Why the furry community sucks as a whole.

Because so many people build up relationships / friendships based on things that are good for them at the time. Friendships with artists who will draw for you, and then when they stop you stop talking to them. People who will give and give emotionally because you're lonely and hurting and the second you're happy again, forget them. It's not made of people who build real, true, lasting relationships. There are some genuine ones that I've made but unfortunately these are with people I knew first though roleplaying, and secondly found again in the Fandom. They've become my second family now, but what if we'd just passby one another in the fandom?
I just don't get it. I think I'm a nice enough person, I try to reach out and keep in contact and it's always me who steps out on the ledge. And why? For a person who's just going to drop kick me again when I'm not fashionable or in enough for them? I don't get it. People suck. I'm tired of getting hurt when it's completely unnecessary but for some stupid, retarded reason I try anyways.
And to think of all the 'what ifs' and 'once upon a times' that went along with half these people.

As a side note - you've been offline on AIM since that first day I spoke to you. I thought you had blocked me or something. If that's not the case, let me know and I'll give you another AIM address or something. :)
I'll happily associate myself, but to this day I can count on the fingers of one hand the actual friends I feel I have that I can call on, that will actually respond, and be there if I needed it. The rest just choose to ignore my existence until it benefits them. And that's sad.
Obviously you're one of the cool kids lol.
Thankfully I know different now. I take more chances now simply because I never know just who will be a friend and who won't. It sucks when the friendship fails, especially long established ones, but like us, for example, sometimes you lose friends, but gain them in the process, too.
Think it helps I'm not the total jerk I used to be, either.
