I remember meeting some friends about a month ago, I asked them for some advice regarding a situation I was in at the time and by the end of it all, I felt ridiculed and just not good ... And none the wiser as to what to do ...
I met with some old friends last night, I felt bored and couldn't wait to get home and clean my room, read some books.
Despite this, I find that I don't feel lonely because I'm working towards my life goals. My goals excite me and I'm really working on them everyday.
I find friends to be a bit of a distraction. They are cool and ok to hang with occasionally, but now when I have dilemmas I talk to family members who never ridicule me and would actually listen to me, offer council and support me no matter what.
I don't know, sometimes I think maintaining some friendships is a waste of time/money/energy.
I feel like I'm making better life decisions everyday and becoming a man that I admire and that's more important that "cheap pleasures".
The people you describe sound more like Acquaintances rather than friends. Except for the ridicule part, that's what friends are for.
