Why do friends and family say to call them anytime night or day when they don't really mean that?
Thats what they do i think it's because there selfish and dont really care or understand....things are always on there own time when they want to answer or talk... I dont think any of my family are truly there for me, if i told them all i wasn't goin talking to them anymore they would probably not even bother me they would give up and then say "leave her off if she's going to be like that"Why do friends and family say to call them anytime night or day when they don't really mean that?
The only people who I know mean this are my parents, because I have called them maybe 2-3 times over the past few years at 5am and cried for an hour and they talked to me and didn't make me feel bad about it .
However. That was once in a blue moon. If I did that 4 nights a week for a month straight I think they would feel differently (which is understandable, I get super cranky when I'm kept awake).
Because it's a social convention. Just like asking the question 'how are you?' isn't meant as an invitation to reply honestly. I found in this world it's pretty much 'every man for himself and god for all'. Generally people only care about themselves and view others in this way: what can this person do for me or how does his/her behaviour affect me?
It's a rare breed of person that actually cares about another human-being. Regardless of family ties or social bonds.
Right. But that is something.

It would be better if they were honest. Then we wouldn't get our hopes up.
