When thinking about friendships and your relationships with others, regardless of their significance or lack thereof... Do you ever think about the costs and the benefits ? Is it wrong to do so?
Is it absolutely terrible to think about all the things you offer and the things you get in return? What if the costs outweigh the benefits? Under such circumstances, how big of a factor does loyalty play?
What if the relationship (this also refers to friendships...not just intimate cases) is no longer mutualistic? What if to you its a commensal relationship and subsequently it is an indifferent relationship to your friend/partner? Even worst (or is it?) what if the relationship is parasitic? What if one feeds off and the other suffers? When do you break ties??and if.... its indifferent to both parties??? BLAHHHH !!!
How much do you give... until you realize that you need something in return....
Is it all about balance?? Is there an "equilibrium" within relationships? I wish it was a two way reaction !

It is extremely rare that a relationship/friendship will have equilibrium. One almost always carries more weight than the other.
You are a science nerd dear <3, in any case I believe in equilibrium, but that is a very rare occurrence in human interaction.
