If a negative experience ends on a slightly positive note, you'll often remember it as a positive experience.

As human beings, we need variety in social interactions. Not even variety in the amount people, but variety in the types and facets of people. If we don't have that variety, it can create a dependance on that person, and create a sense of frustration because they can't do everything.

Recognize for yourself, is the status quo good? Going against it might be difficult, but the outcome is good.
# Decisional Balance
