He explains why the people who stay through a hard season, rather than the ones who show up only for the easy ones, are the friends worth keeping close, and why a grudge, a lie, or a one-sided exchange is a signal rather than a small annoyance. It is a clear-eyed look at what healthy relationships ask of both people. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.marcandangel.com/2026/06/23/9-things-a-true-friend-would-never-do/ Quotes to ponder: "True friends love and appreciate each other just the way they are."
