Friends?
I dislike people that use their friends...scratch 'dislike', I hate them. You know, the kinds that will use friendship as a means to manipulate you to their advantage, never once caring about you.
Unfortunately, these kinds of people think that they have calculated everything and everyone to get what they want, without anyone knowing their reality. But thats hardly true - eventually everyone sees through them. I think in the long run, while they get smaller things worked to their advantage they end up losing much bigger things - friendship and more importantly respect.
I give the people I know benifit of doubt most times. I sometimes go out of the way to help someone, but its a rotten feeling to find out that someone just "used" his/her assocation with you by manipulating you. I am usually not the confrontational type and never one to end a friendship with a fight. But then again I do end friendships by gradaully drifting away once I discover someone like that.
