wtf the fuck at all of these posts i’m seeing on my dash defending outright emotional manipulation and abuse in friendships/relationships in general.
if you are at a point in your relationship with someone where:
they are openly (however passive aggressively) jealous about you spending time with people who aren’t them
they demand your attention above everyone else’s, or above other things you have going on in your life
they force you to fulfil a quota of communication with them every day, like communication with them is something you owe them instead of something that should com naturally for both of you
you have to walk on eggshells around them to avoid making them angry at you
they refuse to apologise for treating you badly becuase they ‘can’t help’ it
you feel guilty doing things that aren’t talking to them in case it upsets them
if you are generally interacting them out of a perceived obligation or fear of upsetting them rather than a genuine desire to speak to them
A MULTITUDE of really unhealthy shit
that is not healthy. that is not a sign of a healthy friendship. stop defending this shit.
