Description
I love my bestie. She's my childhood friend. When she told me she was changing schools to come to mine, I literally jumped for joy. But I realize that my life was much simpler before she arrived. I had my gang, my dinners at the library and I didn't have to answer to her. Now I witness the mean jokes she serves everyone every day. I'm ashamed. Not to mention her murderous comments that cut into me like knives... Loosen up, Jade!, We know, Jade is the first to throw herself at the candy!, You cry for nothing, you play the victim!. They become heavy to bear, destroy my self-confidence little by little. It seems like I'm not good enough for her. I have to talk to her about it, but I'm afraid of her reaction. However, as a friend, she should love me as I am and respect me. Right? A friendship becomes unhealthy when it causes a lot of pain and anxiety. When you are caught in the cogs of a toxic friendship, jealousy, disappointment and guilt tarnish the relationship. Learning to recognize your limits and express them is one of the first steps to respecting yourself.
