Being An Introvert I Have Fewer Friends But All Are Good Friends.

I am very picky with who I would call a friend. Those I let into my life find I'm very loyal and that I jump in and help them whenever something comes up in their life that needs another pair of hands. I volunteer myself to help lighten their load and they are my friends because they would do the same for me. Because they are my friends they are not takers by nature but accepting to get help when life requires it. I have one friend and two couples my husband and I are close to. Him and I are both loners but very loyal to the few friends we have. We are helpful to oUr friends and some family because they do not take advantage of us. My loyalty has stopped a few times in the past only when I'm being used. Being me I don't like conflict so I'll just distance myself from users who are usually family members who think you were born into the family to be a free babysitter 50+ hours a week Etc. I have good truthful reasons why I don't have time until they get the hint and try to claim another victim.
