What defines friendship . Keeping it alive or cutting bait.
It was the anniversary of my father's death. Well, his birthday. He died may 3. 2022. And his birthday, had he lived, would have been May 25. So recently and my friend finally responded to me like a week later saying hugs and kisses. And frankly, at that point I looked at the message she wrote me and I'm like, f you. Not to her, but in my head

People that I honestly would have to say that even anything bad that they may have done to me or said to me, I honestly wouldn't want to cut them out of my life completely at the first sight or the first hearing of a negative outcome of such. I would want to make amends or try to make amends because I feel that that specific relationship would be worth keeping. And I know everybody is different
Unfortunately, this has been an ongoing thing with this person, and again, it is a bit of a challenge for me because, yes, they have had a positive impact my life, and there's been some good points, but it's just again, it's very mentally exhausting for me because I'm always there for this person. Day, night doesn't matter, and when I need them, they are not

Again, I would advise after that conversation, just having another waiting period, just to let it kind of settle in as to what their response is to how these interactions made you feel before you make a decision, but just try and get as much info as possible before you do finally make that choice. Good luck to you. We're here for you if you need anybody else to talk to about these situation or just sounding bored
Hello. Thank you, Kayla. I really appreciate your kind words. Yeah. You know, I probably should have let y'all know that even though I was venting and my voice sounded a bit angry, I haven't reacted in anger towards this person in terms of, like, completely cutting them off. No, it's something I've been contemplating. But you're right. I don't act out of anger anymore. I have learned over the years to even though validate how I feel

Hay Leanne, thanks so much for your response. Yes, I can really understand where you're coming from that it can be very tedious and tiresome to give all your energy to a person and them not give you their help in return. It I have to admit that even I haven't always kept up my end of the bargain in regards to that with friendships. And I do regret that quite a bit

I really caution you about removing them from your life. You can maybe move them from the center of your friendship circle, but they should still remain within the circle. Anyway, that's just my thought for what it is. I hope you have a wonderful day and bye
You. Thank you for your two cent. I really, really appreciate it, and I am definitely taking it to heart. Yeah, I was definitely speaking out of anger the other day, a bit more than I'd like to admit. And you're right. Sometimes friends don't always serve us in the capacity we might like, but they're still friends, and they still serve a purpose, and they're still there
