So now I've poisoned the well. I'm mad at you. You have no idea why, because it's unreasonable. There's a covert contract, right? In my mind, I decided you owed me that. That's not really a good way to go through life. But you can expect that at some point you'll drive me to the airport or maybe you'd pick up dinner once or something like that. And hey, we're good.

You should definitely not drive somebody to the airport and then they don't pick up your calls and never hang out with you or do anything for you unless they need something and they call you. These people out themselves eventually because you never hear from them unless they need something from you. There's a lot of people like that in the world. Some of them are very selfish.

Others are just unaware. You get to decide what your boundary is. But it's not always that person's taking advantage of me. Sometimes people are just self-centered.
