i can never tell if it’s okay to discard friends who wouldn’t stand up for me. in my mind, if you wouldn’t protect me, we don’t need to be friends. i also don’t think anyone is obligated to do so tho. BUT i know if someone i know is messing with my friend? i’m cutting them off

i don’t think anyone is obligated to stand up for me but i honestly don’t know if that’s my trauma speaking because im used to people never protecting or defended me. just “minding” their business

like would you stand up for me or not? because if i’m looking at the people around me, i’ve been proven that they won’t. and now i sound like Toni from Girlfriends Im your best friend and I was getting my ass kicked

i think maybe it’s ok that they don’t engage bc i can fight my own battles. BUT i do believe that if you KNOW someone was messing with me and you continue to support them and overlook it? we can’t be friends. that’s my official take.
