>>258118Basically what
>>258495 said. True friendships have something of roughly equal value in it for both participants. If they're always "borrowing" stuff, not listening to you, or you're always the one to initiate, leave. That boy is a Chinese time vampire and will infuriate you.
>>258496We can learn though. The Internet makes this easier than ever. Take Xbox live for example. You can keep track of every time they invite you vs you invite them. Download the Xbox app too so you can count up any overnight invites and tally em up during breakfast. Match but don't exceed. You can also learn to detect egotism through their word choice.
>>258812Add a healthy amount of schizo tendencies to your life. With autism, your only options are the default 100% trusting or 100% paranoid. Both amount to huge losses. I still can't detect ulterior motives and I hate it. Someone always has to step in and tell me.
>>258969Not always. I know a guy on IRC who calls everyone bud. Including me.
