People like me, when they need me. They get excited to see me, want to hang out, until the job is done. Then they don't care any more. They got what they wanted and now I go back to my hole and STFU. I think I'm getting to a point of just being a tissue and there's not much of a corner left

I can understand how you feel as if you’re being used. Rejection is never a great feeling and it’s seldom warranted.

Personally, I think that I might willingly suffer the rejection just to be needed, to be part of something.

I know you're not only looking for sympathy but I'm sorry that has happened to you. I have felt like that before. What i have learned is that people like that are not truly your friends. You must be vigilant in separating the people that truly care about you and the ones that just want to use you as a tissue. Then again you can also find comfort in the idea that these people that look for you see you as a person they can count on in times of stress. But if it's causing you stress or anxiety them it's probably best to keep your distance.
Thanks for this!

"people like that are not truly friends."
Made things worse there. Don't think I've had any then.
Oh well. Maybe I'll make some sometimes.

True friendships are hard to find in my opinion.

Friendship is about being equally supportive and well just enjoyable to be around.

I have met a lot of people that apparently thought I was just a “in the moment” friend. Shame on me to trust to quickly.

I am careful who I trust with all of me, surface “ friends” I don’t invest a lot into the “ friendship “

I think it is amazing to find just a few that are life long friends.

Just how life is.

The feeling is mutual. In all respects, I think everyone is to quick to judge. Over the last ?few days, I've really seen how much of a burden I am to everyone I meet. Now for the unbelievable truth. I have given all my life. I'm the go-to guy for just about everything. Do I feel used? YES. But I feel ....Like I belong in this universe.

I hope you never change for anyone, but yourself

Coming from a large family I kind of skated by without having many friends. I was too caught up in family melodrama. They only call me when they want something. Usually money. I told them the ATM is closed. I don’t hear from them as often now. The only friends I have now are people who pretty much insisted on being my friend because they just like me for me. I’m still suspicious, that’s just the way I’m wired now I guess.
