A meeting of the minds may lead to romance. If single – pursue it! If not, settle for a more intellectual discourse.
Things aren’t as dire as all that, but if it works to your advantage for people believe that prospects are teetering on the brink then so be it.
In your efforts to be fair, you’re shortchanging those who gave while rewarding those who didn’t. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
It’s OK that a friend craves attention, but do they have to be such a downer? If someone’s going to monopolize the conversation, they can at least be more appealing.
Things tend to fall apart when you’re not around. It’s the downside to being a motivating personality. It’s also what makes you invaluable.
It may feel like you’re doing all the back scratching, but trade-offs are part of life. Don’t worry. Your itch will get taken care of soon.
