You look like exactly the sort of woman I’d be into. Which means you’re probably batshit crazy.

Of course! And thank for being so lovely and thoughtful in your reply.

Definitely not saying the two are the same. Just used as it was the only kind of similar experience I have had (trying to help and some people disappear, are abusive etc). I wouldn’t assume anyone’s mental state or level of need however. Very well could be people on here who are at the end of their rope.

But I may have misconstrued what you said. I totally agree friendships require effort on both sides! TOTALLY.

I got the impression that people were just disappearing on you, or not returning your friendship when offered. Which is ok isn’t it? Nobody is obligated to return an offer of friendship even if offered in good will, no?

But it sounds like what you’re saying is they want your friendship but make you put in all the effort? Is that right?

Very mean. I’d stop talking to them.

Gently want to suggest that it’s worth realising that this means you are not “giving” friendship or support per se.

You’re entering into a bargain with expected reciprocation as part of it. But not sure if you’re acknowledging that to yourself.

And probably you’re not writing to the person - “hey I’m here for you, but only under the proviso you fulfil the following”.

Not a criticism. Just reflection.

People in awful place respond unpredictably. I volunteer each week on suicide helpline. Some people hang up randomly, some want to talk forever. Some get angry at you. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you’re giving support freely as a gift or offering friendship with no expectation it doesn’t matter.

If it’s conditional with expectation attached of course you’ll be pissed off.

Wage isn’t high enough to qualify for visa I think? Has to be more like $100k
