Some people are so deficient in gratitude from others,
They have a lack of appreciation so profound that they will tend to overplay the inconvenience following a solicitation, so as to artificially create the expression of a surplus of gratitude in the person who asked something from them.
Too often, plagued by fatigue or myopia in analysis, we tend to see the exasperation and ignore the deficiency in care.

Notes & Silence 
A form of manipulation. As ever, it arises from a damaged psyche.
I think you are making a plea for compassion.
Compassion is, likely, unacceptable to the psyche concerned.
A conundrum, in practical terms.

Whether they know it, receive it, or not,
is not what is at stake.
Compassion is often the most important tool in our personal survival kit.

This, however, bears further examination.
Is not compassion unexpressed little more than a warm fuzzy feeling?
Is not compassion expressed toward those who do not want it ironically selfish? Possibly, even, deleterious?
Perhaps there is compassion in accepting acts of compassion.
Perhaps the implements in the toolkit need some refinement.
Just thinking out loud…

This is what i meant
Maybe I wasn’t clear.
Compassion, esp. when considering its etymological origin (suffer with) is not appropriate here.
I need a word saying (be at peace with /emanate peace toward)
I should ask an expert in Greek to come with a creative linguistic tool…

I do not claim to be an expert, but I’ll try and think of a term…

Who said I thought about you?
J’aimeAimé par 1 personne
I do not recall claiming you did. I just happen to be available.

Oh..if availability becomes the only criterion for recruitment, then it’s no wonder we have difficulties on the job market.
I was , and still am, kidding, of course.

I would never presume either way…
Hee-hee!
