We laughed together. Shared secrets. Called each other “family.”
But every time I needed support, they were “too busy.” Every win I shared? It got ignored — or turned into competition.
I stayed loyal to people who were only loyal to *my silence* — as long as I stayed beneath them.
Then one day, it clicked:
> **Friendship isn’t about being there when it’s easy. It’s about showing up when it’s hard.**
I stopped begging for connection. I stopped shrinking to keep peace.
And I learned — you don’t lose real friends when you start loving yourself.
You only lose the ones who were never real.
