This is a really good post and I agree with you. In this age of social media, it's really easy to have a lot of intense friendships, including with people who demand too much of our time and make us, as you said, bend over backwards for them. The polar opposite of that is ghosting, which is bad as well. I like how your post recommends 'letting go' instead of 'ghosting' or maintaining a high-intensity friendship with somebody who drains you: a gradual parting of ways, a drifting away. That is, unless, the friendship becomes really toxic- then a clean break is more than justified!

I truly appreciate that this came across my feed at a time I needed to read something like this. To read someone else's sentiments on similar emotions I've been experiencing lately. I really enjoyed this!

Thanks for sharing. <3
