Some Friendships Need to Go with Issa Rae

And so the idea that that gets cut off for any reason, and especially if I'm culpable or if I felt betrayed by you, that is devastating. And even in hearing this letter, this woman felt like she was even hesitant to become this person's friend to begin with. And then ultimately was just like, oh, okay, I see the value in my life.

But there were tinges of selfishness there just even in terms of how she saw the friendship. But it still felt like She was, in any version of this, I don't know, I don't think that she was willing to be a full friend to this woman, is the way that I read it. And that's okay, but you just have to be honest about that. You can't have it both ways.

Yeah, I think I don't disagree with that. But there is the, if you're always showing up, if you're always the one that's like checking in, if you're... Even if you're always the one providing the tickets, that's fine. Like, tickets to the games, I'm always the one with the tickets.

That's the unhealthy imbalance where it's just, okay, you're not going to show up for me in the same way that I show up for you.

I know your effort is. Yes. Even if it's just pizza. Like, girl, I know you like pizza and you invited me. This means a lot. And I will meet you where you're at because I know that this is your love language. But you can tell when someone's kind of checked out of any kind of effort or that you don't rank as high on their list of friends.
