Friendship Feels Like a One-Way Street

Ever notice how some friends only text when they need a ride or want to borrow money? That was my reality with Jake. He'd vanish for weeks, then pop up with a favor to ask—never just to see how I was doing. The worst part? When I needed him, he was always "busy." At first, I thought I was just being dramatic, but the pattern was too obvious. It stung to realize our friendship was more like a service hotline than a real connection. Eventually, I confronted him, and—surprise—he acted like I was overreacting. It hurt, but I learned to set boundaries and value friends who actually care. Funny how losing a fake friend can feel like gaining peace. 😅🚦 #FriendshipTruths #ToxicFriends #SelfWorth
