Wow, I never thought about it that way, but I feel like a lot of my friendships have had the same result-- the engulfing vs. violating a hidden protocol. Sometimes it seems like that happens with the same individual. Like I have a friend who just wants way too much contact, and when I start to pull back a bit, my friend cuts me off almost entirely. It's like all or nothing with so many people.
