My guess your "friend" is same as my "friend". Though, I am don't have such position nor power to help a friend. This one I helped him to fix his computer many times ages ago. No money req FOC completely, my only condition is to do it on my convenience. Never even say "Thank you". There are there to extract value.

When my long term relationshit ended and I still wanted to hang out as per normal. This guy told me to F off. And no, my ex and him are not in the same circle of friends.

5) Never tell your personal problems to them. Somehow, I find that certain majority race in SG has an attitude/psychological disorder and would love to see their own kind fall hard in the face. It is a self-loathing race, including their country of ancestry.

This is my perception, pretty sure I am right and I make no apologises for that.

Hard lessons I learnt:

1) Pick your friends wisely when young, becoz once we hit middle age it's different. People tend to have commitments and find making new friends a chore. Besides, all relations take time and effort to grow

5) Never tell your personal problems to them. Somehow, I find that certain majority race in SG has an attitude/psychological disorder and would love to see their own kind fall hard in the face. It is a self-loathing race, including their country of ancestry.

6) The duration of the friendship does not matter, people can just walk out due to convenience. Doesn't matter if you helped them many times in the past. In fact, I never ever brought them up nor use them as an emotional blackmail.

8) Never, ever be afraid to say "NO". Even if your friend is a gorgeous chick/stud/whatever [ insert appropriate term ].

10) I was young, naïve and stupid, but never again. :D

I have people that i treat as friends, that abandoned me, even worse still add insult to me by saying negative things just to make me looks inferior in comparison to them.

Learn a hard lesson, never trust people 100 percent.

As long as it's private company. Best don't declare and don't tell your colleagues even when you are drunk or you fucked one of them (women tend to have big mouths).
