🌸Heyy yall🌸

I've personally experienced situations where friends or acquaintances only contact me when they need a favor or financial help, never checking in otherwise. It can feel disheartening and make you question those relationships. Setting boundaries is key to maintaining your self-respect and mental health. One way I handle this is by politely but firmly saying no when approached for money or favors by people who haven't been supportive in return. It’s important to recognize the difference between genuine help requests and those based only on convenience. The feeling of being taken advantage of can be draining, so learning to spot this 'leeching' behavior helps protect you. Remember, healthy relationships involve mutual care, not just one-sided requests. Checking on each other’s well-being regularly builds trust, unlike people who disappear and reappear only when they need something. Setting such limits isn't always easy, but it empowers you to focus on relationships that truly matter and keeps negative energy at bay. It’s okay to prioritize yourself and your feelings—doing so improves your overall happiness and peace of mind.
