(Note to self)

A friend who cares about you will not be selfish. You will be there to listen to her when she's down, but she must be interested to listen to what you have to say as well. Evaluate your friendship, will she still be your friend when she doesn't need you?

Similarly, evaluate your friendship with a person if you see yourself putting your own needs before hers/his. You're being unfair to someone if you let her/him think you value the friendship a lot when in fact you just want someone to listen to your troubles and have someone to hang out with. Or maybe you really do value that friendship, but how often do you put your needs before hers/his? Or are you more interested in talking about yourself that listening to what s/he has to say, simply because you don't -genuinely- care?

Say you realise you don't actually care that much. Should you decide to put in more effort, or slowly distance yourself away? Because sometimes we can't fake our interest in people. Be genuine to everyone, including yourself. And don't ever lie to people about how much they mean to you. Never.

Always be honest.
