Our friends are usually the most uplifting aspect of our social life.
As the cliche goes, they are the family we get to choose.
However, sometimes we rely on people that aren’t really friends to us.
We make time for them, and we care about them, but we are reallyin a one-sided friendship.
Instead of making us feel empowered and accepted, they make us feel bad about ourselves.
Sometimes people have subtle ways of accomplishing this effect.
This is obviously no way to make a friend feel valued and appreciated.
There are many reasons your friend could be doing this.
Hint: None of them are justified.
You want friends who appreciate you for who you are.
