I think we all want to be liked, and a small (Or large, depending on your personal madness) part of being liked is doing things that other people want you to do.

Unreasonable people are sometimes really good at making unreasonable requests seem normal.

Former friend: "I lied to you for six months! I think the problem is that you aren't honest enough with me! You need to start telling me everything about your life! That's the only way we can repair this friendship!"

Sheesh, you can say that again. The implication was that she had felt because I didn't tell her everything, I didn't trust her, and my not trusting her was why she lied - it was my fault, of course. I should have been more open.
