[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes people just have their own stuff going on.  People take things way too personally.  I also had a double mastectomy.  It was prophylactic.  I expected nothing and I wasn’t disappointed.  It was surgery, but no different than lots of surgeries my friends have had.  I’m grateful to have a wonderful spouse and kids.  It really sounds like some people almost see friendship as some sort of obligation.  It’s too easy to find reasons to be irritated with people.  Expect less and be happier.  [/quote]

Good for you? Mine was multiple months of recovery and multiple surgeries. I see friendships as a two way street and, for me, don’t have to be asked to step in and help (& I have on many occasions). If I have such low expectations to expect nothing then we aren’t friends. [/quote]

Same for me.  It was much easier than I anticipated.  I’m more comfortable helping than being helped, I guess.  My low expectations allows me to appreciate my friends and not be disappointed by “keeping score”.  [/quote]
