I continue to talk with Justin because he’s learned not to express his racist sexist prejudices
when talking with me; but I know he hasn’t changed.
He feels obligated to talk with me because he knows I have no one else to talk with - no one I enjoy talking with - and I feel obligated to talk with him because he thinks he’s doing me a favor.

I wouldn’t talk with Leonard if Jennifer, before she left,
hadn’t asked me – begged me – to look after her father.
I just finished writing another letter to Jennifer. She feels
obligated to write to me because I’m looking after her father, and I feel
obligated to write back.
I can no longer even imagine meeting someone I could respect, and enjoy talking with. I can't imagine that, in the unlikely event I did meet someone I could respect, s/he would enjoy talking with someone as misanthropic as I.
