You're not my friend just because you say so

I find recently a lot of people have been telling me they really care about me and they are my true friend and all the rest of it.

Wow, I mean they are trying to convince me that I should be eternally grateful for the privilege of having their friendship.

The thing is, I don't feel thankful, in fact I wish they would just leave me the fuck alone. One good deed does not redeem a lifetime of bad, especially when shrouded in deceit.

Consider this guys, when you are in trouble, who do you think of first? They say a friend in need is a friend indeed. I think I understand this to a point, although we may need to differentiate between 'friends in need' and 'good for nothing parasites' as well.

Friendship is undoubtedly a complex arrangement which sometimes I would rather have no part of.
