Why are we all expected to just accept everyone's friendship scraps? And its thought of as being "extra" to ask to be treated with respect. Why should I bother calling anyone a friend if I do 90% more for them than they wold ever do for me? I'm not going to try to force anyone to be a real friend to me. But I'm not going to just take what is given to me either. If it isn't worth my time I need to let it go.
