I find that constant disregard, high expectations and no gratitude are what help relationships flourish. In a terrible kind of way. But if you be good and nice a lot, then you're setting up this false sense of faith that this be consistent. If you be horrible all the time then occasionally shake it up by saying 'thanks' or 'you look nice', then there's stability. And when it comes to family, stability is a must. When it comes to friends, who the fuck knows? I don't. It's probably a free-for-all, stab you before you stab me sort of thing. Which sounds exciting. With family, it's The Land of Eggshells. That's TM-ed, by the way. Use it and I'll sue you.
