Yeah I hate the attitude off dumping friends just because they’re going through some shit, they can be in a terrible place for years, if you let them lean on you a little you might have earned yourself someone who would die for you once they’ve recovered.

where do you hear people insisting others dump their friends who are going through a hard time? i wouldnt ever consider a friend whose struggling to be someone whos no longer serving me. i think those are two very different things.

The trick is to be able to see the difference between friends who are temporarily in a bad place and friends who are toxic but that you are keeping because of the sink cost fallacy. And sometimes, the survival of the friendship requires to take a step back for a while.
