The closer you are to people, the more they seem to take you for granted?

There was a period of time this question was stuck in my head; Is he/she taking me for granted? Why do i feel so?

And finally i think i have the answer.

The closer you are, the more attached you will be to the person, consciously or subconsciously. And when you grow closer, its human instinct that you would increase your expectations of that person, and now the mindset would be: "Since i do this for him/her, he/she should also do it back"

Taking granted of, this 3 words are pretty common in friendships after awhile. Does taking granted of mean the person doesn't seem to appreciate your doings anymore? Lets step out of that thought and look at another perspective. I think its rather the case where since you both are so close now, one party thought it was a mutual understanding that there wasn't really the need to express one's feelings so much already.

There's no right or wrong answer in this case, it all boils down to your perspective and mindset.
