Would it hurt you if someone you have helped to get started becomes indifferent?

This is a hypothetical question. Let's say you have helped someone to get started on something. You have extended all possible help to him/her; nurtured him/her. This someone then becomes popular or successful. Would it hurt you if you become just one of the many faces he/she has now in his/her life? or would you just shrugged your shoulders and say: "Well, success is handled by people in different ways," and then forget about it?

Excuse me? I'm over here!!!! That what I would say to them.....never bite the hand that feeds you or reaches out and help you....I would be pissed....then I would dismiss them from my life as anyone that would treat you like a nobody after you have helped them get a start isn't worth having in your life...

not exactly hurt, but i would appreciate an occasional hello every now and then. hehehe
i would be glad to be instrumental in the beginnings of his success. and if he made it big, i'd be very happy for him. if the time came that he becomes indifferent, that's his choice... but not my loss. :)

Well, I suppose it would be hard to deal with and yes it would hurt, but you could always say "I helped him get started!" No one may believe you, but you will know.
