tsondaboy 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 ...that the last time you saw him was at his birthday party a year ago. ...that has never bothered to call you again all year. ...that didn’t bother to call you at your birthday, although it’s only 3 weeks after his. ...that sends you a chain mail again at his birthday one year later, asking you to come at his birthday party.

muikabochi 208 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Sounds like a rather self-centered person. Does he do good parties? Link to post Share on other sites

keba 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 How far do you two go back? I know with some of my old friends from school, we only ever see each other at our kids' birthday parties anymore. If there's food and booze on offer, and there's a bunch of other people who you'd like to catch up with going along, what do you lose by going? Don't go overboard on the gift, though.

tsondaboy 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Not that far 2~3 years. I used to get frequent calls when he first arrived in Japan, but none after he got settled. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 just dont go, but hey if it is a good party with lots of friends then just dont say happy birthday. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 I told him I had already made plans for the weekend. That settles it, but the nerve of some people pisses me off sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 sounds like a user who you made aquaintances with and you are no longer that useful. Don't waste your time with these people. Friends are closer than a chain mail. Link to post Share on other sites

Kingofmyrrh 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have to say that I noticed this quite a bit since coming to Japan... maybe it was just because before I came to Japan I was a student, so I would loads of free time to see my friends most days, but sometimes when I go to birthday parties there are people who are like - "when was the last time I saw you? This time last year?/That wedding 2 years ago?" and stuff like that. To be perfectly honest I don't think I would bother if we weren't good enough friends to meet up even a little more regularly. Maybe that's just what happens as the years go by, hope not... Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hey.....I told you I dont give a shit! But thanks anyway. It turned out a good day for me. No kids or wife for the day, so I spent the morning surfing and then jumped in my mates boat for an afternoon of spearfishing. We now have 2 fresh lobsters cooking in the pot and some fresh fish for dinner. Maybe birthdays aren't that bad after all. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I am a firm believer that "people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime". Might sound cynical - but some friends are not meant to be with us from 3 to 103...some ARE, but most are not. I appreciate each and every friend I have had throughout my life - but I certainly do not keep in contact with them all...or even 'many'. I have two special female friends in my life who are here forever - one I met at 3, the other the first day of highschool...and we are a trio! Girls night out is a loud hysterical and alcohol filled event. Sad as it is sometimes the reason or the season has run it's course and it is time to let go of a friend. Sometimes that friend is toxic to your life - it is time to let go. But if you each bring joy and smiles to one another, whether you are in contact every day or just once in a blue moon hold fast and enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites
