Imagine you've been close to a friend for years, but recently they’ve started asking you for constant help with their personal problems without showing any appreciation or trying to improve their situation. This friend drains your emotional energy and leaves you feeling exhausted and psychologically strained. On one hand, you want to preserve the friendship you’ve had for years; on the other, you feel this relationship is harming your mental health and daily life. Is it better to try setting clear boundaries and reduce contact, or to keep providing support despite the negative impact?
