For those of you who do not know what âpseudoâ means, it means: false; not genuine; a sham.
Okay, now thatâs cleared up. Let me tell you what a true best friend is.
A true best friend is someone who sticks by your side no matter how hard the road gets, no matter the distance, or no matter how difficult one another can be. They will tell you right from wrong and scold you for doing the wrong thing, sometimes even scold you for doing it without them. A true best friend goes through everything with you, your period, your lonely days, your heartaches/heart breaks, etc.
Iâve had a âbest friendâ that I was once all about. I protected this person through thick and thin, and Iâve given this person so much just to see their smile. Iâve listened, Iâve cried, Iâve fought. Iâve pretty much done everything for this person, but unfortunately I wasnât good enough. I was always easily replaced, or easily forgotten when someone better comes along. I was this personâs back up, because no matter what Iâd be there for them. Iâd never turn this person down when theyâre in need. I got taken advantage of.
You see, every time me and this person fought, Iâd be the one to apologize first. To be the bigger person and make things right again because I canât go weeks, days even.. Without talking to this person. I was always at fault, and all this person would do is agree and apologize after for being âsilly.â Even when theyâve done me wrong so many times, I still forgave this person.
There was a point in my life where my boyfriend cheated on me and my âbest friendâ told all the people they knew like it was a juicy topic. Thatâs when I realized enough was enough. I handled their tears, fears, and drama. The one thing I did not need in my life was someone talking about my personal life with other people, especially the person I called my best friend. My life is not a magazine where I needed my personal problems to be advertised to the public, little did I know, this person has been doing this all the years Iâve know them.
Itâs currently been a year, and I have not seen or talked to this person I used to call âbest friendâ the same way. Iâve realized I was better off without this person always bringing me down with them. I realized I was being taken advantage of, and to be quite honest, Iâve been good without this person in my life.
My point being, I had a false best friend, an imitation of a best friend. A best friend who was not genuine to their title in my life.
Pseudo best friend, someone who is not a genuine best friend, false best friend. Perhaps, even fake.
Donât keep torturing yourself with someone like this, you deserve much better and trust me, it will get better. It doesnât have to be a similar problem to mine, but if you feel as if your friendship with someone is one sided and youâre being taken advantage of, set things straight. You canât keep reasoning with yourself about saving a friendship, you win some, you lose some. Youâll find better people along the way.
Be true to yourself and your friends, you deserve much better than they have ever treated you.
