Ever had a parasitic friend who always look at the angle of benefitting from u and never seem to give to u no matter what flows in his/her hand. You are the one always making the expenses on him/her and never receive from him/her. NOTE: Not because he/she doesnt have, but because he/she does not have the will to share with u the way u did with him/her wen u had it. How do u manage such a friend be it HE or SHE?

It happens alot during college days.

As you said they are everywhere,u just decide to give or not 2 give. As for me I still help when I feel like,not expecting anything in return cos they think they are wise but they don't knw they are just fooling themselves

Well when you give don't expect to receive from them. That's how I live

Get rid of them... what the hell is wrong with you ppl?

^^^
I second that.

Are u saying the friendship shld be ended just because of this?

Of course.. its not like they are your family. A parasite doesnt care about you, get rid of them

I had a lot of them in college days,there's this one that never likes to spent when with people. What I do is to avoid spending too when around him,he's exceptional stingy,but my friends,and I dealt with him by excluding him in our plans.

Plarp: Of course.. its not like they are your family. A parasite doesnt care about you, get rid of them

not really advisable to end a friendship cos of that.
My method that works 100% is to pay them in their own coin. I become parasitic to them and them alone. Before they come along to ask for something, i've already asked them for that, no matter how little it is they have.
That way it becomes a symbiotic relationship. I have lots of them and we are very good friends.

Like Jesus said, ''give and expect nothing in return,for thy reward is in heaven''

@flashaldrin, o boy u go kill person wit laugh for here. U are too funny abeg.

I dont just know why som pple could just be that selfish and parasitically immuned. One friend of mine during college days had the habit of wanting to receive anything, i mean 'anything' from u but u can never get a needle from him. He begged anything beggable frm garri to sugar to polish to spoon/plate to salt to lighting matches to foot sox just name it. At a time, i became fade up with him after using my phone to make calls and wen i curiously checked his airtime balance, he had more than N1,800 on his phone and yet he collected my to make his calls. I dont know his whereabout now but i learnt he's still living the same life parasiting wit people around him. Mayb its in his gene.

note: he was not that poor that he couldnt afford all those bt just because of the in-born stinginess in him.

Can you cite examples pls?

Friendship has to be a mutual kind for it to work (both parties gain) or at worst, symbiotic (one party gains, while the other part neither gains nor lose). Once a party is losing, it is becoming parasitic and is not fit to be called a friendship.
A saying in my tribe is interpreted as "Deity if you can better my condition, leave me as I am"

kill the parasite...parasites are the first to leave when they see you "dead". friendship requires two people who are after eachothers good.
