Hmm, well I don't really know what to say. It seems that no matter how nice I am to people or how much of my time I give to them, it doesn't really matter. Honestly, that kind of makes me feel like shit. I imagine not all people are like this, but at the moment, I'm having doubts.
Lately I've noticed that you can sit there, listening to someone's problems for hours. No matter how much advice you give them, or how little they let you say about yourself, it's never enough for them to actually feel the need to reciprocate.
I guess my "role in life," so to speak, is to be someone's "shoulder to cry on." How often do you see the crying person return to that shoulder once their problem's solved and they're happy again and simply want to enjoy the company of the shoulder? In my experience, virtually never. I'm mearly another rung on the ladder of success to be stepped on and then forgotten about. Your welcome for helping you up there.
Now, for the real question; am I just being a narcissist by thinking I deserve better?

Now, I don't often feel used per se. I tend to have a similar situation though. Shoulder to cry on. I am fortunate enough to have... cryers that are willing to reciprocate as you said. So I guess I lucked out.
Narcissism though. I don't think so. You do deserve better. I can't say I am privy to everything going on in your life; however, from what I do know. You definitely deserve better than whatever is driving you to write about this.
Someone out there is being a jerk to you. Someone out there might want to watch their back. =P
