Sounds like you've been stung pretty bad.
I've got a few that I'd take a bullet for. They've certainly put themselves in the line of fire for me. Of course the environment I was in pushed that make or break aspect hard.
I doubt that I was unluckier than anyone else. I just made bad decisions when I was young and chose to ignore some rather obvious warning signs because I was having too much fun. It's easy to think of friendship when everything's hunky-dory and the beer is flowing, but it's when the hard moments hit that you find out PDQ what's what and who's who.
