During college, I took Sociology as an elective class & there's only one point that professor made that stuck with me.
One can go on and on about respecting those we love, who deserves it, how to give it....but the truth is, we only have interactions with those people if we are getting something from them. I'll bet that whether you are introverted or extraverted, have a few friends or a ton of "friends"....you can only count on one hand those that you really get things/needs from that you also give those to. ??? Any input, World?
"People are only in relationships as long as they are getting something."
Isn't that so true?! You only care about the cashier for as long as you are in his/her line. You only stay friends with people as long as you are getting some sort of perk (i.e. emotional support, professional connecting, financial back-up plan,etc.) It's the same with those we love including our families.
