"They're Using Me"

What this archetype looks like

You notice who gives, who takes and who only appears when they need something. The good part is that you are hard to exploit. The hard part is that even good friendships can start to feel like a ledger. What helps is naming real imbalance when it appears, without making every friendship prove itself all the time.
