Look in the mirror and tell yourself you deserve better. You don’t treat others like that so you shouldn’t have to tolerate bad treatment either. Love yourself more ❤️

instead of looking at it as confrontational, look at as a healthy way of expressing your feelings. just sit down and tell her the things that bother you. if she continues to disrespect you at that point, and can’t even respect the fact that it bothers you, that’s when you walk away!

Slowly start to separate yourself eventually you get used to the peace and realize you won’t compromise it for chaos.Think of it as giving yourself a test run at what you truly deserve. Would talking via text be a better option for you? That way you can control the conversation a little more than in person. Tbh sometimes the best way to get it over with is to just do it and not use the possible outcomes as a justification.Just remember that friendship isn’t worth your sanity!
