Financial, emotional, and I'm a handy man. Everybody needs help with stuff. I can do just about anything. It starts with something small. Then soon I'm fixing their AC. Their computer. Then their roof. Then their car. And it used to be just over beers as friend helping friends. Then I would get into a bind and call them for help and they would be too busy or give me some other excuse. Then I would throttle back on helping them. Then they would ghost me until they really needed my help. Then we would seem to be good again. Then they would ghost me again until they needed something else.
I have questioned every interaction I've had with people over my lifetime since I have so much time to think about it. I realize I'm part of the problem. I made the help balance too much for others to match. Not smart. But, I do like to help people. I think some felt guilty about it and that's why they ghosted me. Others just didn't enjoy my company and my type of humor. But, it was just fine when they needed help. I heard one talking to his "best" friend on the phone. He said something like way, so and so is here fixing the window. I'll try to get rid of him so we can shoot some pool. Ummm, I like to shoot pool too and I'm not too bad either. But apparently not good enough.
I've found I'm the convenience friend. I'm just not wired like most people. I admit I'm odd. People in general have relationships to gain something from them. Most people are selfish IMO. So, when you aren't providing something to someone then you have no value to them. And, with that you are unneeded and/or unwanted. So, they ghost you. It's human nature IMO.
I don't think I've ever sought a friendship for a bond. It always just sort of came about due to similar interests or they needed help with something. Maybe that should have been a clue. I only ever sought female companionship.
