Something just occurred to me ... and it was something that would pop in and out of my head now and then.
People who run at the first sight of trouble are not your friends. They are only there for the good times. They don't want to see or deal with the "you" that is down, depressed, sad, etc. Those aren't the qualities of a real friend.
Even when you just want people to leave you alone, the ones who pester you, who are always asking you how you are doing ... those are your true friends. They ask because they care ... they see you in pain, and by association because they are true friends ... they are in pain. It's selfish to think that you don't affect others.
These are the people that you can count on. They are the ones to celebrate in your joy, and to pick you up when you are down. They are the people you cherish and hold on to, otherwise you'll surround yourself with indifference.
So when you get back up ... and those other people come around ... you need to ask yourself "Where were they?" ... and if a hearty "F*ck YOU" were to escape your lips, I'm sure your TRUE friends would agree.
