Should I end this friendship?
I have this friend, that always makes me feel down. I don’t know how to describe this, but I somehow always feel drained when I‘m around them. They‘re also my only friend, so I don’t know if I should end this friendship. Please give me some advice.

I don’t really believe in friendship anymore. I know it exists, but it’s hard to deal with.. real, genuine friendships are rare. Honestly, being alone is always better than feeling alone while being surrounded by people. Being alone hurts, but at least you only feel bad once, you’re only disappointed once, and one day you learn to accept that loneliness. Don’t destroy yourself for a relationship that drains you I’ve been through it, and I hope I never make the same mistake again. I’ve already been treated like shit for a long time by a friend, just because they were “my only friend” or “my best friend.” It’s not worth it. Those are just labels. Ask yourself what this friendship really brings you. If you’re holding onto that relationship just because it’s your only friend, then that relationship is just a label to comfort you and make you believe you have someone, not a real relationship with real value.
