I am a considerate friend, a loving friend and I lower my pride for them and say sorry first
even if it is not my fault at all. My closest best friend is the one who made me realize than I am
letting others take advantage of me and that I let them joke around with me which is below the
belt like, “If you are depress then jump on top of the building” that I let them manipulate me. My
best friend told me that she observe how I let my other friends treat me like that and I even
defended them that it is okay because we have been friends for 6 years. My best friend told me
that she understand how I feel but letting them eat me up, manipulate me and treat me like an
outcast is different from being with a healthy friendship. In that time, I and my best friend were
talking all night about self-love that she told me to focus on myself more and not to overthink
because at the end of the day I did my part as a friend to them and they just take it for granted
for me to not feel guilty.

How did it feel when I was made aware of it? I talk to myself every day that I even take a
break from social media were I deleted all my social media apps and block all my contacts. On
the first week, all the anxiety of the flashbacks on how they treat me that every day I go home
from school I go straight to my room and cry all night because I feel like I am an outcast. All my
mental issues beat me up every day and because of that I feel like it is time to let them realize
that I am not that taken for granted friend anymore that when I started to use my social media
apps again they made a spam and for some reason I make a cue that the old me is gone but a
loving friend will always be here.
