This is a step in the right direction. I've had too many "friends" think I'm the guy they can dump their shit on, so many, many years ago I just quit listening to other people bitch about their problems unless I'm 100% sure they're trustworthy.
Don't let them guilt you back into that one-sided relationship. You don't owe anyone anything.
Believe it or not I have absolutely been in your shoes more than once. It's hard sometimes to turn your back on the people that need you because you're compassionate and simply care about your fellow man. But when you want the same treatment, rarely is it ever returned and you realize they just don't deserve your attention and affections. Sometimes it's something as simple as immaturity on their part. But we also have to learn to recognize certain behavior and try to avoid people like that in the future, or we'll ride the same cycle over and over again.
Stay strong buddy, sounds like you're doing the right thing.
