Generally I find that I don't have economically viable friendships with people who demand a lot of emotional support, but expect to pay for it in kind, because I don't demand much emotional support in my friendships.
There's near zero value to emotional support they're shipping my way, because I have very infrequent demands for it. Whereas there's a lot of angry bargaining when I ship emotional support over and ask for something else in return. 😂
I shall add this to my dating profile at some point.

There was post in a "subtle asian dating" group : "be yourself is bad advice". My response was
1. Be yourself
2. Have a solid understanding of the economic supply/demand
3. Decide if you want to change anything (i.e. haggling) - no one is forcing you to change!
