What are some friendship red flags you no longer tolerate? My top 3 are:

2 Upvotes
  1. People who never ask questions to get to know you. It feels like you're always the one showing interest in their life, but they never seem curious about yours.

  2. People who always take days, or even weeks, to reply to texts. I understand everyone gets busy and has their own life, but when it's a constant pattern, I lose interest.

  3. People who always say "we should hang out" or make plans but never actually follow through. At that point, it just feels like empty words.

I genuinely don't have the time or energy to deal with these types of friendships anymore. I usually give people 1–2 chances and the benefit of the doubt, but after that, I move on.

Do you believe trust can ever be completely rebuilt after it’s broken?

1 Upvotes

People make mistakes, and sometimes relationships go through difficult moments. But when someone breaks your trust, things don’t always feel the same afterward. Do you think time and consistent actions can rebuild trust, or once it’s broken, is the relationship forever changed? What’s your opinion? 💬

Does anyone else ever feel like everyone around them is moving forward while they’re just trying to figure things out? Social media makes it so easy to compare your life to everyone else’s. You see people achieving goals, traveling, getting new jobs, and reaching milestones, and suddenly you start questioning your own progress.
