Why does nobody else seem to want real friendships?

I know I probably sound weird but one of my close friends hangs out with people he knows aren't good friends, he knows their not and yet he treats them the same as he would treat this other guy he has known for years. I just don't understand, everyone around me is so fake and bitchy, and yet they all seem content with it, or, even, happy.

Anyway, most of the people I used to call friends (we had a small, tight group), are now distant strangers that I don't really want to know and they only use and abuse like the rest of them, it hurts, seeing somebody you used to be such good friends with just turn into somebody you don't want to know because they fit into the mold with the rest and it's riving me crazy. I'm 17 and doing A-Levels in school, I know it's school, but I only have two good friends and one of them is the first guy I talk about.

    Unfortunately people tend to do stuff they usually wouldnt do just to fit in to what they think ia cool. Its hard to answer why people act the way they do but if someone acts different according who their with thats a sign of insecurity n feeling of desire to belong to something. People tend to want to follow or be part of somw kind of click n thats jus ilogical to me but the human mind works in mistyrious ways. My advice would be stick who you are comfortable around and dont change to please someone else. Ide rather to be called different weird etc than to be a freakn robot like everyone else that does the same thing. Be a leader not a Follower ;)

    Unfortunately nowadays, there are only what they call it friend of benefits, ppl can sell a great friend & buy the bad one just because they know they can benefit more from them. It's very sad and hard to accept it but frienships now has no meaning and this bring sadness to my heart esp that I had so many bad experience with friends that I never expect anything bad coming from them since I've been always that great & caring friend to them. But this is life we shuld concentrate more in our family & school :)..
