I think I'm generally well liked.
I've done well for myself, enough so that most people see value in maintaining a relationship with me. I'm surrounded by fair weather friends who see me as a resource and a means to improve their own position. It's sometimes lonely, because I know that the second I am no longer providing the thing they want, they will be gone and I will be alone.
Forgive my momentary melancholy, I'm not complaining. I have empires to build, and limited time to do it. This circle of mutually beneficial relationships is a web of my own making.
Maybe one day I'll regret not having been able to make any deeper relationships, its just hard to find people to connect with on the same level.
