1. It’s always you calling them
They never make contact. Though you don’t see them sending you messages to check on you, they react to your SMS. When you call, they pick up. In such case, nothing occurs.
You and you alone are essentially striving to maintain this relationship. Let that baby go under.
2. They only call when they need something
Ah yeah. When they need something, they do like you. Then, out of nowhere, they emerge. Perhaps they are short on rent or need money for a dress. Such a wonderful friend.
They only take, take, take, so you’re definitely running up quite a charge.
3. They don’t listen
They could even be texting on their phones while you’re having coffee, so you may not even have a topic of conversation; you may simply want to share a hilarious anecdote.
They are not actually interested in anything you say in a one-sided friendship unless you remark, “Oh, here’s that money you needed.”
4. They’re never on time
My girl, Aretha Franklin said it best. R-e-s-p-e-c-t. They don’t respect your time if they never arrive on time. They aren’t punctual because they don’t care.
They may have been punctual, but did they really need your assistance or money at those times? BINGO. The puzzle’s components fit together.
5. They control what you do
You two take care of everything they wish to do. There isn’t any giving in. Perhaps whatever you proposed was rejected by them.
One of the telltale indicators of a one-sided friendship is when the other person insists on getting their way no matter what the cost. This is a terrible tyranny, not a friendship.
