Can you share some bad friend stories?

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.

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.

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.

Sure. One of my friend stories is about two friends who went on a road trip together. They had planned this trip for months. Along the way, they got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. But instead of panicking, they made it into an adventure. They tried to fix the tire themselves and when they couldn't, they hitchhiked to the nearest town and had a great time chatting with the locals while waiting for the tire to be repaired.

Sure. There was a story where a person was living in pover. His friend, who had a bit more resources, offered him a place to stay when he was about to be evicted from his shabby apartment. This simple act of kindness changed his friend's life as it gave him stability to look for a better job.

Here's another. I had a plan to travel alone. But my friend Jack thought it was too dangerous. He tried hard to persuade me not to go. When I was stubborn and still decided to go, he didn't just leave me. Instead, he joined me and made sure I was safe during the whole journey. A true friend will always be there for you, even when you are being difficult.
