I used to think friendship meant forever. Meant daily chats, long voice notes, tagged memes, and showing up for every moment, big or small. I used to think friendship meant being everything to everyone. Available. Dependable. Unbreakable. But lately, I’ve had to relearn it all. Because I gave too much, to people who gave only… Continue reading Redefining What Friendship Means to Me
Why Opening Up Feels Risky Now… I used to open up like a book, Spilling truths without fear. Telling my story in real-time— raw, honest, trembling. I believed in connection. Believed in the power of being seen. But lately… even typing a caption feels heavy. Even saying “I’m not okay” feels like too much. Because… Continue reading Vulnerability Fatigue
Social Exhaustion Explained… I walk into rooms where laughter fills the air— but none of it wraps around me. I smile, I nod, I join the circle… but inside, I still feel outside. I’m the odd one out. The quiet one. The different one. The one who doesn’t quite “click.” They don’t mean to ignore… Continue reading When You’re the Odd One Out

…Is It Isolation or Self-Preservation? Sometimes, I disappear. Not for attention. Not in anger. But quietly like a retreating tide. I stop replying. Stop showing up. Stop pretending I’m okay. … Because I’m not. Not all the time. And I’m finally starting to say that out loud. But when I go quiet, they say I’m… Continue reading Crawling into Solitude…
No one talks about how much it hurts to lose a friend. Not a fling. Not a relationship. But a friend a person you laughed with, cried with, grew with. When that ends, it’s a different kind of pain. Quieter. Longer. Often, lonelier. We made plans for the future. Said, “I got you” and meant… Continue reading Heal After a Friendship Breakup
Some friendships don’t end with a fight. No betrayal. No screaming match. Just silence. Just space. Just… emptiness where connection used to live. And sometimes, you’re left wondering was it ever friendship at all? Or just familiarity dressed up as loyalty? I’ve been there. Stuck in cycles with people I thought were for me until… Continue reading Friendship or Familiarity? Knowing When It’s Time to Let Go
They call me the strong friend. The one who listens. The one who gives advice. The one who keeps it together when everyone else is falling apart. I wear it well this armor of composure, this mask of “I’m fine.” But some nights, when the world is quiet, I cry in silence. Because no one… Continue reading Why Being the ‘Strong Friend’ Can Be So Lonely
Dealing With One-Sided Friendships… I used to think that loyalty was enough. That if I showed up, stayed true, kept checking in, kept caring that friendship would thrive. That people would see me the way I saw them. But I’ve learned, painfully, that loyalty doesn’t always echo. Sometimes it fades into silence.
