Mistaking emotional intensity for emotional depth —— ooooooh that rings so true

You just described me and my platonic friendships. Always one intense, chaotic "best friend" who leans on me and uses me until I collapse.

I have never resonated with something so truly. Now that I'm out on the other side of the illusion, I am grappling with the existential realization that comes with seeing that this loneliness I have been so familiar with all my childhood, I must become good good friends with

So so relatable, especially the part where you see the other person as what you have been searching for only to realize the magic about them…. Was you all along. 🩷

How do you think the person on the other side can change for your friendship to have been different? I’ve been in a similar dynamic but I’m the other person and she’s the one that would relate to this video. We are stuck and struggling

Every word! Hollow and needing that intensity to hold you over just long enough to push through the loneliness until the next time.

Yes, I had a best friend like this. It was to the point that I was one person with her (the person I was with my mom) and a “normal” person with others

The emphasis you put on the word "hollow" let me know we are definitely experiencing the same thing.

🌹foodfor_thot💭 :
wow, this resonated so deeply. from the lonely child who craved love and connection to getting excited about a friendship that was only ever surface level trauma bonding 🥲 and the crash out! it may have been necessary to our growth, because you are clearly a very wise because of it. I hope you're doing well 💕 because this didn't end well for me. definitely glad it's over though.

Turn that lead into gold, baby! This is how you do it. Great honesty and it’s not forced. Just who you are now. It’s all going to pay off. And is paying off. You are sharing your journey in a way that can enormously help others. And is helping others.

Absolutely relate. That intensity makes you feel like you matter and in reality your attention made them magical because you were safe to exist in it. When that friendship ends you realize how ordinary and insignificant they were.

This was my last relationship completely. It used to be my bestie until something broke and it was now or never. She actually choose now and we worked on repairing our relationship. It took a lot of work but I think we're on solid ground but it wasn't easy.
