@elliemcmakin: Btw before you get all upset there is a difference between the crisis friend im talking about and someone who manufactures crisises to one up yours. #friendship #adulthood
the "crisis friend" isn't someone who has a string of bad things happen to them - it's someone who weaponizes those things against others

It's more than just the "crisis friend" it's the "always in crisis and I'm never responsible for anything" friend.

This hurts my heart. For several years I experienced several tragedies. I felt alone, defective, unlovable, and a burden. but 1 friend was always there. she may have saved my life.

Once I quit being empathetic and people pleasing 24/7, I suddenly find myself with no friends. 🙃

There is a difference between a person who is genuinely dealing with a string of bad luck, and the “crisis friend” the friend who’s down on their luck is still a good friend, the crisis friend isn’t

as a reformed 'crisis friend', do what you gotta do to protect your peace. they'll either figure it out and grow, or they won't.

IMO, a key aspect of the "crisis friend" is the lack of reciprocal support. They'll expect you to drop everything at a moment's notice to help them, but never return the favor and try to downplay (1)

And they’re NEVER happy for your accomplishments!!!!! You can’t even express any type of happiness because it’s always how miserable they are

I was the crisis friend. I did not know i had bipolar and it made it difficult to navigate my emotions. I got on meds though and I am no longer the crisis friend.

I care for my friends like they're family, but my life became less stressful once I stopped enabling my crisis friend

And don’t let it be a Uno reverse where you’re the one going through the crisis and they’re more upset that you aren’t able to show up the way they want for them because of it

chatty_writer6666 :
it was a "crisis friend" mixed "Nothing is my fault" and "I want attention" and "my problems are more important than your problems." don't know why I held onto that friendship for more than 10 years.

They be like, “He broke up with me….you don’t understand!” As if I’ve never experienced heartbreak.
