Freewill -

What I have found throughout my life is that I make friends with people based on where I'm at in my own mental health growth. So, when I was going through hospitalizations and such I surrounded myself with other people who were pretty sick like me. That wasn't such a good thing!

If I'm feeling that I'm not worthwhile, I make friends with people that I can cater to and end up feeling used.

It's such a viscious circle! For this reason I don't have many "close friends". In thinking about dating recently, I heard that if you want a relationship, be the person you want to date. So I think this is good for friendships to - be the person you want to be friends with. And if you aren't that person quite yet - look for those people who are going to help you get there.

I think you are very wise to understand that this person is not helping you and you need to break away!
