@better.social.skills: Have you ever felt like your friends were using you in order to get access to something? But if you think about it, aren’t we all using our friends for something they offer that we want access to? Maybe it’s their hilarious stories, or their delicious meals, or their music taste, or their connection to an exclusive club. I tend to think the people who are worried that they’re being used by their friends, are overthinking it. We all benefit from our friendships in some way, shape or form. Do you agree? Have you ever felt like your friends were using you? Let me know in the comments.
I've been told flat out numerous times by the users themselves that they were in fact just using me

Most people want to be friends with me. I don’t want to be friends with just anyone. Most people are draining.

I had a big ass house and a brand new car by 21. The friends that cared about the stuff more than me would treat the stuff badly because they thought I didn’t deserve it.

Singh’s Landing :
I was *Mr Christmas* in my friend group. Every December I’d throw a soiree at my house to start the holiday season. Reciprocity never entered my mind. It was about togetherness and Christmas spirit. One December after one of my annual gatherings, some of my guests threw gathering of their own over the next couple of weeks and all the mutuals got invited. My wife and I were…overlooked. Just … oops. Spent new years eve at home while a friend hosted at their house. Never welcomed them into my home EVER again.

It’s proximity children just hang out with each other because they’re the same age and nearby.

More than really hanging out w/ me. Then there would be times she’d cut my off from friends of mine that she got to know. Overall, just felt used
