Dear Anita,

Thank you for the response.

I do need to stop hanging around in friendships where others are too self centered. Recently I’m teaching myself to slowly break off from relationships where I’m the only giver and the other person is the taker. I came to the realization that one of my close friends here only calls me when they have a favor to ask or an errand for me to run. And another one only talks about their emotional burden when we hang out, while gives me no words of comfort or a listening ear if I ever try to speak.

I’m happy to realize that. It feels like getting a burden off of shoulders.

Thank you for your words and time. It always helps.

Sending you so much love
