It is impossible to live your life on the assumptions of others. If you are doing what others think you are supposed to do then you aren't actually living your life... you are living the life they think you should live.
I grow tired of doing things that make me feel like shit or uncomfortable because of what others think. There is too much of that in my job that I don't want to have to deal with it in my personal life. And far too often the person with the expectation is one who would not inconvenience themselves for me. I refuse to live like that. I don't think anyone should have to.
As a friend I am learning to pay more attention to what I ask of my friends and making sure that I wouldn't ask them to do anything that I would not do myself. And sometimes you can't look at the literal action... you have to think about feelings as well. Isn't that what friendship is all about?
