What do stressful cases reveal? I believe you can understand who your friend or enemy is in stressful cases. Now your "friend" alleges that he'll be there for you forever and then (when you really need his help) he can demonstrate total inaction. He even can give you "good" arguments: "Bro, you're taking it to serious, you should downplay the severity". If you insist, he even can show harrasment or use xenophobic warning (in case if you're a foreigner). Another day, when that man needs your help and you refuse to give him a hand, his claim can be like that - "I thought we're allies! Why do you put restrictions on me? It's not fair! I'm not asking you to coddle me, but still...I'm more diminished than you by that time...." So, my point is - be careful when someone's is saying that you're friends or praises you. Maybe he/she just want to gain benefits from you (not giving you smth in exchange)
