Take stock in the ones who have reached out with nothing asked of you... the rest, kindly tell them to go outside and play a game of hide and go fuck themselves. It reduces stress in the long term.

Eh, they're not bad. They're just normal, self centered people. They're the default. It's human nature. The people who do actually care are the ones who decide to be better than average.
