Blessing or a Curse?

Could be if you start to become co-dependent.
Find better friends, lose the ones who arent actually friends with you. They people you help, but they arent friends.
Of course we help our friends too in times of need, but thats not the whole point of friendship. Friendship should be fun not a drag.

Most of my friendships just vanished. I learned that if they really don't care as much as I do about them that they will show it. In one case my best friend for years (who was an atheist mind you) I had called all the time. But he didn't really call that much. So eventually I waited to see how often he would call to do anything together. Over a few years he called less and less. After he moved an hour away I tried calling him once or twice but we never really got together. Its not been a few years since we've talked. So I guess the friendships over. It doesn't mean just wait for people to stop being your friend of course. But if you feel they don't care enough then they will naturally just fall away from you and the problem is solved.

But if you want to say something to them just tell them your feeling a bit like they don't value the friendship as much anymore and you think maybe you need to stop being friends for awhile (or for good). Maybe they will take the time to contact you and try to and fix things.

A lot of truth here...
Proverbs 12:26
"The righteous should choose his friends carefully,
For the way of the wicked leads them astray."
