Abuse doesn't have to be physical, though. It can also be emotional.

I'm not saying to drop your friends and family at the first signs of negativity. There are people, though, who are not good for you, and nothing you can do can change that. The sooner you figure out who those people are and get them out of your life, the better.

My friends are not MEANT to make me happy. They are meant to be there when I’m unhappy.

What if they make you feel worse when you're unhappy?

I mean, it looks like we agree that friends should, if not make you happy, at least make your life better in some way. I'm talking about the people who are making your life worse.

Sometimes they’ll have to “make me unhappy” to make me realize my mistakes. That’s what friendship is all about.

What if you don't agree that they're mistakes?
