Sure. I had a friend who once borrowed my favorite book and returned it all damaged. Pages were torn and there were stains on it. He didn't even apologize sincerely. It really made me feel that he didn't respect my things and it was a big let - down. After that, I became more cautious about lending things to him.
Sure. I had a friend who always borrowed money from me but never paid it back. He would make up all kinds of excuses, like he lost his wallet or his paycheck was late. Once, I really needed the money I had lent him, but he just ignored my calls and messages. It made me realize he was not a true friend at all.
I have a bad friend story to tell. There was this friend who was constantly late when we made plans. He didn't seem to respect my time at all. One time, we had tickets to a concert and he showed up an hour late. By then, we had missed half of the show. He didn't even apologize sincerely. His lack of respect for time made it really hard to stay friends with him.
Sure. There was this friend who, when I had a big presentation at work and was really nervous, she told me all these negative things like how I was going to mess it up. Instead of being supportive, she made my anxiety so much worse.
Sure. One of my bad friend stories is about a so - called friend who borrowed a lot of money from me and then just disappeared. I tried to contact him but he changed his number and moved without telling me. It was really a betrayal.
Sure. A guy was friends with a girl for a long time. He was head over heels in love with her but never showed it too much because he didn't want to risk the friendship. One day, she told him she was getting married to someone she had just met a few months ago. He was heartbroken, and she didn't even understand why he was so affected, thinking he was just being a good friend.
A story that comes to mind is about two friends. One friend was always taking credit for the other's work. He would present their group projects as his own in school. Years later, when he was in a real job, his co - workers found out he was trying to steal credit again. This time, he got fired. It shows that bad karma from being dishonest about credit in the past caught up with him. His actions from before led to his downfall in his career.
Sure. One time my so - called best friend spread rumors about me at school. She told people that I cheated on a test, which was completely untrue. It made a lot of people look at me differently and I lost some friends because of it.
Sure. One of my bad best friend stories is that my so - called best friend once spread a really private secret of mine just to look cool in front of others. I had trusted her completely with that secret, and she just threw that trust away.
Betrayal is another theme. For instance, if one friend shares a very personal and creative idea with the other, and the other friend uses it as their own without giving credit. This would be a form of betrayal that could be at the heart of the 'the bad art friend story'. Also, the theme of self - interest might play a part. If one friend is only concerned with their own artistic career and is willing to step on the other to get ahead.
My friend Jack had a financial problem. He needed to pay some urgent bills but didn't have enough money. I lent him some money without hesitation. He was so grateful. Later, when he was back on his feet, he paid me back. This experience really embodies the essence of 'a friend in need a friend indeed'. It's about being there for your friend when they face difficulties, not just in good times.
