You choose your friends, and others choose you as theirs. In reality, many of those we call friends are not actually our friends but those that call us their friends. I always laugh when I hear people say 'I am good in making friends'. You are in for biggg stuff. 4 Likes |

OP,it seems like you were in my mind cos i had major reflections today. As a decent woman,it's even more difficult being jobless or unemployed. Those girls that you thought were your girl friends turn out to be fake and mean. Imagine someone you used to submit CV with, write Aptitude test and even fix 400 naira weavon together,start giving you major levels simply because she got a big job in a big company. The kind of attitude i received eh. I remember when i couldn't pay for an asoebi,and one of them said ''haba na,it's only 10k o'' just because i was unemployed. Thank God it's all in the past. It's a good period to know who your true friends are. Invest in your family and keep holding on to God. If i narrate the attitude i got from some of my ''former'' girl friends during that period,nairaland wouldn't be enough for that.... P.s Cast away those fair weather friends even before you get back on your feet. These days i trust strangers more. 4 Likes |

You're very myopic. As big as you are,you should know who your friends are.The truth is that those guys you call your friends aren't your friends;they are people willing to enjoy with you as long as it lasts.Also,friends value and respect you If you're wise,but they use and dump you like tissue paper when they realise you're a fool.In your case,you're a capital fool because your reasoning was very static when you had a job:you thought the job is your father's therefore it would last forever.If you had thought of the day you'll lose your job from the first day you got the job,you won't be complaining about your friends abandoning you.Use your tongue to count your teeth.It's your fault because you misplaced priority.In your next job,try to invest in your future before frolicking with fake friends!Thank me later. zaza999: 2 Likes |

hedonistic: Sorry to say... I always tell people I don't have aunts and uncles or even cousins. I stopped depending on my distant relatives when I demanded 2k from my aunt who is a lecturer for post ume form. She posted me as fit I was asking her for a date. She later told me the money is not available that the bag of rice and beans just got finished and she need to replace it. This is a person that her husband is a doctor. I nodded my head in tears. It was a childhood friend that helped me out and my mum later helped me with the admission fees. Till I graduated from sch I never called any distant relatives even during n after service. My family is my parents, brothers and sister only. There is nothing like your nuclear family and true friends. 5 Likes |

OP,just be strong,forget friends,ur only friend is Jesus.Its very painful that people are only interested in u if u have things.U will even BBM them,WHATSUP them,FACEBOOK them,they won't reply but ignore u because they thought u want to beg them money or disturb them,but if u r a millionaire or PMB or one Senator's son and they see your missed calls,bbm,whatsup etc,they will quickly call u back or reply u.Fair whether friends is d worst friends u can ever have,so u have to put ur trust in God.Look @ GEJ when he was President,he has millions of friends and everybody want to know and identify with him,today GEJ's friends have reduced by 95 percent.Assuming GEJ won d election and still d president,do u think those friends will reduce,it will rather increase. 1 Like |

zaza999:Are the friends owing you money. If no then they owe you nothing than FAVOUR. Yes you heard me right. Let us believe in ourselves and forge ahead trusting God. For He will never leave or forsake you. Sometimes give them a benefit of doubt. Jobs can't just be picked off the shelf. Most people knew how many years it took them to get one. Giving someone your cv and you started calling him everyday makes many people feel bad explaining to you that he has not gotten one. The only person I owe is God and my immediate family, all others we do ourselves favour. I have done great things for my friends that needs assistance but I take it as a favour and not a duty. 4 Likes |

Uhhm...this same issue has been on my mind for days.Everyone that promised to help me with a job has certainly left me hanging.From uncles who stop taking your calls..To friends who ignore your bbm messages reminding them of their promise to help in the jon search.Or is ot employers who string you along maybe because they don't know how to tell you they can't hire you?I just told myself to stop pushing too hard.Its too early to be cynical and discouraged,but its not easy.The season of unemployment is something I would not wish on an enemy.Do you know how depressing it gets waking up with no plans for the day?As far as efforts goes,I have tried.I have called everyone I can think of.I am tired of having my so called friends pity me.The latest was someone from law sch telling me,"how come a whole you does not have a job?You were one of the best in our class na,how come?"I didn't know when I started crying.Its not an issue of poor result,nor not praying.Infact,I have been fasting to get a job with a good firm I can practice with.Abi na efforts?I started applying for jobs since august!Its october and I can't think of a law firm that I have not sent my cv to online.I try to encourage myself that this too shall pass!I even had to delete my facebook app because I am tired of people asking me "so where are you working?"In fact,now I get why many rich people become stingy.Because you don't know what they suffered to get to where they are.I am not even begging anyone for money o,just send out my cv,put in a good word.But no one can really do that.If there's anything I have learnt,its that nobody cares until you make it.How you make it,is solely your responsiblity!I know God will see me through this phase.I have decided to start work at a law firm that pays 15k.Its nothing but I figure with the way I get depressed and moody staying home,I may just become a nervous wreck if I don't get sth that takes me out of my house daily.That's my advice to anyone looking for a job.Get something to do to get your mind off things.Lately,I have been having insomnia,serious depression(that explains why I am active on nairaland) and can't even eat like I used to.I am tired rambling abeg.I hope for a better tommorrow. 11 Likes 4 Shares |
