True, I didn't have to say anything

I've read your posts since you've joined and they are always well articulated and wiser than most newcomers.
That's why I am surprised that you gave her the short-term boost.
Are you two still friends?
I broke up with this girl in March.
We're civil to each other, because she's still one of my dance students, but I'm not exactly picking up her mail or doing her any favors. She might call that friendship. I just don't talk about that kind of thing because it's irrelevant... so I guess the answer is no, we are not friends, not in any meaningful, mutually beneficial way.
I'm polite, that's about it. If someone says hello, I'll say hello, that I'm busy (true) and get back to what I was doing.
The boost was no cost to me aside from mental annoyance. That annoyance would have been present anyway because she initiated contact in the first place - basically saying "I need someone to make me feel better."
Let me know if my politeness is a mistake - I don't think it is.
