Sympathizing 2

I refuse to sympathize for the sake of friendship.

If maintaining good relations with you requires mindlessly agreeing with you and backing you up on your inane fantasies and obsessions, go find someone else to talk to.

You don't need friends to repeat what you already believe. Your own voice is good enough for that.

And in the apocalyptic event that you do ask for advice, there's no guarantee that you'll listen to it. You just want people to share in your private torments so that you feel more important, that you feel like the center of attention and the main player of an unfolding drama -- a manufactured drama.

You ask many questions. But invariably, those questions all revolve around you.

I see no reason to sympathize with you or to help you.
You don't even want to help yourself.
