So are you a User? As in, do you only approach a person because s/he has something of use to you? Ever met a person or have a "friend" like that?
I was recently talking to this man that had no problem saying that he only approached people who were interesting and could further his agenda.Those who stopped being relevant were dropped from his life. I found it sad, but reconfirmed my feelings for him as my gut told me to stay as far as possible a long time ago. He's a "friend"/business partner of a friend of mine, so it doesn't affect me as we were not particular close anyways.
I wonder how they could sleep at night...a bit lonely and pitiful if you ask me

Yes, I've been used. For stupid crap in a gaming community, just because I did some work at EA. Suddenly I had so many "friends". Woohoo. I know, not the most exciting answer, but there ya go.

I was once friends with this woman who used her boyfriend just to have him pay her bills, She was only with him, to get what she wanted. He was a dummy.. we all told him how she was..He lost his house because of his stupidity.
She is homeless now and is going from place to place.
She once tried to get me to move in with her just so I could pay her bills. I told her Im not her stupid ex, We stopped being friends soon after that.

Some people are lovers of things and users of people instead of lovers of people and users of things.
To him, this is normal.
He probably wonders the opposite: "Why are other people so crazy that they even bother with those who can't do anything for them?"
I'm not like that but yes, I've known others like that and no, I don't have friends like that. I'm not easily walked all over nor am I easily suckered into someone with a hidden agenda. I'm pretty good at picking out NON genuine people to make friends with them.
I prefer not to associate with those that only befriend someone based on what they can get from them. It's kind of sad and pathetic that someone would live their lives like that only preying on people rather than genuinely wanting to be friends.
When people find out I can get free flights on private jets, and that I can fly small planes myself I make a lot of new friends. When they find out that I will ONLY do it for close friends and family, they disappear.
Now, I just tell people I'm in 'aviation' and leave it at that.
No, and can't stand those who are. I'm also suckered pretty easily - at first. But by the time I see the true person, there's no doubt about it. I guess that kind of offsets my gullibility. I'm trusting and give eveyone a clean slate until they tarnish it. So, yes I've been taken and felt really stupid but I remember the lesson once I learn it. I don't hate anybody, but I don't think we have any obligation to pretend people are our frinds who really aren't.
If i find out someone is a user, i dont walk away, i run. These people dont give two craps about anyone. Everyones just a means to their end, so give up and forget about em.
Don't need anyone. I will actually go out of my way to do things myself.
I knew many people who would use people for whatever. If I had no interest in them I never pursued them further. I felt it was cruel to do that.
