Friendship should consist of: ✔️ Mutual Respect ✔️ Some Compatibility ✔️ A General Feeling of Enjoying to Spend Time With the Other Person or People There are a lot of reasons to continue in a friendship, especially when there is a mutual benefit for all people in the friend group. When things become one-sided, bitter, or malicious, it is time to reevaluate why the other person is or was considered to be a friend. When you start with a healthy relationship, then it is worth holding on to!!!
I agree completely! I don't know if I'll be able to articulate this well, but I'll try. Sometimes, at least in my experience, it's hard to fix things after the friendship becomes one-sided. You don't want to seem demanding or selfish while expressing your needs. However, there should definitely be some sense of mutuality where both/all people are contributing something to the friendship other than just knowing each other for a long time. If one friend tries to communicate this and it's repeatedly shut down, I agree that it's time to reevaluate the friendship. Thanks for your thought-provoking input!
