Reevaluate your relationship with false friends. Ask yourself whether you want to continue spending time with a fake friend. Think hard regarding how you feel when you're with this person. See if they are adding anything positive to your life at all. If they are not, it may be in your best interests to call it quits. [13] X Research source

About a year ago, an ex friend told me I don’t ever listen to her despite the fact that I would spend hours on the phone with her talking about your life and how it all has gone wrong. Very rarely did I ever did to talk about what was going on in my life….not a real friendship. On other occasions, if so eager for friendship, a person with autism may tolerate aggressive and unpleasant behavior from the outset if it means they are not alone. The company of an abusive person is still company. We focus more on trying to make ourselves fit into the friendship rather than finding friends who are a good match and who have “friendship integrity.” Centifanti LC, Fanti KA, Thomson ND, Demetriou V, Anastassiou-Hadjicharalambous X.

Setting boundaries really helps you develop a sense of self-compassion and self-worth. [12] X Expert Source Nancy Lin, PhDI’ve had to cut everyone out aside from my husband. After too many years of too many problems it was necessary. I talk to people very vaguely and they usually just guess from there I think. Or, in my case try to cause drama. For many years now I have just stayed to myself. I have this friend, Mia. We have been friends for more than 2 years. Her birthday was coming up and I asked what are you doing for it. She replayed that she is going to invite 3 close friends. She looked right into my eye and said this. She had said this during lunch, so when I went to study one of her ¨close¨ friends said to another girl ¨did you get the invitation for Mia´s party¨ and then i said ¨Mia is having a party?¨ and the girl said yes. Then i learned that she did not invite me and that she invited like 7 other people, none of them me. Fake ass. I thought I would get invited, I am also 12 and in middle school. My mom was right, the people you trusted the most can betray me. I decided to drop her for me other friends. The thing is if I drop her i drop the friend group. and i was not ok w it and i am ok w it. 50 50. I am ignoring her fake ass and dropping her for other friends. bye mia You should feel better after spending time with your friends, not severely drained, tired or annoyed.
