They are more than acquaintances but they are not the people you would turn to if there was a real crisis. They are more people you meet up with for an occasional coffee...or for me the people you always MEAN to catch up with but hardly ever do. Maybe this was your problem: these friends were always cancelling plans etc. Sometimes you outgrow friendships and it's time to let them go. Other times, you just have to accept that the friend is a lightweight friend and may never be anything else.

Clara: I'm pedantic as well - can't stand wishy-washiness. I like to know where I stand with ppl. astrorainfall: it's probably soft-hearts or sentimental reasons that ppl can't let go or move away. redbeanjon: if you can’t count how many times this has happened to you, then it’s probably time to reassess your friendships.

Although it seems common sense, a lot of people actually fall into this trap. Cheers to purging lightweight friends. Hi mooiness, excellent post.

Lina: yup, friends who drift in and out during different stages of our lives. blur ting: yeah yeah, I originally thought of the phrase "kleenex friends" (use and throw) but that's a bit too degrading. :P Lupin: yeah, heavy weight would imply more substance than not.

We all have a fair share of such friends. I have also learned not to expect too much from them or else we'll end up feeling disappointed. I like this classification “Lightweight friends”.

As long as we have a constant friend to be with the rest of those no so called friends we can deal it with easy without expecting anything from them. Im also learning to deal with it. As long as we have a constant friends that really cares and count on, it would be good enough. Mooise : Certain people is just pass through our life, we cant say they are our friends, it's just we know them. Friends are those group or person or individual that we can count on during our up and down. For your lightwieght friends, dont bother so much, jsut give and take. cheers..
