Re: Anyone ever realized someone never had your best interests at heart?

[(Anonymous)]

I had an online friend who was funny and cool and a riot to hang out with. But after a while I realized that she was only around if there was nothing going on in her life. If she was bored, then I'd get twenty PMs in half an hour. If she had something to do, I wouldn't hear from her for days. When she had problems, she expected me to be there to listen to her vent or help her out in some way. When I had problems, she was busy, ttyl. If I had work to do and she wanted attention? PM and after PM until I gave her what she wanted.

In the end I had to distance myself a little. She was still my friend, but I realized that she wasn't as invested into the friendship as I thought, and there was no point in me putting in so much effort when she didn't reciprocate. So we'd still chat several times a week, but I declined to ignore my work and sleep for the friendship. Of course, she noticed. Her reaction told me all I needed to know. *I* was the selfish, cold one, and *I* had abandoned *her*, blah blah blah. I wished her well and peaced out of there.

That sucks.

I honestly can understand spending more time online when there's not much going on IRL. But if you're going to deliberately form a friendship with someone and expect them to be there when you need them etc. it has to go both ways. People you meet online ARE real people, not free therapy machines. I guess it's easy for some people to not realize this because they never meet them face-to-face (not that this never happens in meatspace either, of course...).

Sounds like a friend I had to ditch a couple years ago. Except she'd threaten to kill herself until somebody gave her what she wanted.
