In which situations a friendship can swallow us and destroy our life ?
It’s not friendship if it’s danger. It’s bullshit, manipulation, toxic, whatever.
Problematic relationships should be identified as such and swiftly abandoned.
One of those posts where I go, “OP are you okay?”
Yeah, Am okay. A little bit confused about how to choose & maintain friendship.
Co-dependence
I think any can be really.
A friend gives us validation, which could push us to do things we don’t want in some situations.
We can also be betrayed by a friend, and our outlook on life/perspectives shift into darker territory, particularly if you are isolated and stuff…
Someone you consider to be a friend may also not have your best interests at heart, or may have a completely wrong impression of you, and may not protect you from danger when you need it most.
Despite those, IMO friends are kind of essential from a mental health perspective - we’re social beings, isolation can bring out the worst in us. Whenever you come across someone that shares your values, keep them close 👍
Thank you.
Friendship with always one friend in the “leader” role.
Will he stay with me until my death ? But still friendships are essential.
In any situation. That’s why most of adults don’t have friends. We pretending to want someone but also really want to not have our lives destroyed.
