11. High expectations
This one is on you, then. When people have high expectations of what you provide to the connection since it has always been you, it is one indication of a one-sided friendship. You now have to sustain this standard. They are unhappy if you don’t satisfy it.
12. They put you down
You’ll find out if you enroll in a new art class or do anything else that prevents you from taking care of them. But not in the usual straightforward manner.
They’ll make fun of you and make the case that the time you don’t spend with them is being wasted. Continue taking your pottery lesson and ignore them.
13. They don’t open up
The entire purpose of friendship is to be able to share your feelings and thoughts with someone who can relate to them. However, if you’re the only one giving out personal information and they’re waiting nearby to gather it for their next trick, then you should probably escape.
14.Manipulation is common in a one-sided friendship
Relationships are friendships. They are also vulnerable to mental and emotional abuse. You won’t likely even notice the abuse since you wouldn’t anticipate it coming from a buddy. But trust us, there is actual manipulation.
15. They’re resentful when you take a step back
Instead of feeling sympathetic if you decide to distance yourself from the friendship, they get enraged and bitter. That indicates they are not your friends. A buddy attempts to figure out what went wrong and how to solve it.
