Dex,
You are such a wonderful person and if anyone thinks differently then that is their loss. I wish I had someone like you IRL to be my friend..but I do think of you as my friend. I know that you are so valued at this forum.
People in my life seem to push me away too unless they need something. It just seems like people are too busy living their own lives to take time out to help their friends when they need it. It is crappy that we get put on the backburner for things that we have no control over.

Stay strong,
Jessica
