with many people from high school and university and see them still on occasion. I can't relate to the topic at all. I mean it sucks but, I don't understand how someone ends up with 100% shitty friends because it means you're actively making friends, and they're all shitty.

Nah you're not. But maybe just lend to the ones who have done something for you when their own self gain wasn't apart of it.

^ good advice for sure.
