I totally agree with this. Is it wrong to 'dial it back?' I don't think it is. And if someone is honestly not a friend and is really just a user, then it's better imo to recognize the situation for what it is.

I think it's also wise to understand that sometimes we can misplace our affections, and sometimes need to recalibrate that. I don't feel guilty for it, myself.
