    Question People you can depend on

    Family, friends, associates, etc. If you need cash, a place to stay, a car, and other things, do you believe they'll be there when you need them?

    I'm often there for a lot of people.

    Good for you, though. Some don't have that luxury. You'll look out for people but when it's your time, people aren't around or they simply don't want to help you.

    That's the problem. It seems that most of the regular members who people who they can rely on if they get into money trouble, a place to stay, back up, etc.

    I see where you're coming from. People will mess with you because you're in need of their help.

    one of the greatest lessons you are gonna learn in Life is always be independent about things, and always have a contingency plan, you can never ever trust anything with emotions and the limits of human feelings

    My family is absolutely unavailable and unwilling to help in any situation. I was thrown to the wolves as a teen by my egg and sperm donors and had to carve my own path ever since. A God of my understanding, and my wife are the only ones who ever considered helping me thru a rough patch.

    The kicker is - I wouldn't want it any other way.

    I'm the only one in my life that cares about me so I'm the most dependable person I have. I take it badly when I let myself down. You learn the hard way eventually that you are the only person you can depend on, you especially learn the hard way you can't depend on a woman.

    Be a man and look after yourself.

    I really don't believe in having friends after a particular phase in life. It's really a childish attachment that it's built for adult expectations. If you have a wife and kids (not saying everyone should) and career, when will you find time to make attachments to people for no reason other? If you're not the one that doesn't have time, enough people around you won't have time for it to be the general norm in your life at a certain age.

    Right now I'm trying to grow a business, so my friend will have to be the people in the process making it happen and they're only in the process for their own benefit which is fine. I tried having friends and a plan before and they feel more entitled to your time and resources than they should. I think the mistake is relying on 'friends'

    some ppl don't have families they can rely on and that sucks too. I think cutting off family that isn't beneficial perfect sense too. If you can't rely on them but they can rely on you fuck em.

    Yeah. Is this person a real friend or just a great associate? I've made this mistake so many times.

    People just have a lot too lose because they don't have a support system, especially men.

    People just can't turn their back.
