A strong friendship should make you feel accepted, valued, and comfortable being yourself. Healthy friends support your growth, celebrate your successes, and offer encouragement when life becomes challenging.<\/p>\n
However, some friendships can begin to feel one-sided or emotionally draining. You may notice that someone seems uninterested in your achievements, turns to you only when they need help, or is unavailable when you need support.<\/p>\n
Over time, certain patterns may become clearer. A friend might frequently contact you only when they want something, constantly criticize or gossip about others, or ignore the boundaries you try to set.<\/p>\n
Paying attention to these behaviors can help you understand whether a friendship is still positive and supportive or whether it may be time to reconsider the role it plays in your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
