I wish people didn't ask about someone for the sole purpose of being asked in return.
You can tell the difference.
I'm halfway through deployment, which is awesome. What isn't awesome is that people are still relying on me to pull them out of their own crap when I have so much of my own to deal.
I know this makes me sound like an awful person.
BUT I am more than happy to be there for my friends, to be there for the people who are a part of my life. The people that I'm talking about are the people that ONLY talk to me when they need a shoulder to cry on. The people who ONLY ask how I am so that they can unload their problems on me after I ask them.
It pisses me off. And it's draining because no matter how frustrated I get, it's hard not to be there and not to listen. I've never been good at putting myself first. But these people make me downright angry. Completely self-motivated, self-pitying and yet careless towards others!!! It's disappointing...
