There is a theory that we all build our relationships around the needs we have of what others offer. I can't remember it fully, but it's something you can't escape. Just by being in that persons life you are fulfilling a need they have and them to you. But those needs do change over time and that is when relationships tend to fade.
I can't remember, it's the holidays and I'm an introvert. I've been around a shit load of people and can't think straight. It's made me grumpy. The point is every so often you hear some new spin on this, "friend for a reason a season and life." "Friend for a moment until they kill you." It's a social science theory if you're interested.

Except the people that truly love you, because they love YOU, not their relationship with you.
I cannot tell you how clearly this expresses some people I've met. Loyalty is my most desired trait in a relationship of any kind and it's sad to know that I have "friends" who only want me for the things I can give them and not for me as a whole. Don't let this stop you from making friends but do make sure they are REAl friends when you make them.
