💎 Friendship: Bonds that Build or Break Trust
Friendship can be one of the most beautiful parts of life.
But let’s be honest – not every friendship is real.
🩹 When Friendship Hurts
Some friendships leave us with scars – and lessons:
• 🕰 Friendships of Habit – that exist simply because they always have, but no longer bring you joy.
• 🎯 Opportunistic Friendships – that last only as long as a shared circumstance (work, school, project) and fade once it’s over.
• 🤐 Secret Friendships – when two people keep a bond hidden, pretend in front of others, and call it “real.” A friendship that needs secrecy to exist is rarely pure – true friendship never fears the light.
• 🪞 One-Sided Friendships – where one person always listens and supports, while the other only focuses on themselves.
• 🥀 Jealous Friendships – where someone is silent when you rise but celebrates when you fall.
• 🎭 Escapist Friendships – that show up only when the other person needs to escape their problems.
• 🪞 Mirror Friendships – that remind you who you used to be but no longer match the person you have become.
• ⚡ Toxic Friendships – filled with criticism, competition, or manipulation that drains your energy.
🌱 Different Types of Friendships by Need
For example: a “fun friend,” a “mind friend,” a “soul friend” –
recognizing that every person has a different role in your life,
and you don’t need to expect everything from just one person.
🌱 The Lesson
Every painful experience is a filter:
it keeps close the few who are true –
and clears out those who have no place in your heart.
🔑 How to Choose Your Friends
• 🌿 Look at actions, not just words.
• 🌿 Give time before sharing your soul.
• 🌿 Keep those who celebrate your wins & stand by you in hard times.
• 🌿 Stay where there is reciprocity and respect.
💡 Mini Mindset Shift
Don’t be bitter about those who showed their true colors.
It’s a cleansing – it makes space for friendships that are true, pure, and full of light.
✨ Remember:
True friendship doesn’t hide and doesn’t weigh you down.
It makes you feel safe, accepted, and strong. 💛
🌸 Think of a friend who supported you in tough times, share in the comments what true friendship means to you, and what is the greatest lesson a friendship has taught you! 💬
