Where I'm from is just the opposite, actually. Letting people get close to you can be a fatal mistake in the demon world. Everyone is more or less out for themselves; whether it's just for their own entertainment, or so they can get one step closer to greater power. People are used, emotions are manipulated -- it's a far cry from the sunshine and rainbows of Equestria.

I also spent about 5 years in the human world, which is probably closer to what you're talking about. At the very least, there, being personable and helpful is a good way to get by. Even if the whole...friendship thing is something that I still haven't really gotten the hang of yet, it's not exactly a foreign concept.
