Spending Time

It has recently been asked why I have spent some time with person X, when they don't put themselves out for me and never get birthday presents on time. This was contrasted with person Y who I could have spent time with instead who has apparently done more for me.

I think the quite simple explanation is that, I enjoy the company of X more than Y, despite what comparatively to each other they may have done for me. Should I spend more time on Y than I do? Probably, but this is tricky if that time will drag.

Perhaps the answer is to learn to enjoy time with Y more, or perhaps I should feel less guilty, or perhaps this is all just a red herring, distracting from me not spending enough time with Z.
