9. They only wanted to talk to me whenever they felt lonely, but never wanted to talk to me when they were fine.

10. She wasn’t responding to messages for days but spammed and got pissed off if I don’t respond within an hour.

11. They only wanted to drink. If we were just chillin at my house they would bring a 12 rack, then complain they were bored and wanted to go to the bar. Before I knew it I was getting drunk 3-4 times a week. Our friendship use to be playing games, hanging out with friends, but it devolved into just sitting on a couch drinking. Its an easy trap to get pulled into.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
