Friends keeping me "sheltered"

I think so too, because I have been in similar situation myself. Few years back I was kinda like a backup buddy to most of my "friends". When they were having a hard time from their own friends, I was suddenly popular to hang with. But in that instant that they managed to have their friends back, it was bye bye for me.
And the sad part in this whole mess was that I knew the whole time what purpose they had in mind for me, and still I considered them as my friends. I was lonely at that time, and extremely shy, so that might explain my behaviour.

How ya doing, buddy?
