a friend i have

8/8

there was a friend i used to be very close with. we are still friends but we don't talk nearly as often. i consider the time we spent together enjoyable and was happy to have them as a friend, but i can't help but consider the friendship very unhealthy. We talked basically every day, but it really bothered me when my friend would need to know what i was doing all the time and would be upset if i didn’t respond in time. They felt like a very needy boyfriend. They would want good morning texts and to talk throughout the school day. A significant portion of our conversations was me being used as a therapist, and i could tell my responses were never satisfactory enough, probably because, im not a therapist. They aren’t a bad person and we shared a lot of common interests. Over time i stopped talking with them so much because i hated the fact i was always walking on eggshells. Maybe they didn’t feel the same way, but i certainly did. They’ve definitely changed thankfully, even if we don’t talk so much anymore. Mostly because they found an actual boyfriend.
