There are individuals in my social circle who never talk to me on a personal level nor do they bother to invite me out to any of their events or social gatherings. And then- whenever they need help with something, that's only when they contact me through Facebook or texting. And they don't even ask how I'm doing either. As soon as I give them help or provide them with an answer- that's when the conversation ends. I try to follow up with a "So how've you been doing?" or something of that sort, but it usually doesn't end up going anywhere because their intention, really, was to just get out an answer from me.

I don't know about you guys, but I have the utmost respect for people who actually ask me how I feel or how I've been doing. People who genuinely show interest in me instead of simply using my knowledge and resources to help themselves. I feel like I've been treated like a "question-and-answer" machine.

Does this ever happen to any of you? How do you deal with people who just ask for your help but never really bothered getting to know you?
