A day or two ago I was discussing possible plans with a friend and her first reaction was to say, "Good, you have someone to keep you company so I *can* go out on a date that day." I'm not upset with anyone, but it brought back that warped idea that people feel obligated to see me and don't actually care to. Anyone else get the feeling that people are just babysitting you so you don't screw up and overreact sometimes? It's annoying as hell.
