What real love looks like (this changed my perspective) 🤍

[marcianascimento]

That’s true but sometimes it’s difficult to find friends that keep to themselves, and for a very private person, it’s hard to share.

[blueberries]

Why did I tear up…I guess when you have lived with the feeling of being a burden you just can’t be vulnerable or ask for help. I feel for asking, I feel bad for needing, I feel bad for being incapable, I just don’t know how to

[clydemeador]

Everyone needs someone, but sometimes you jus gotta handle it yourself

[FUNNY-guRrrl]

Why can’t I find anyone like this? It’s like I would and always have for everyone else but if I ever need the same no one is ever there for me.

Before social media .... real flesh and blood was all we had to work.with...❤

[michaeldiffey]

That's very true.
You're denying a friend a blessing in their life when you don't let them help you.
If someone let's you down, then they weren't much of a friend.
Don't punish others because of your past.

This we All should Aspire to be the Friend We Call on when We are in the Shit. 🥰this makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

[elainealmquist]

I have been the show up for the shit friend for so many people, and I so struggled to ask for and receive help from others. It was such a revelation when I decided that I should and could receive help. It helped me build intimacy in my friendships.

[Damrdon]

We love to suffer with those we love. We want to bear their pain anyway we can because we love them. And when they deny us this it really hurts.

Good people are hard to come by these days

I was the one helping others all my life. Got a cancer scare now after 50. The people I was closest to for decades didnt react at all, for weeks, not even a text, except one. My penpal from the other side of the world was there immediately.
Find out season..

If after I am free a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. I can be perfectly happy by myself. With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be perfectly happy?

But if after I am free a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly. If he shut the doors of the house of mourning against me, I would come back again and again and beg to be admitted, so that I might share in what I was entitled to share in. If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him, I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation, as the most terrible mode in which disgrace could be inflicted on me. But that could not be. I have a right to share in sorrow, and he who can look at the loveliness of the world and share its sorrow, and realise something of the wonder of both, is in immediate contact with divine things, and has got as near to God’s secret as any one can get ~ Oscar Wilde

I have a best friend who is like this, I call her first in every big thing, good or bad. Things have changed lately though, it is just me experiencing everything on my own.

[KyllisAugustus]

"I'd be mad if you didn't" sounds like you're a good judge lol

[azazelviper]

I now see this though as its gotta be reciprocal, im not over extending myself anymore for people that just take advantage of it

[JannafayeThompson]

How lucky i dont have anyone like that. Never really have. My sister, brother & mom but . mostly my sister the rest would come with judgement.

[Btrthanvr-bf]

I live to serve fight and protect it's all I know

[cactusjackhausen]

Yeah no this sucks. I am that friend that people call when theyre in a jam and it can be exhausting and expensive and taken for granted all too easily

[eunoia-]

Well, I call my bf and he usually says that I have a bad timing for things. 🤷‍♀️😪

[NurseLife]

I guess certain people have that thing in them where people turn to them. But in this case the friend wasnt being used because the friend was like id be mad if u didnt.
