One Sided Friendships! If You Stop Reaching Out, Do They Disappear???

Описание: Have you ever noticed that you’re always the one organising catch-ups?
You’re the one messaging first.
The one checking in.
And when you stop… nothing happens.
This video is about one-sided friendships — the quiet, subtle kind that don’t look toxic on the surface, but slowly wear down your self-worth over time.
In this episode, we explore:

What one-sided friendships actually look like
Why they hurt more than we expect
How people-pleasing keeps these dynamics going
Why it’s so hard to step back or let go
And what healthy, mutual friendships should feel like

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Why am I always the one trying?”
“Am I asking for too much?”
“If I stop reaching out, will this friendship disappear?”
You’re not alone — and you’re not needy for wanting effort, consistency, and care.

This video is especially for people-pleasers, highly empathetic people, and anyone who feels emotionally exhausted from carrying friendships on their own. You shouldn’t have to chase connection to deserve it.
And the right friendships don’t leave you constantly questioning where you stand.
If this resonates, let me know in the comments — or share it with someone who might need to hear this today.
