10 ways to find out whether your friendship is going down the drain


"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
- Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

10 ways to find out whether your friendship is going down the drain:-

1. The person says that he or she got to go when you have something important to tell her over the phone.

- Best friends should always be there for each other. "Sorry but i got to go," doesn't sound like she/he is eager enough to know what you have to say or even want to know what your next sentence will sound like. So, forget about calling her/him again later in the evening... same thing will happen.

2. The person promises to call you back but failed to do so.

- One way or another, both of you call each other to talk over some issues the both of are facing. However, the all most popular phrase would be 'Hey, i got to go, call you back okay?'. Oh well, you just sat by the phone, just waiting for him/her to call back, guess what, she/he did not do so.

3. Forgetting your birthday

- Besides having your parents and siblings remember your birthday and having a surprise waiting for you to experience, on the other hand, your best friend forgets and later on he/she calls you to say 'happy belated birthday... i'm truely sorry', which of cause will be a month later.

4. Did not invite you to his/her birthday party.

- When you find out, his/her responds will be "Oh, i thought i told so-and-so to tell you, didn't he/she told you?" Pretty obvious that the person did not tell you, right?

5. Forgetting your phone number

- Now where did he/she put his/her phone book?

6. Doesn't sound interested when you tell them that you finally found what you were looking for.

- Well, first of all, best friends always have the intention to say 'hey, remember, when you find what you are looking for, let me be the first to know okay... promise?!'. So there you go, you give him/her a call and guess what... 'Oh really, oh wow, congrats...' and the conversation stops right... there!

7. Stays speechless when you are feeling the urge to pour out your problems

- Best friends always cheer up one another. And if they fail, at least you know someone still cares for you. However, besides of doing what a best friend should do, his/her responds was 'hrm....'; 'oh.....'; 'sorry....', or just dead silence. Well silence is golden, not when you need him/her most. Can't they just at least hear you out and give you a shoulder to cry on after that.

8. Coming to know that they backstabbed you one time which is enough to call the whole 'bestfriend' thing off!

- Yeah, sometimes you may not stand each other's attitude, but, he/she decided to tell the whole world how perfect she is and you are not.

9. Now he/she has a girlfriend/boyfriend, you don't seem to matter anymore.

- This happens, it always does without fail. So if your best friend has a girlfriend/boyfriend, it's time to send you packing and heading to the world of loneliness.

10. Conversations only last for a minute

- Hi and Bye, then later on 'I'll call you!'... I'm so not going to fall for that!

[I'd say you could extend it to parties which you used to be called to normally or ones where everyone is invited except you... :( ]
