**Recognizing and Ending Unhealthy Friendships **

Stop investing in people who won't invest in you. If someone is emotionally unavailable or unwilling to support you, it's self-torture to continue investing in them. Many people fall into the trap of trying to win over emotionally unavailable individuals, turning it into a status game. This leads to a toxic cycle and impacts self-worth. The best action is to disengage from such relationships. It's not a sign of giving up but realizing they are not the right fit, allowing you to find a healthier connection sooner rather than later.
