Are you the only one keeping the friendship going?

The Overwhelmed Brain ·

2026/03/29

What is the recipe of reciprocation in a friendship when it comes to keeping in touch. Is it always 1 to 1 (you call, they call, repeat)? Or, is it always just you calling them? Hmm... seems one-sided, doesn't it? But, is it? Good topic to talk about.

The Overwhelmed Brain ·

The Overwhelmed Brain ·

2026/03/01

Some people accuse just to keep you busy defending yourself. Some do it because, perhaps, they like to see you suffer? That can't be true... can it? If you're constantly accused for things you didn't do, you might be a mirror more than a target.

This doesn't have to be as good as it gets

The Overwhelmed Brain ·

Stop blaming yourself for your stupid decisions

The Overwhelmed Brain ·

2026/02/08

The Overwhelmed Brain ·
