Friendship Feels One-Sided: My Wake-Up Call

Ever notice you’re always the one texting first? That was me with my friend Jamie. I’d reach out, plan hangouts, listen to her drama, but when I needed her, she was MIA. I started to wonder: if I stopped texting, would she even notice? Spoiler: she didn’t. It stung, but it was also freeing. I realized I was keeping this friendship on life support. When I finally put the ball in her court, the silence was deafening. So, I took a step back, focused on myself, and—surprise!—I felt lighter. Sometimes, letting go is the healthiest move, even if it feels weird at first. If you’re feeling used or just plain tired, maybe it’s time to stop reaching out too. You deserve friends who show up for you, not just when it’s convenient for them. 😅✌️ #FriendshipTruths #LettingGo #SelfWorth
