Steal friends, what the hell? You don't steal friends, you make friends... and if I "stole" a friend of yours then they probably weren't a real friend of yours to begin with!

I only write this because, amusing as it is to me, I have actually been accused of "taking someone's friends away". Here is what I have to say about this:

LMAO

Okay, I'll say this too:

First of all, if someone feels the need to even TELL someone that they need to get friends of their own, can't talk to "your" friends, or have accused someone of "stealing" friends, that person is obviously incredibly insecure about themself and their own ability to be a friend. How childish do the following statements sound: "Find your own friends and leave mine the fuck alone!" "I can't be friends with that person unless they cut you out of their life completely."

Please get a grip and just move on.

Furthermore, a person would have to be apparently worried that if someone else makes friends with "their" friends, that "their" friends are going to like that other person more. There are usually reasons for this.

In order for someone to start hanging out with a different person, there is usually something much more appealing in their personality or character, the way they handle themselves in a friendship, their ability to give instead of just take, possibly even their ability to act like an adult instead of a child. Just a thought.

People go where they want to go, people are friends with whom they want to be friends with.. that's just the way it is and it is their choice. No one can "take" your friends away from you, that isn't the way real friends are. So if it was that easy to "make someone become my friend and not yours", like I said in the beginning, chances are that person was never really your friend to begin with.

You have to be a friend in order to have a friend.

Any thoughts? Agree or disagree? Can you really "steal" someones friends?

    i think it's possible but it happens a whole lot less than people want to think.

    and yeah, i'm inclined to agree that whoever is saying you're doing this is probably unstable.

    the only reason it grates on my nerves so much is because i know that i've never personally or purposely done anything to "take" her friends.. i am just me. she has also done some nasty things to people and our friends have seen that, so they have a tendency to end up spending time with me and not wanting to be around her at all.. but should i be blamed because she showed her true colors and what a mean person she is?
