Thank you for your advice. "friendships are false" by that I mean; that my "friends" only need and ask for my help wen in deep trouble, and I don't feel they are asking the way as a favor. For some reason my "friends" seem fake.

I perhaps might not be the best person to get advice from on this because I am an introvert (recently retook Myers-Briggs and it placed me as an moderate introvert, although in the past I've been at extreme). I have spent days at a time happily alone, not talking to anyone, so I care less about what others think compared to most people I know. I've learned to just say no when favors would drag on my resources and the situation isn't dire enough. I would suggest having similar boundaries.

It may be different for you though, you may want these people to like you or be your friend, so perhaps you can't do that?

Again, I suggest talking to a counselor who would probably have better experience dealing with different types of people.
