Making the effort

I dont know if im a good judge of character, or im just paranoid. I just dont understand what's the point of being so calculative and manipulative?
If i decide i want to do a favor for you, i dont expect anything in return (In case you didnt know, that's what a favor is ; a deed that is carried out because of a persons own goodwill ).
At least in my book it is.
Fortunately, i do have friends who are unapologetic and unassuming. They dont apologize for making me doing things for them and they dont assume that i want or need anything in return for doing that favor. Likewise, i dont apologize or assume either.

Why cant my friends be like they are on television? I wish there are more Joey (as in Friends) in the world. Sad as it may be i just have to settle for the real-world friends that i have, even though i have to say ......

It's just so difficult to please everyone. Im tired of being nice all the time.
