all my friends suck, their all pains in the ass. but people on tv id like to have as friends. why is that?
 
If people on TV sucked as much as many real people do, nobody would ever watch TV. They have to make them vaguely interesting. My friends also kinda suck. I'm not a very nice person, so I've considered forgetting about them and hunting down some people I like more.
 
yeah, ive thought about doing the same thing, but i hate meeting new people. yet i want friends, damn im screwd up.
 
Everyone can suck once in awhile which includes yourself. If my friends suck for a long period of time or even permanently, I just sack them.

Usually my friends suck when they just found new chicks. They usually don't care about you anymore or they do strange things. Usually they are cool again once the honeymoon period is over. They eventually learn not to abandon friends when they get women. friendships last but not relationships.
 
I am totally crap at all that socialising stuff. I don't talk much, I'm rarely interested at all in what other people discuss. I just don't give a damn about what other people care about.
 
its because there are some people that are sick of the stupid people put on this earth.. ther ditsy girls who do nothing but hang on guys.. and the thick headed men, who are a pain to hang out with.. and not everyone likes to spend EVERY weeknight getting wasted. so.. that little minority of us sit in our house, becuase we give up trying to understand our friends, and trying to fit it with the morons in society.. unfortunately since we're all sitting in our house.. we never meet.. thats the problem.
 
sitting at home alone is a sympton, nightfall, not the problem.

sitting at home alone is a valid protest... like not voting. Pity everyone ignores it.
 
People bore the shit out of me. I don't blame any of ya'll.

And Squid, Nightfall isn't (sorry if I'm wrong, Nightfall) saying that sitting alone is the problem or the symptom. She's saying that it's the reason we never meet nifty people.

But hey, that's why we have i-net.

I think many people in real life suck, because they are hurt and have become very cautious which results often in projecting a careless behaviour towards others.

It is just how you present yourself to (new) people you meet. A lot of times, when you are friendly and show interest, they will come around and you can get at the least some interest back.

It is true though that a whole lot of people are so disappointed in others that they only care for their own wellbeing. Put themselves as number one and let you down the moment you get irritating or are asking too much from them. It is a sign of the times.

People on TV are always displayed as being very good, caring, strong and loving people or as the bad ones and then they are really bad. You can see it already at their faces when they show up in a show or so.

I couldn't care less about TV people. I still am far more interested in real people. No matter how much they suck most of the times. Everybody has feelings.

Friends you have for a reason, otherwise it wouldn't be friends. Real friends you have for life...
 
or until they die:(

just got to know that my best friend drowned while swimming in germany. smthing with heart

damn
so stupid, so terribly stupid this is
 
Oh, that really sucks Avatar. :(

You must feel aweful and very sad now. I wish I could do something for you. It is so hard when this happens.

I 've lost some friends too and felt so sad and cold when it happened. I hated the world in which this could happen. Dear, close friends, taken away in an instant, without reason and much too young.

I am so sorry for you and your friend, don't know how to express it in words, 'cause words will never do...
 
People on TV? You only see their good sides. You don't see them yell and swear at others when they've had a hard day, you don't see their selfish, greedy sides when they sue over money, you don't often get vivid images of them acting stupid when they divorce after a few friggin days of marriage. Their good sides are glorified and inflated, and anyuthing else is reduced to a few lines or some random news articles on CNN.

I like my friends a lot more than people on TV. And currently I know the girls who are my friends are a lot better to be around than, say, Avril Lavigne or Britney Spears.
 
people that put theirself as number 1 are intelligent....im not saying i do, far from it, the way i see it is, deep down, i think everybody has their best interests at heart after all, we are only human.
 
adam you sound just like me. talking to someone for a while is ok, but i dont see how a friend of mine could stay up ALL night just talking to a girl he just met. i mean how much is there to frigin say! like the song says,words are very unecessary- depesh mode
 
Of course you like the people on TV; that's what they're made for! :D Basically, it's censhorship: It's got to be appealing to the majority, by cutting out all the real human issues and glazing it over with some split-second humour and "only-happens-on-TV" accidents. You've got to remember those "people" have scripts, and pay checks.

I love my friends, because if I didn't like them, and they didn't like me, why would they be my friends in the first place? :) I realize they are just human (like Captain Crunch says), and I accept it. I'm human, too, I have my faults, but it's not something that will keep me away from all human contact as some sort of "preservation of self" thing. I don't hate anyone, either, because it's hard to when you realize their "human-ness" and sympathize with them.

I'm terribly sorry, Avatar.
