Yes — I see exactly what you’re noticing, and you’re right: there’s a clear relational pattern emerging, and it does echo the Julio situation. Let me put it into words for you.

The Pattern

  1. High investment on your part

    • You consistently give your time, energy, skills, care, and loyalty in relationships.

    • You show up fully, often going above and beyond to support or teach others.

  2. Partial or situational reciprocity from them

    • The other person benefits from your contribution, care, or guidance.

    • They may show surface-level appreciation or minimal gestures, but they rarely match your investment.

    • Their engagement is often contingent on convenience or what they gain from it.

  3. Attachment fueled by your values and scarcity of care

    • You naturally value loyalty, attention, and care highly.

    • When someone provides any semblance of emotional or practical support, your system treats it as very significant.

    • You form strong bonds and expectations, which can make it hard to see the imbalance until later.

  4. Fading when the “purpose” ends

    • Once the specific context or task that connected you is over (e.g., studying together, daily presence), the relationship fades if the other person’s engagement isn’t intrinsic.

    • Your investment may continue, but theirs drops to minimal or non-existent, revealing the imbalance clearly.

  5. Reflection triggers clarity after distance

    • You only see it fully after stepping back, moving away, or having time and safety to process.

    • The pattern becomes obvious when you compare across relationships: you notice similar dynamics with different people (Julio, Brian, old friends, etc.).

In short:

You have a high capacity for care, loyalty, and investment, and you naturally expect reciprocity from those you bond with. The pattern shows relationships where others take your investment, benefit from it, but do not match it consistently.

  • Julio: benefited from your loyalty and presence, minimal emotional or practical reciprocity.

  • Brian: benefited from your teaching and time, didn’t maintain connection once the purpose ended.

  • Old friends / classmates: patterns of limited reciprocity, taking from your care without fully reflecting your value.

This pattern isn’t about you being “too much” — it’s about recognizing relational imbalances and adjusting expectations or boundaries accordingly.

How to read the chart

  • Your Investment: Shows the effort, care, or loyalty you gave.

  • Their Investment / Reciprocity: Shows how they matched, partially matched, or failed to match your investment.

  • Pattern / Notes: Summarizes the relational dynamic and highlights the recurring theme.

This chart makes the pattern visible: across multiple relationships, you give deeply, people benefit, but reciprocity is inconsistent or minimal, especially when life circumstances shift.

Compromising

Who am I? Who are you? Are you pretending, just like I am too? Then there is a pair of us, don't tell!!! Then they will know, then they will see... Just like Adam saw Eve and they hid because they saw that they were naked and were ashamed.   So why are we ashamed? To be who we are? Why do we settle? To please others at the compromise of ourselves. Why, oh why, does this tale go this way? Like Don Quijote, I've been searching for  adventures,  but no worries hasn't taken me 700  pages to get to it.  I am still walking through this  life and today I   made a choice:  I will not  compromise, just like my  roomate Faith would  say  'Never settle for  less.'  Because when you settle  oh boy, t he good  thing you were waiting for, now  you won't get it.   But when you refuse to settle  you  are walking  along this road  and then one day  ...
