Interesting post. I'll add that I've always been inclined to develop ATF's. I like the comfort and friendliness. I can't say that I've ever "kicked one to the curb" but over the years I've (slowly) discontinued seeing my fav's for a variety of reasons. One most recent began to turn the conversation (too) often to drugs. I never saw evidence that she used them and never in six years have I heard her talk of them. But saw her once or twice a week for the last few years and this became a repeated topic of conversation for her. Often she was proclaiming how proud she was that she "never used them." Hmmm. I wonder. See, I don't have lunch with Tony the Tiger either so I don't ever bring it up. So, alarm bells start increasing in volume and visits start decreasing in frequency.
