Rethinking Friendship Expectations

Maintaining realistic expectations in friendships is essential for healthy relationships. Often, individuals expect friends to prioritize their needs without considering what others may be managing in their lives, such as work challenges or financial constraints. For instance, if expecting a friend to attend multiple events across states, it’s worth reflecting if they might face obstacles you might not recognize. Renewing this perspective can foster a deeper understanding of shared responsibilities rather than leading to frustration or disappointment.
