I like making girls smile. I like making people happy. I like brightening up somebody's crap day. Any time I see somebody is upset I will crack a joke or a witty remark. What I don't like, however, is constantly being the person that people look to for that.
There comes a point where it gets tiring to hear, "Hey, I had a crappy day, cheer me up" on the spot. First off, there is just pressure in that statement. If you are boring, or in a crappy mood yourself, and don't manage to say something clever or charming or adorable, that's it. You are done for. They want nothing to with you. Secondly, if I am having a crap day, the last thing I need to do is focus on cheering somebody else up, I should be working on myself. In rare occurrences, I feel like that is the only reason some ladies talk to me.
As a general note, there are the types of people who, when everything is fine, they are ghosts in your life. When they need somebody to bitch to, or to get a cheap laugh out of, bam they reemerge. It gets tiring. I'll admit I call people just to vent, but I will generally care about what is going on with them, how their life is, etc. Friendship is not mutually exclusive, it goes both ways. I don't understand why people do something like this. I don't know if it's selfish, or just taking advantage of a person's kindness. Who knows.
