People project what they believe friendships should look like in their minds onto our relationship. For me, the definition of help is giving attention back. If you ever had somebody who's like, I was just trying to help and all you did was just like, and that person just made your life 10 times harder, that is not help. That is inverted health. That is destruction. And for me, that's it. Like, if you resent me winning, why are you here? Right? The reason they're still there is because there's a chance that your success will benefit them. But while you're succeeding, they'll still try and destroy it in case they can bring you down.
