believe it or not, i encountered the same thing not once, but several times this year, which eventually lead me to think about the definition of friendship in the first place. i think i sometimes value friendship too much, i.e. i bring more into it than the other party, and everytime this devotion is not returned, i feel betrayed. i'm still not sure whether this is a misconception on my end or whether (some) my friends are indeed pricks at heart...
