I'm beginning to find the Cycle of Friendship very confusing:
I have a friend who generously offered to research and help me with something that would be way too confusing and overwhelming to do on my own. This friend has sacrificed a lot of time (and nerve cells, I'm pretty sure) in order to help me.
And so, I then tried to give that friend a gift in return for all their time, to which, this friend reacted... by threatening me. ("Don't you ever do that again!!!") I seem to get that a lot (and this time, it was from someone other than my parents!)
And now this "friend" is apparently sending me large quantities of a substance in return... that has the potential to quite possibly kill me.
Man. Friendships are confusing.
I'm thinking that now I finally understand what a "Frenemy" is.
