Hypothesis of friend

It feels awful to have known someone whom you treat as best mate is indeed manipulating you for his/her own benefits and unintenionally threw out a word that could pierce right through your heart. Maybe I was a lil too sensitive, but knowing someone needs stimulation would rather be mean most of the time than giving complimentary is so paranoid. And how desperate he/she is simply to prove that he/she is better off than you taking into account the hardwork he/she contributes.

Do you get the picture?
