Does anyone else struggle with what I call unequal friendships?
I asked my friend to attend my graduation in September and they aren’t going to come. I’d go for them and I find this happens a lot. I feel friends don’t do for me what I do for them?

Sad to say yes I agree friendship can feel unequal sometimes. I don’t understand why though especially something like a graduation that’s a big event in a persons life and congratulations by the way could you ask why they can’t accompany you?
Hi SallyA30,
Welcome to the forum.
I'm sorry you're feeling this way. It can be really hurtful when it feels like you're putting more into friendships than you're getting back. Hopefully, some of our members will share their experiences and what's helped them navigate similar situations.
