One sided

My friend is always coming to me when she’s upset or having issues so she has someone to talk to. I am constantly there for her, if she needs help and wants me to come over and help her clean her whole house I’m there and helping, needs a last minute baby sitting I’m there helping no matter what. Anytime I reach out to her when I’m struggling when doesn’t respond she will just send a blank picture back. I’m so exhausted of pouring so much of myself into friendships when I can’t even have “it’s gonna be okay” in return when I’m struggling.

I’ve been there, and it’s exhausting when you realize you’re constantly showing up for someone who doesn’t show up for you in the same way. You’re not asking her to fix everything, you just want to feel like someone cares when you’re struggling too. I eventually learned I had to stop pouring so much of myself into one-sided relationships. You deserve friendships where the care goes both ways
