My entire life has been spent around "friends" that are seemingly "real" to the human eye, yet their actions contradict such vision. I have had friends that I have spent time with for a few years and during that time we had shared awesome experiences together in life. Yet in the end, the bottom always falls through.

I have had "best friends" that I would spend every day with that would betray me at the end of our friendships, whether it be lack of interest, or just deciding they don't like me anymore, it is all the same. Some people tell me my overall positive and "have a fun time" attitude is a good thing, yet when I am nice to people, bad things just end up happening to me.

I was supposed to room in a rental house with my 2 best friends in college next semester, but today that proved that it will not happen. My one friend said "my girlfriend is going to go to this college now, so I'm going to live with her instead" AKA "I'm bailing on you because I'm whipped." My other friend in turn said, "uhh I don't think I will have the money to be able to live together, sorry." When he has said even up until the day before today that everything would be cool and that he had his money all worked out.

I now have a choice of living alone, or continuing to commute. To make matters worse, my younger brother is moving out next semester to attend his college as a freshman, so I would be stuck here with my parents and each time I would look across the hallway, I would see my brother's empty room and I would think of all the memories we shared.

I always get screwed. I have yet to meet someone who is truly mature enough to give a crap about me enough to not ditch me for someone, or care how I feel about things at all.

TLDR; Nice guys finish last. Again.

People change plans. Get used to it. Stop taking it personally.

P.S - I'd live with my girlfriend over my guy friends any day.
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

If all of them are this way to you, maybe you're the problem? It's not likely that every single person you friended was an asshole.

Agreed. It sucks really badly, but try to move on. Also, consider that he 2nd friend probably didn't have the money issue worked out for 2 people, and only had it worked out for the original plan ><

For now, I'd say you should commute to save money until you can find other roommates, but it's obviously up to you, since you have all the information and the ultimate decision-making power. Good luck.

Don't rely on others. The Book of Odes says, "He who depends on himself will attain the greatest happiness".

Sounds like masturbation to me.

I can see why they would ditch you lol...

Also no, just because someone chooses his girlfriend over a self-absorbed, self-centered "friend" does not mean he is whipped. And no, it has nothing to do with "nice guys finish last". LOL.
