infact i was talking to my colleague n close friend abt this...we nag abt this like everyday :D she's also our age group, and she said the same thing k she also feels like this :D so there r many like this in this boat...
we were saying its because our lives r direction less...not to mention we r getting old :(
y hermit? hmmm..bas yaar its just a dumb phase i guess..and internet isnt helping either...sometimes id rather be on gupshup than talk to real ppl who r around me...told u i'm becoming weirddddddd
Yeah I agree people can be very selfish and you may find over time some friends were not the nice people you initially thought them to be... I'd say try and talk it out.. if its something small..otherwise accept that this is just the way they are. Then decide if they are still worth being friends with.
I hate it cause I wonder if I am being arrogant and realise I have been having to forgive alot of people for things I do not think are 'no big deal' alot of time the small stuff do matter alot.

i never have been the kind to dislike people or someone, i mean i can usually find an excuse for myself to deter myself from disliking an indvidual..
but for past few months i find myself changing. I dont want to like people. I cant find myself forgiving them for things. im becoming unfriendly
anyone else find themselves changing?

Forget about changing..how about already changed???
It's all about experience..i've noticed my tolerance for forgiving people has gone down.. But i've been burned many a time before.
Also I don't waste time being a door mat or a shoulder to cry on for people unless they are good friends.. i don't have the time nor the energy to have draining friends anymore...and the friends i do have go up and down in their lives but it isn't all the time and for extended time. Plus i know that personality that sits there and cries and whines but doesn't do anything about it..and i dont have the energy to give advice that isn't taken. Then there are the people who are selfish ...over little things i.e. never bringing food to share at a potluck, asking for rides and never offering to pay toll even though you are only doing the toll bridge because of them..this little stuff adds up and shows you how considerate they are...I've had friends who started out like the above..and gets worse...so now when i come up against it..once/twice..then i just don't bother with friends like that.
Yeah it would be nicer to be nice..but hey...life is too short to be a witch OR a door mat.
i used to be a cold very reserved person for abt 2 years, i changed company and i also changed completely, :~)
having sincere friends has a lot to do with it, trust me, it helps you find out what kind of person you are without blinding yourself to your surroundings :k:
