Giving but not RECEIVING



I'm sure most have experienced this but it irks me when people who are supposed to be your most trusted and loyal partners and they half ass the friendship. When I say half ass I'm merely referring to the fact that its uneven. I know I put in 130% when it comes to my friends but when the other is only giving back about 35% there's a problem.

Lately there's been one particular person who has continued to show me how callous they are. This said person is always coming to me for advice or to talk about he/she problems and ranting about their life and the minute you try to tell them about you they tune out completely or respond with a one word answer then turn the conversation back to them. I'm starting to feel like this persons therapist rather than their friend. Its sad because it wasn't like that in the beginning but lately and more frequently it's been all about them.
I could easily just cut them out of my life but that would be counter productive and I am still trying to situate the words so I can translate it better to this person..how should I go about this?
