Those people

Do you know the ones I am talking about?

Those people that don't really have a lot of friends and they think you are a better friend with them than you are.

You feel sort of bad for them so you are nice to them.

You listen to their problems.

You sympathize with them.

Yet every time you talk to them you are annoyed.

You try to edge out of the conversation but it never works.

I was contemplating this but then I realized that everyone is that person to someone else.

So next time you take pity on someone think about how you have been that person to someone else...
