My favorite girl hates humanity

I just had yet another discussion with her about why nobody is trustworthy, and everything people do for each other is just an attempt to get people in emotional debt. She doesn't think people can do things just to be nice to someone they like.

Obviously I can't get anywhere with her. What a pain in the ass.

3. Ah, you're just trying to get her in emotional debt

Or get in her pants. ;)

Seriously, trust issues are so hard to overcome. There's an awful fear of letting anyone in - some people can just never do it.

4. Well, she does have a point.

It's a cynical point, but if you've been burned recently, it makes sense.

6. So does that mean that she's not doing anything for you,

Or that she's trying to take advantage of you?

9. That's exactly what I'd ask her.

My kind of logic there. :)

11. Jeez, sounds like a bummer to me.

and kind of sad, too.

I hope she can change her perspective, because otherwise, I'd imagine her energy would be a real drain to be around.

Good luck.

12. Sounds like she had a really rough time with one or both parents...

…she also sounds like not very good relationship material, although you should probably stick around as a friend and try to get her to talk about her feelings.

13. I've been working on that

probably for too long, but everybody needs friends, and I try to be a good one.
