Do you think that nowadays is harder to have good friends than before?

Question

Why yes or why not?

Answer 1

I think peoples values have changed...part of the reason it seems so difficult to find truly decent and good friends! I think it also makes it difficult for the younger generation (maybe) due to lack of good role models....

It seems to me that most of my good friends came from broken homes and have seen/witnessed how it feels to be done wrong by someone....others don't seem to have a clue or a care - more fish in the sea I guess (in reference to friends)....who knows?! I feel like there is a lot of negativity out there also - I'm famous for bypassing negative people! I am even more picky with my son! If I don't want to be around people like that myself - why would I let my son (who is 3) be around those types of people either?

There's more to life than stupid drama that most people seem to be so preoccupied with now-a-days....yuck...leave me out of it! LOL! I am perfectly content to keep my life as drama free as possible! Most of it just isn't necessary and wears a person down and just brings out more negativity - I don't need it! I prefer things to be simpler and happier! I can deal with stress in relation to jobs, school work, financial matters...things of that nature - and that's enough! I also think that people have a difficult time finding things to occupy their time...so they create drama.....give me a good book instead! LOL!

****EDIT*** Pretty - I don't think your standards are too high! There is nothing wrong with being choosy and wanting to be sure a friend will conduct themselves as such - that is not too much to ask or expect from someone who declares friendship! Sadly most people don't honestly know how to be true to themselves let alone other people....

Answer 2

No. Now a days you can make good friends than before. Now we have so much of freedom than before. Communication has improved a lot. Before, sometimes our friends cannot cope with our ideas, vice versa. But now lots of people who are in our surrounding are thinking better than ourselves. When we share things we can make good friends than ever before.

Answer 3

yes it is nowadays you really have to give them time and let things develop so you can see a persons true character

Answer 4

You can make friends,but people become less and less trustworthy from day to day.

It's very hard having a friend that you have knew in kindergarten,or when you were 3-6 years old.

Answer 5

YES yes YEs

The old days were so much better, so much more relaxed. now stabbing people in the back has become some type of 'trend'. people get amused when watching their friends suffer. this is why i have friends, but dont allow myself to get too close. i honestly dont think i will ever have one true faithful friend.. or maybe my standards are too high?

Answer 6

In fact,the true definition of friend has very high meaning. That is,if you are in trouble then the duty of your friend can be to remain with you always. Also, he/she should share in your sorry & happy,life & death,profit & loss etc. As the world is moving very fast towards new technology and the people have no time to learn such things due to the fact that they do not believe on such said things.Thanks to the questioner for important question about friendship.

Answer 7

yes because there are now so many new bad names and horrible things that you can do to people. it is really bad and it just sux. my friends, they have all separated and we have seperated and it is just because of the times now adays. i miss all of my friends but i cant do anything because they hang out with different groups because there are new groups like emo, and gothis, and preps and there used to not be that bad of stuff and bad names to call people. life stinks now and the world is going to end because it is hard to live in a world with people who cant stand eachother...
