fair?

im glad so many people find me to be someone they can talk to and one to go to for advice, entertainment, or a shoulder to lean on. But i feel like for many people that as soon as i need that in return, they are either not there or they try to be supportive in ways that arent helpful at all. but people want me to change so they can get along better with me and refuse to accept they are any part of the problem, or they come to me multiple times a day wanting hours long chats and i cant give it anymore. but i feel horrible telling them these things so i try to compromise and multitask so im not up til 4am doing homework. but than im not an attentive friend and im not answering fast enough. i feel selfish, but i have enough going on in MY life right now, that i cannot deal with everyone else's problems. i can be there for a few people, but not everyone i know. i can be there for you, but not for half my day everyday. and if i listen and help you so much, is it possible that you could do the same for me? now this doesnt apply to everyone, just the ones who seem to believe im a therapist and one to take out their stresses on.

does that seem fair?
