And these people I actually know - people I've gone to school with, that I've worked with, friends of friends - they never bother to ask how I'm doing. I don't exist to them. It's easier to have acquaintances; I've never really called many people my "friend" because the connotations are too emotional and I don't need to get caught up in that, knowing they'll leave eventually.
