There are 'friends' who only ever contact me when they need something from me. Whenever I get a phone call or text message from these people, it's usually when they need something, whether to borrow my notes, asking for my help with homework or to ask for advice.

Don't get me wrong, I would always help people if I can, even if the person asking isn't on good terms with me. But it'll be nice if I get some sort of acknowledgement apart from a perfunctory 'Thanks', even if it's just an occasional text or e-mail saying hi.

As it is, I start to feel like I'm being used.
