PRESS GREEN FLAG TO LISTEN TO PEAK -ˋˏ✄ are you and your friend starting to become for distant, and you think they're ignoring you? they could be ignoring you bc you're becoming a not-so-great friend. here's some reasons why this is happening rn: -ˋˏ✄ 1. you never defend them when someone insults them. for example, someone calls them chopped and u don't say anything. you should be saying to the person who insulted ur friends, "excuse me? she's so pretty, stop hating on others." that's what a good friend would do. even if someone insulted them as "a joke," you never know if that insult was or not, and it could have hurt your friend's feelings. if someone's badmouthing about them behind their back, and if you go along with it, who knows? maybe that person actually told your friend that you were badmouthing about them. and anyway, why would you join in the badmouthing? that's like, not cool. you should always defend and stand up for your friends. even if you're judging them for something, you shouldn't be badmouthing about them. 2. if they're feeling bad about themselves, like: "sometimes i feel like i'm ugly after all." and you just respond with nothing or saying, "oh okay." that's really ngl DUMB that you just did that, no offense. if my friend said that, i would say: "girl, no you're not ugly. don't hate on yourself!" even my guy friend said this to me when I was feeling chopped so like TY to himmmm (love you snowflake!!) 3. you barely recognize them for their achievements/compliment them. my friend, we're going to call her A, always adds me onto her TikTok stories whenever she wants to recognize friends who have stood up for her and cared for her. she is like the sweetest friend ever. and one day, when I made it into my school's musical, she congratulated me and gave me a hug! i luv luv her sm. we always give each other honest compliments and feedback. this girl gave me feedback in such a nice way, and i appreciated that! i recognized her feedback and used it. but i had this one friend who barely recognized me for my achievements, which i'm like okay...i always give you compliments so like. if you don't recognize your friends for the things they do, they probably would feel hurt and think that your kind of being a jerk. 4. you're not trustworthy. if you spill out their secrets when they don't want you to tell any other person, their going to not trust you as a friend. trust is one of the key qualities of an amazing friend, and their going to start avoiding you for that. 5. if your friend is feeling down and all you do is respond with, "are you ok?" and if they say yes, you just walk away, and don't do anything to comfort them, well honestly, you're not putting effort into trying to know if they're actually good or not. if my friend is feeling down, i would ask them if they need anything and want to talk about the problem. if not, i'll ask them if they want a hug bc like hugs are the best. and like if their feelings nervous about something and want you by their side, stay with them! my friends always holds my hand when i ask them to bc either im nervous or just need to be comforted. 6. you never put in the effort to let the friendship last. for example, my ex-friend never replied to my texts and tried to engage in conversations with me. i felt like they didn't just want to me my friend anymore, so i gave them space and eventually, we weren't friends anymore. 7. they might just be judging you, like for being weird or smth, which is dumb. like, they don't want to be with someone who likes different stuff than them. so, if that's the reason, stop being friends with them. they're being the jerk here. 8. you keep comparing yourself to them. some examples are that you keep mentioning how there's so much better than you, and like keep saying bad things of yourself. it can be really annoying. this can also bring a negative view of yourself too. of course, complimenting them is good, but if you make it too extreme, the relationship between you guys would be kind of awkward. another example of this is that you always complain about how your life is terrible, like you have a very busy schedule containing big tests, homework, and extracurriculars. well, what can your friend do about any of this? if you want them to help you like study for a test you could just ask them that but you don't have to keep complaining about your life to them, of course you could tell them about what's making you stressed out right now and like you need their help but you can't just randomly spit out that you're having a hard time without any cause. your friend is probably facing the same things as you, but probably doesn't want to bug you about how their life is going too. so, just don't complain/compare yourself to them without a cause, it can be annoying.
-ˋˏ✄ conclusion: if you're doing any of these signs except for number seven, you should talk to your friend about it and tell them that you understand what you're doing wrong and you are willing not to do them again. if your friend is doing any of these signs, and you don't like them for it, you should talk to your friend about them too. hope this helped !! :p -ˋˏ✄ bonus tips: (on being a good friend) -be a girl's girl (u can search what a girl's girl is online) -talk to your friend if you're having a problem with them. if they are willing to be a good friend, they will listen and try to be better, learning from their mistakes. also be willing to hear them out too. -point out things they're doing wrong but not in like a really critical way, just giving them feedback yk -if they ask you to do them a small favour, like if they want you to walk them to the bathroom, you should say yes and do it. another example is that they just want to be around u for a bit, you should stay w them too. of course, if they tell you to bomb up a building, or badmouth about someone, or spread rumours, or steal someone's man, etc., def don't do that, obvi -remember their b-day and get them a gift or even a homemade card (buying a card is kind of eh, u didn't put effort)!! it shows that you care about them @miquluvx TY SM FOR GETTING ME A GIFT I WANTED AHHHH LUV LUV LUV! ------------------------- [HAMILTON] Do you support your friends?
